Landstar is a technology-enabled, asset-light transportation management company that connects thousands of independent contractors and third-party carriers to customers across multiple transportation modes including truckload, less-than-truckload, rail intermodal, air cargo, ocean cargo, and specialized services. The company operates through a network of independent commission sales agents and capacity providers, serving a diverse customer base across automotive, consumer durables, chemicals, food, retail, and electronics industries, with no single customer representing more than 8% of revenue. Revenue comes primarily from commissions on freight arranged through its digital platform, where Landstar takes a margin between what it charges customers and what it pays to transportation providers, while passing through variable costs like fuel surcharges directly to contractors, creating a highly variable cost structure that requires minimal capital investment.
