Landstar named independent Landstar Agent Preston Degelia as its 2024 Rookie of the Year during Landstar’s annual Agent Convention held April 2-5, 2025.

Landstar defines a rookie as an independent agent who is new to the Landstar network, but not necessarily new to the transportation industry. 

Degelia spent several years in the logistics industry before he opened the doors of his Landstar agency, Prime1 Logistics, in the fall of 2023. His agency, located in League City, Texas, coordinates the movement of flatbed freight across the country, primarily within the stone industry. Due to his hard work and entrepreneurial drive, Prime1 Logistics has generated more than $2.7 million in Landstar revenue. During this time, the agency has had zero accidents or cargo claims.

“Preston’s freight agency has demonstrated outstanding growth and revenue performance, earning him the 2024 Rookie of the Year award,” said Landstar President and CEO Frank Lonegro. “His business sense, entrepreneurial spirit, experience and professionalism are the hallmarks of a successful new Landstar freight agent.” 

Recipients of the Rookie of the Year award must be part of the Landstar network for less than two years, demonstrate outstanding revenue performance, and encompass excellence in customer service. Nominees for the 2024 Rookie of the Year award were independent Landstar agencies opened and operating between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024.
