Landstar News & Resources

Download the white paper to see some of the disastrous scenarios you are risking unless you work with an experienced heavy/specialized carrier.

With such a high volume of loads crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on a daily basis, shippers should be aware of the intricacies of cross-border transportation regulations and procedures to have a successful, efficient supply chain.

If your company does not have the resources or expertise to manage over-weight and/or over-dimensional moves, and you don’t bring in a heavy haul specialist who does, you could be setting yourself up for failure.

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.

The freedom and independence of Landstar’s business model are key to why so many small business owners succeed at “the big blue star.”

Katie MacDonald, Landstar Transportation Logistics vice president of agent development, explains how freight agents can use technology and data to drive growth on the Inbound Logistics podcast.

The company you trust your freight with can make or break your supply chain. These are the qualities that you should think about when evaluating your relationship with your transportation provider.

The keys to navigating the current environment are tied to selling value, understanding the competitive landscape and the working relationships between agents and BCOs.

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.
