As Landstar’s “ambassadors of safety,” Landstar Safety Officers (LSOs) are the representatives from each independent agency at the forefront of Landstar’s customer safety initiatives. The LSO, who embraces all aspects of Landstar’s safety-first culture, is the customer’s point of contact at the independent Landstar agency for safety-related questions.
Supporting customers with Landstar’s safety efforts is what LSOs do best. Congratulations to the following Landstar Safety Officers recently recognized as LSOs of the Month.
Landstar Safety Officer Alexandra Aguero was named the May 2020 LSO of the Month. Aguero and the staff at Axtecastar, LLC in Laredo, Texas, support Landstar’s safety culture by practicing complete and accurate dispatch, regularly dialing into the Safety Thursday Conference Call and attending annual LSO meetings. Aguero and her team’s commitment to safety is evident with zero preventable accidents and cargo claims. Congratulations to Aguero and team!
