Landstar System is an American logistics company based in Jacksonville , Florida . The company was founded in 19 and offers transport services in truck transport as well as intermodal transport . Landstar System operates primarily in the United States as well as Canada and Mexico.

Landstar System pursues a business model that clearly sets the company apart from competitors in the industry. Landstar had only 1333 permanent employees in the 2019 financial year, while the operational business is largely organized by over 1000 independent sales representatives throughout the USA. These rely on more than 10,000 contractually bound, but basically independent, hauliers who carry out the transport. The transport is carried out with vehicles from the independent haulage company. 97% of hauliers only own five trucks or less. The generated sales are booked directly to Landstar System, Inc., which pays 8% of the sales back to the sales representatives and between 65% and 75% to the hauliers.
