A dedicated fleet is a Fleet of Drivers who are dedicated to one customer's needs. Dedicated Services provides for the provisioning and dedication of transportation resources directly to a specific Customer's need. When timing, special handling, volume or other special circumstances do not allow for common carriage to be effective, Dedicated Services can ensure available capacity and overall peace of mind. Industry challenges such as the driver shortage, increased freight rates, stringent regulations, and network visibility make investing in your fleet more expensive and time-consuming. With Landstar, you can improve visibility and enjoy substantial cost savings through procurement, streamlined operational execution, and enhanced shipment and network optimization.

Retail Distribution (DC to Customer) If your freight runs from the DC to the same customers on a regular basis, we can set up drivers with routes to service the same route on a weekly basis.
Wholesale Distribution (DC to Retail Store) If your freight runs from the DC to stores, we can set up driver routes to service the stores during the hours the product needs to deliver. Our ability to scale up during surge times allows us to service these stores during heavy volume times with the same on time delivery standard as the slow season. Landstar already has over 10,000 trucks running year around. We can use capacity from the over road Landstar drivers and our Brokerage to service the surge times without having to scale the dedicated fleet up and down.
In Process Manufacturing Plant Transfer If you transfer from plant to plant regularly, we can set up drivers on weekly routes. If the transfers are not regular, we can use our brokerage and over the road fleets to service these lanes.
