Landstar System, Inc. was recognized on the Inbound Logistics 75 Green Supply Chain Partners list for 2025.
According to the publication, Landstar is one of its "leading organizations that 'walk the walk' when it comes to meaningful sustainability in supply chain and logistics operations." Given that environmental responsibility is more critical than ever in the current global landscape, Landstar is proud to be recognized on Inbound Logistics' G75 list. This is the third consecutive year Landstar has been acknowledged for its green initiatives.
Landstar's efforts that led to this selection in 2025 include:
As of 2024, 99.97% of Landstar's van trailers are equipped with aerodynamic devices. Each of the aerodynamic features used on its van trailers is listed on the SmartWay Verified List of Aerodynamic Devices as providing EPA-verified fuel savings of 5% or more when used in conjunction with low-rolling resistance tires.
Since 2024, 100% of Landstar's new trailer purchases have been equipped with low-rolling resistance (LRR) tires. Landstar is also committed to replacing any existing tires with LRR tires, depending on availability at the replacement location.
In recent years, Landstar has upgraded thousands of single-use battery-powered trailer tracking units to rechargeable battery-powered and/or solar-powered units. By the end of 2024, 13,349, or over 99%, of its van trailers were equipped with these advanced tracking devices.
Landstar encourages the use of the LandstarOne® mobile app, which includes Load Alerts® and Landstar Maximizer® technologies, to minimize empty miles and reduce idling time. Furthermore, Landstar's independent owner-operators are motivated to adopt technologies and purchase products that enhance fuel efficiency. For instance, the Landstar Contractors' Advantage Purchasing Program (LCAPP) offers discounts on items such as low-rolling resistance tires and auxiliary power units.
As Landstar President and CEO Frank Lonegro explains in the company's 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, "We are grateful that Landstar employees and individuals within our network of independent entrepreneurs are so generous in their commitment to making a positive impact – through safety, environmental stewardship, and community involvement."
