Landstar System: Is The Structural Growth in Truck Brokerage & Multimodal Freight Solutions Here To Stay?

Landstar System Inc. has reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 amidst a challenging economic environment, characterized by a soft truckload freight market and continued uncertainty around federal trade policy and inflation. The company’s revenue decreased by approximately 1% compared to the same period a year ago. However, when removing specific anomalies, such as revenue from Landstar Metro and agent fraud, a 1% increase is observed. This highlights the company’s ability to adjust to market inconsistencies. The company is actively marketing Landstar Metro for sale, which has seen favorable interest. This potential sale is expected to streamline operations, focus core efforts, and might eventually align with broader strategic objectives. During the quarter, revenue from Landstar’s heavy haul service notably rose by 17% year-on-year, attributed to increased load volume and an uptick in revenue per load.
