Landstar System, Inc. delivers comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, operating across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico) and globally. The company's operations are divided into two main divisions: Transportation Logistics and Insurance. The core Transportation Logistics segment offers an extensive range of freight movement options. These include full truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) services, intermodal rail, air and ocean cargo, as well as expedited ground and air delivery for time-critical shipments. This segment also handles specialized transport like heavy-haul projects, cross-border freight between the U.S. and Canada, and the U.S. and Mexico, as well as intra-Mexico and intra-Canada movements, and customs brokerage. Landstar additionally provides transportation services to other logistics providers, such as third-party logistics firms and small parcel carriers. To facilitate these services, it employs a varied fleet comprising dry and specialized vans, flatbed trailers, temperature-controlled units, and shipping containers. Its rail intermodal services leverage contracts with both domestic and Canadian railroads, while air and ocean freight are managed through agreements with international airlines and shipping lines. This segment caters to a diverse client base, including the automotive, consumer goods, building materials, metals, chemicals, foodstuffs, heavy machinery, retail, electronics, and military equipment sectors. The Insurance segment primarily reinsures specific risks associated with the company's independent contractors. Landstar markets its offerings via a network of independent commission-based sales agents and a pool of third-party capacity providers.
