Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 18, 2007, Landstar System, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

In the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Landstar provided the following information that may be deemed non-GAAP financial measures: (1) operating margin for the thirteen and thirty-nine week fiscal periods ended September 29, 2007, as compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine week fiscal periods ended September 30, 2006, exclusive of revenue and operating income related to transportation services provided under the contract between Landstar Express America, Inc. and the United States Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”); (2) change in operating margin for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, exclusive of revenue and operating income related to emergency transportation services provided primarily under the FAA contract; (3) percentage change in revenue and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, exclusive of revenue and net income related to transportation services provided under the FAA contract; (4) percentage change in revenue for the fiscal quarter to end December 29, 2007, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2006, exclusive of revenue related to transportation services provided under the FAA contract; and (5) with respect to the fiscal periods ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, revenue per load for the global logistics segment excluding revenue and loads related to transportation services provided under the FAA contract.

Each of the foregoing financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the corresponding GAAP financial information also presented in the press release.

Management believes that it is appropriate to present this financial information for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in Landstar’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of Landstar’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; (3) a significant portion of the transportation services previously provided under the FAA Contract were provided on the basis of a daily rate for the use of transportation equipment in question, and therefore load and per load information is not necessarily available or appropriate for a significant portion of the related revenue; and (4) management considers this financial information in its decision making.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
