While it is impossible for someone to physically move a real glacier, when it comes to moving a replica of these natural wonders, it just takes a little Landstar know-how.

When the time came to move to a new location, it took three dry vans to transport the industrial kitchen equipment that filled a large warehouse.

Independent Landstar Agent David Rilee has an extensive background in heavy haul sales. He left his previous company of 18 years to join the Landstar family in 2017.

Transportation may not be the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of national defense but it plays a critical role in maintaining the United States’ security.

Dan Lawry (LFS) is new to heavy-haul transportation, but not to the Landstar network. An existing customer was disappointed with its heavy-haul carrier and asked Lawry if he could handle the heavy-haul freight.

Landstar’s Mutual Understanding of Safety Together, or M.U.S.T. program, brings Landstar agents and safety team members together with customers in a joint effort to get freight delivered safely, on-time and damage-free.

Anyone involved in moving heavy or oversize loads knows that some take more effort than others. That was certainly the case with a 94,000-pound scissor-lift platform that stretches 110-feet long and spans 24 feet 6 inches – taking up 2 lanes.

Months before the move, NASA turned to Landstar Agent Jim Robinson who put his team at Specialized Transportation (STR) into motion to start coordinating the confidential move.

As an industry leader, Landstar is developing a new TMS to help its agents stay at the forefront of industry trends and efficiently meet customer needs.
