Landstar named independent Landstar Agent LeVar Ramsay as its 2022 Rookie of the Year during a ceremony held April 14, 2023.

What makes a new independent Landstar agent successful in the first year? According to Landstar’s 2021 Rookie of the Year Matt Emer, his customer-focused background, access to Landstar’s network of capacity providers and the backing of a recognized leader in the transportation industry all contributed to his success.

When Cole opened OKiE Logistics LLC, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he did so with more than 20 years in business and logistics. Find out why he decided to open his own business as an independent Landstar agent.

Having previously used Landstar services to move freight and a full book of business that connected back to his days in lumber sales, Rios decided to start his own freight agency.

“It is Louis’ experience, professionalism and determination that earned him the Rookie of the Year recognition,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni.

Landstar presented the 2018 Rookie of the Year Award to independent Landstar Agent J. Marshall Mizell during Landstar’s Annual Agent Convention held in Marco Island, Florida, this month.

A former professional truck driver and logistics coordinator, Gherzu opened her Land O’Lakes, Florida-based independent Landstar agency with more than 20 years of industry experience and a book full of potential customers.

Although Mariana Gherzu is a “rookie” to the Landstar agent network, she’s not new to the transportation industry.

Congratulations to all the award winners at the 2018 Landstar Agent Convention held in April at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.
