Description: LSTR Landstar System January 08, 2026

Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ:LSTR) delivers a broad suite of transportation-management services across North America and beyond, organized into two primary segments: Transportation Logistics and Insurance. The Logistics arm handles truckload, LTL, rail intermodal, air and ocean freight, expedited and heavy-haul moves, as well as cross-border and customs brokerage for industries ranging from automotive to military equipment. The Insurance segment underwrites risk for the company’s independent contractor network and offers claims-management services.

Key operational metrics that analysts watch include the company’s FY 2023 revenue of roughly $5 billion, an operating ratio hovering near 89 % (indicating tight cost control relative to freight revenue), and a growing fleet of over 10,000 contracted owner-operators. Recent quarterly filings show a 4 % YoY increase in average spot rates, reflecting tighter capacity in the U.S. truckload market, while fuel-price exposure remains mitigated by a hedging program that cut fuel cost variance by about 15 % year-to-date.

Macro-level drivers for Landstar are the sustained rise in e-commerce volumes, which boost demand for time-critical and LTL shipments, and the ongoing labor shortage in the trucking industry that favors asset-light models like Landstar’s independent-contractor network. Additionally, intermodal growth-fuelled by rail capacity constraints-offers incremental revenue opportunities through the company’s rail-intermodal contracts.
