Landstar System Inc.’s net income for the first quarter of 2018 surged 77.5 percent year-over-year to $57.47 million, according to the company’s latest financial statements.
The Jacksonville, Fla.-based asset-light trucking company’s diluted earnings per share for the first quarter totaled $1.37, up from 77 cents for the first quarter of last year.
Revenues, which totaled $1.05 billion for the quarter, were up 34.2 percent year-over-year.
Landstar’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share, payable on June 1 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 10.
