Landstar News & Resources

Landstar knows from experience that when we move a shipper’s freight, we’re not just transporting products. We’re taking their business, mission and values along with us.

Don Ellis of Shipment Transport, Inc. based in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, was selected for his outstanding support of the Landstar safety culture.

Landstar announced Shape Technologies as the overall winner. Also recognized was independent Landstar Agent Mike Nelson of Nelson Logistics Management LLC, the Landstar agency that provides the customer with transportation logistics services.

The Landstar business capacity owner (BCO) who received financial assistance from the BCO Benevolence Fund says despite some hardships, 2018 gave him many, many reasons to be thankful.

“Humble” is the best word to describe the 2019 recipient of the Landstar BCO Lifetime Achievement Award Art Trezise - a three million mile safe driver and Roadstar® honoree.

A quick online search will call up the winner of the Landstar 2018 M.U.S.T. Customer Award – Google LLC. In 2018, 61 Landstar customers opened their doors to members of the Landstar safety team to discuss safety practices and improvements. The Mutual Understanding of Safety Together, or M.U.S.T., onsite customer visits offer shippers a unique and valuable experience.

The safe and secure delivery of your company’s freight is likely your top priority so it’s important that the transportation provider you work with makes safety its top priority, too.

Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni called Art Trezise’s safety record “flawless.” Since leasing to Landstar in 1979, Trezise has driven more than 3.5 million miles at Landstar without incident.

Black and his customer worked closely with the members of the Landstar safety team to create an intermodal plan with a new approach to cargo securement in support of the shipper’s coast-to-coast needs.
