Major infrastructure projects demand more than just moving freight from point A to point B. They require precision, experience, and a transportation team who can navigate complex challenges with confidence. The $1.4 billion renovation of EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, home of the NFL's Jaguars®, is a perfect example. Handling the logistics for a project of this scale requires a team with a proven playbook for success.
For a major North American pipe supplier tasked with delivering foundational pilings for the “Stadium of the Future,” the choice was clear. They needed a freight agent on their team with deep experience in project cargo and a commitment to seeing the job through. They found their top draft pick in the Landstar network.
Landstar Agent Adam Spencer of Spencer Global Logistics is leading the charge on this multi-year project. His agency’s deep experience in logistics project management, transloading, and stadium renovation made him a valuable player in securing the deal. But it was his promise of on-site problem-solving and hands-on management that sealed it.
"I decided on his agency for this project not only because I’ve worked with him in the past, but also because I knew he is local to the area and will personally see this project through," said Matt Corbell of the steel pipe supply company.
This level of dedicated service is a hallmark of Landstar's unique business model. Independent agents like Spencer act as an extension of their customers' teams, providing tailored solutions and unmatched support. They aren't just booking loads; they are managing complex supply chain challenges. Spencer prides himself on providing service customers can count on, day or night. "If our customers' lights are on, our lights are on," he says.
This commitment is powered by Landstar's extensive network of independent owner-operators they refer to as business capacity owners (BCOs). The strong relationships between agents and BCOs allow customers to benefit from a cohesive team that provides custom solutions and great customer service, even for the most demanding jobs.
"Our agency’s relationship with Landstar BCOs strengthens our commitment that loads will be picked up on time and handled professionally from beginning to end, giving our customers confidence that their project is our priority." Spencer explains. Landstar BCO Amani Triplett, one of the owner-operators on the project, agrees. "Developing a relationship with agents like Adam has helped my business," Triplett says. "I find reliable agents, and they look out for me as much as I look out for them and their customers."
The EverBank Stadium project showcases Landstar’s core value proposition: a powerful combination of experienced agents providing superior project management and a network of reliable, professional owner-operators executing the plan. It's a home-field advantage for a project in Landstar's own headquarters city, demonstrating how the Landstar network is building the future, one delivery at a time.
