Landstar System (LSTR)

The company’s main business is domestic truck transportation, especially truck brokerage and truckload services. A meaningful portion of freight is hauled by independent owner-operators leased to Landstar, while additional loads are handled by approved broker-carriers. This network approach allows Landstar to serve shippers with a wide range of equipment needs, routes and delivery requirements across North America.

Although trucking is the core of the business, Landstar also provides related logistics services, including intermodal transportation, air and ocean forwarding, warehousing support and other supply chain solutions. These complementary offerings help the company manage more complex freight requirements for customers that need services beyond standard over-the-road transportation.

Landstar is also distinctive for its agent-based sales system. Independent agents source and manage customer freight, while the company provides technology, carrier qualification, compliance, safety oversight and administrative infrastructure. This entrepreneurial model has helped Landstar build a reputation for disciplined operations and strong profitability within the logistics sector. The company also offers insurance-related programs for its captive owner-operator network, further supporting the ecosystem of independent capacity providers that underpins its business.
