Landstar System rescheduled its first quarter 2025 earnings release from April 29 to May 13, 2025, and expects to delay its Form 10-Q to the same date. The delay relates to the accounting and internal control review of a supply chain fraud in its international freight forwarding operations, which the company says is limited to one independent commission sales agency.
