Go Green Today!
In today's global landscape, environmental responsibility has become more critical than ever, especially within the supply chain and logistics sectors. We are proud to share that Landstar System, Inc. has once again been recognized for its commitment to meaningful sustainability, earning a spot on the Inbound Logistics 75 Green Supply Chain Partners list for 2025. This marks the third consecutive year Landstar has been acknowledged for its dedication to green initiatives, a testament to its ongoing efforts to "walk the walk" in environmental stewardship.
Landstar's continued recognition stems from a comprehensive approach to environmental responsibility, integrating sustainable practices across its vast network. Key efforts contributing to its selection in 2025 include:
By 2024, an impressive 99.97% of Landstar's van trailers were equipped with advanced aerodynamic devices. Each of these features is listed on the SmartWay Verified List of Aerodynamic Devices, confirming EPA-verified fuel savings of 5% or more when utilized in conjunction with low-rolling resistance tires.
Since 2024, Landstar has ensured that 100% of its new trailer purchases are equipped with low-rolling resistance (LRR) tires. Beyond new acquisitions, Landstar maintains a strong commitment to replacing existing tires with LRR tires, prioritizing availability at replacement locations to continuously enhance fuel efficiency across its fleet.
In a significant move towards sustainability, Landstar has upgraded thousands of single-use battery-powered trailer tracking units to more environmentally friendly rechargeable battery-powered and/or solar-powered units. By the close of 2024, this initiative resulted in over 99% (specifically 13,349) of its van trailers being equipped with these advanced, energy-efficient tracking devices.
Landstar actively encourages the adoption of technologies and practices that enhance fuel efficiency throughout its independent owner-operator network. Programs like the LandstarOne® mobile app, with its integrated Load Alerts® and Landstar Maximizer® technologies, help minimize empty miles and reduce idling time. Furthermore, the Landstar Contractors' Advantage Purchasing Program (LCAPP) provides valuable discounts on products specifically designed to boost fuel efficiency, such as low-rolling resistance tires and auxiliary power units.
In today's environmentally conscious market, partnering with carriers committed to sustainability is not just good for the planet; it's smart business. Companies are increasingly scrutinized for their environmental footprint, and aligning with green supply chain partners can enhance brand reputation, reduce operational costs through efficiency, and meet growing customer and regulatory demands.
Landstar's consistent recognition by publications like Inbound Logistics underscores its leadership in this vital area. As Landstar President and CEO Frank Lonegro noted in the company's 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, this commitment is a collective effort: "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."
This dedication ensures that when you choose the Landstar network for your logistics needs, you're partnering with a system that prioritizes environmental responsibility without compromising on efficiency or reliability.
