Landstar News & Resources

Whether hauling a replica Viking ship, a statue of Abraham Lincoln or one of these other specialized hauls, we’ve got you covered.

Instead of paying for a full container load (FCL), LCL keeps the global supply chain moving as a timely, economical alternative for smaller ocean shipments.

The careful coordination needed to move a replica Viking ship across the country required an expert in heavy/specialized transportation.

Heavy or specialized loads present their own unique set of challenges for shippers handling cross-border trade. Pre-trip planning on this type of freight is critical.

Moving this 26-foot tall, 34,000-pound statue of Marilyn Monroe, called for just one owner-operator with many years of experience.

It would be impossible to haul an entire ship on a truck, even for the most experienced owner-operator with a super heavy duty truck, but Joe Donovan, Landstar business capacity owner (BCO), Million Mile Safe Driver and Roadstar® honoree, came close.

Handing over a load of freight to a customs broker and/or meeting regulatory requirements of cross-border shipments can present unique challenges.

Landstar’s Vice President and Chief Safety & Operations Officer Joe Beacom explains the qualifications a shipper should look for when choosing a heavy/specialized carrier in this podcast from Inbound Logistics.

When Landstar had to move oversized freight through five states, it developed and executed a plan for a safe delivery.
