Henry Gerkens, Landstar Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Consistent with the 2013 first quarter, the Company experienced softness in both the number of loads and revenue per load on loads hauled via truck throughout the second quarter with much of the softness coming from revenue hauled on unsided/platform equipment. Despite the soft operating environment, Landstar's operating margin for the 2013 second quarter was a very solid 45.7%. The 2013 second quarter operating results, although not equal to the 2012 second quarter results, demonstrates the resiliency of our variable cost business model." The Company anticipates its revenue for the Q3 2012 to be between $670 million and $715 million, operating margin to be between 46% and 48%, and diluted EPS of $0.67 to $0.72.
