Corrections Regarding Erroneous Landstar Stock Transaction Reports

Jacksonville, FL - Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR), a safety-first
transportation and information services company, announced today that four
separate Form 4 filings which were made on August 10, 2001 to report certain
sales of Landstar stock by members of its management contain erroneous
information with respect to the number of shares sold in the reported
transactions.

Company's Chairman and CEO, sold 3,658,039.72 shares of Landstar common stock,
Mr. Henry Gerkens, the Company's President and CFO, sold 755,020.34 shares, Mr.
Robert LaRose, the Company's Vice President of Finance and Treasurer, sold
824,557.21 shares, and Mr. Michael Harvey, the Company's General Counsel,
exercised options to purchase 175,261.32 shares of Landstar stock and sold
175,261.32 shares. The correct information is that during July, 2001, Mr. Crowe
sold 50,000 shares of Landstar common stock, Mr. Gerkens sold 10,000 shares, Mr.
LaRose sold 11,000 shares and Mr. Harvey exercised options to purchase 1,740
