KIRKLAND, Wash., January 6, 2009 – Kenworth Truck Company announced that it will extend a successful rebate program with Landstar System, Inc. through 2009.

The program offers a $1,000 rebate on qualifying purchases of new Kenworth sleeper trucks to independent contractors who provide Landstar with transportation capacity under exclusive lease arrangements.
