Landstar celebrated the grand opening of its new 8,000 square foot field operations center in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on Friday, Nov. 15.

As entrepreneurs, Landstar owner-operators never stop moving; not only in the literal sense, but also in terms of education. After all, to stop learning about the ever-changing transportation industry is to risk business stagnation. With Landstar, they always have resources for their businesses within reach at the company’s field operations centers.

Landstar has announced the groundbreaking of its new field operations center in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Landstar Express America has placed first in the Truckload Category – Under 5 Million Miles of the Florida Trucking Association’s (FTA) 2022 Fleet Safety Awards.

This year, Landstar made a few changes to provide more personalized service and enhance communications between business capacity owners (BCOs) and the staff in departments that work closely with them. Each BCO has been domiciled to one of the seven Field Operations Centers throughout North America.

“We had one month to arrange the transport of the Nighthawk from the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® division to two locations,” explains Mike Thompson, agency owner of D&M Transportation Inc.

When it comes to assuring the company’s Innovation Roadshow is in perfect condition during its annual tour of North America, Daikin Applied relies on Landstar.

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.

The creator turned to independent Landstar agency WW Transport Inc. and Landstar Business Capacity Owner (BCO) Ronald Shaw, who has 21 years of experience hauling heavy and overdimensional freight with his double-drop trailer.
