<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;28, 2003, a total of 1,600,000 shares (6,400,000 shares, after giving effect to two
two-for-one stock splits) of the Common Stock of the Registrant were registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-105619) in connection with the Landstar
System, Inc. 2002 Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;2002
Plan&#148;). The Board of Directors of the Registrant adopted the Landstar System, Inc. 2011 Equity
Incentive Plan (the &#147;2011 Plan&#148;), which replaces the 2002 Plan. The Registrant&#146;s stockholders
approved the 2011 Plan on May&nbsp;26, 2011. As of July&nbsp;22, 2011, 2,239,117 shares of the Registrant&#146;s
Common Stock (after adjustment for the Registrant&#146;s 2:1 stock splits in November&nbsp;2003 and January
2005) registered under the 2002 Plan had not been issued and were not subject to currently
outstanding stock options. Pursuant to Rule&nbsp;457(p), these remaining and unissued shares are
carried forward and deemed covered by this Registration Statement on Form S-8 in connection with
the 2011 Plan. In connection with the 2011 Plan, the Registrant is also registering additional
securities of the same class as previously registered under the 2002 Plan.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative,
other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court
approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s charter, by-laws, disinterested director
vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL, permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
will not be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for acts or omissions as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the
Delaware statutory or decisional law. The registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that
each person who is or was serving or has agreed to serve as a director or officer of the
registrant, or who is or was serving or has agreed to serve another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise in certain capacities at the registrant&#146;s request, will be
indemnified by the registrant to the full extent permitted by law for liability arising from such
service. The registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated By-Laws require the registrant to advance expenses
incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding, so long as the person undertakes in writing to repay such amounts if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. In addition, the registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated By-laws authorize the registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the registrant or who
is or was serving at the registrant&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or
not the registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the Amended
and Restated By-laws.

legal counsel selected by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a
determination, within 45&nbsp;days of the registrants&#146; receipt of such claim, whether the officer or

Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART I
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 28, 2003, a total of 1,600,000 shares (6,400,000 shares, after giving effect to two
two-for-one stock splits) of the Common Stock of the Registrant were registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-105619) in connection with the Landstar
System, Inc. 2002 Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the "2002
Plan"). The Board of Directors of the Registrant adopted the Landstar System, Inc. 2011 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan"), which replaces the 2002 Plan. The Registrant's stockholders
approved the 2011 Plan on May 26, 2011. As of July 22, 2011, 2,239,117 shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock (after adjustment for the Registrant's 2:1 stock splits in November 2003 and January
2005) registered under the 2002 Plan had not been issued and were not subject to currently
outstanding stock options. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), these remaining and unissued shares are
carried forward and deemed covered by this Registration Statement on Form S-8 in connection with
the 2011 Plan. In connection with the 2011 Plan, the Registrant is also registering additional
securities of the same class as previously registered under the 2002 Plan.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative,
other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court
approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director
vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability for:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
will not be liable to the registrant or its stockholders for acts or omissions as a director,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the
Delaware statutory or decisional law. The registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that
each person who is or was serving or has agreed to serve as a director or officer of the
registrant, or who is or was serving or has agreed to serve another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise in certain capacities at the registrant's request, will be
indemnified by the registrant to the full extent permitted by law for liability arising from such
service. The registrant's Amended and Restated By-Laws require the registrant to advance expenses
incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding, so long as the person undertakes in writing to repay such amounts if it is ultimately
determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. In addition, the registrant's
Amended and Restated By-laws authorize the registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the registrant or who
is or was serving at the registrant's request as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or
not the registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the Amended
and Restated By-laws.

The registrant has entered into written indemnification agreements with its directors and
certain of its officers. Under these agreements, if an officer or director makes a claim of
indemnification to the registrant, either a majority of the independent directors or independent
legal counsel selected by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a
determination, within 45 days of the registrants' receipt of such claim, whether the officer or
director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware law that would permit (under Delaware law)
and require (under the indemnification agreements) the registrant to indemnify the officer or
director.
Please read "Item 9. Undertakings" for a description of the Commission's position regarding
such indemnification provisions.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
4
Table of Contents
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
