Florida-based Landstar is a global transportation system built for the 21st century. Compared to an ordinary logistics business, it operates with a network of independent freight agents, leased owner-operators and other third-party capacity providers, empowering them to offer customized shipping solutions. Landstar uses technology such as the Available Loads mobile application, with which independent owner-operators can easily find and set alert notifications for potential loads from its freight board that meet their criteria. A network of 1,300 independent agents post the loads onto the freight board daily. Landstar is 100% non-forced dispatch so you choose what and when to haul. As a safety-first company, it has strict operator qualification requirements, as well as orientation and training, plus customer and public outreach programs.
