Landstar News & Resources

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.

Landstar works directly with our network of independent freight agency owners to help them establish business plans. While the plan is unique to every freight agency, these are the components we frequently assess throughout the process.

TLG Transport Inc. uses computer-aided design (CAD) software to predict the best transportation route for superloads.

Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight doesn’t require a full truckload, but it does require a full understanding of just how complex it can be to combine several smaller shipments to fill one truck.

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.

Organizations with irreplaceable pieces of history should only trust a carrier with experience in moving high-value, high-security freight – which is why they call Landstar.

Supporting the United States military is part of daily operations at Lee’s Services and Storage LLC. The independent Landstar agency has more than three decades of experience moving multi-load projects for the DoD.

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.

Opening a freight agency is an exciting undertaking. But any entrepreneur knows that growing a business is not a simple mission. What do you need to do to build your freight agency?
