Landstar System reported an all-time record for quarterly net income in its second-quarter financial results.

Landstar System said it reached a key milestone in the fourth quarter of 2017 with revenue topping $1 billion for the first time and earning record profits from its asset-light trucking and freight brokerage operations.

Third-party logistics firms capitalized on stronger demand to transport freight this summer but spent more to purchase trucks, resulting in what Wall Street analysts predict will be a mixed-earnings season.

Truckload carrier and logistics provider Landstar System produced broad-based improvement among its services and generated second-quarter increases in net income and revenue, topping the consensus estimate of analysts by 2 cents a share.

Landstar System Inc. reported record first-quarter revenue and earnings per share, and net income climbed.

Landstar System Inc. profits improved 4.5% in the fourth quarter compared with 2015, besting estimates from industry analysts for one of the few bright spots among trucking companies during earnings season.

Landstar System Inc. reported third-quarter net income fell 7.8% to $36.3 million, or 86 cents per share, hurt by a drop in flatbed freight loads and revenue

Landstar System Inc. net income tumbled 20%, hurt by a combination of weaker trucking results and accident costs, while Marten Transport Ltd. earnings rose 2.1%, helped by dedicated and intermodal results as well as gains on equipment sales.
