The interim consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments (all of a normal, recurring nature) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. They have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the twenty sixthirty nine weeks ended June 25,September 24, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company has two employee stock option plans and one stock option plan for members of its Board of Directors (the “Plans”). The Company accounts for stock options issued under the Plans pursuant to the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation is reflected in net income from the Plans, as all options granted under the Plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share from the Plans, as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123

The following table includes the components of comprehensive income for the twenty sixthirty nine and thirteen week periods ended June 25,September 24, 2005 and June 26,September 25, 2004 (in thousands):

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

At June 25,September 24, 2005, Landstar had $27,219,000 of letters of credit outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and $40,862,000$39,210,000 of letters of credit secured by investments held at the Company’s insurance segment. The short-term investments of $25,998,000$22,617,000 combined with $16,627,000$18,542,000 of the non-current portion of investment grade bonds included in other assets at June 25,September 24, 2005, provide collateral for the $40,862,000$39,210,000 of letters of credit issued to guarantee payment of insurance claims.

On November 1, 2002, the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. (“OOIDA”) and six individual Independent Contractors (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court

During the 2004 fiscal year, 427 independent commission sales agents generated $1 million or more of Landstar’s revenue and thus qualified as Million Dollar Agents. During the 2004 fiscal year, the average revenue generated by a Million Dollar Agent was $4,374,000 and revenue generated by Million Dollar Agents in the aggregate represented 92% of consolidated Landstar revenue.

Historically, the Company’s carrier segment has primarily relied on capacity provided by Independent Contractors. Pursuant to a continuing plan to augment its available capacity and increase its revenue, the Company has been increasing the carrier segment’s use of capacity provided by other third party truck capacity providers. The percent

12

of consolidated revenue generated through all truck brokerage carriers was 32.6%33.6% during the twenty sixthirty nine week period ended June 25,September 24, 2005 and 25.0%26.3% during the twenty sixthirty nine week period ended June 26,September 25, 2004.

The Company incurs costs that are directly related to the transportation of freight that include purchased transportation and commissions to agents. The Company incurs indirect costs associated with the transportation of freight that include other operating costs and insurance and claims. In addition, the Company incurs selling, general and administrative costs essential to administering its business operations. Management continually monitors all components of the costs incurred by the Company and establishes annual cost budgets which, in general, are used to benchmark costs incurred on a monthly basis.

Purchased transportation represents the amount an Independent Contractor or other third party capacity provider is paid to haul freight. The amount of purchased transportation paid to an Independent Contractor is primarily based on a contractually agreed-upon percentage of revenue generated by the haul. Purchased transportation for the brokerage services operations of the carrier segment is based on a negotiated rate for each load hauled. Purchased transportation for the brokerage services operations of the multimodalglobal logistics segment is based on either a negotiated rate for each load hauled or a contractually agreed-upon rate. Purchased transportation for the rail intermodal, air and ocean freight operations of the multimodalglobal logistics segment is based on a contractually agreed-upon fixed rate. Purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue for brokerage services and rail intermodal operations is normally higher than that of Landstar’s other transportation operations. Purchased transportation is the largest component of costs and expenses and, on a consolidated basis, increases or decreases in proportion to the revenue generated through Independent Contractors, other third party capacity providers and revenue from the insurance segment. Commissions to agents are primarily based on contractually agreed-upon percentages of revenue at the carrier segment and of gross profit, defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation, at the multimodalglobal logistics segment. Commissions to agents as a percentage of consolidated revenue will vary directly with fluctuations in the percentage of consolidated revenue generated by the carrier segment, the multimodalglobal logistics segment and the insurance segment and with changes in gross profit at the multimodalglobal logistics segment.

Trailing equipment rent, maintenance costs for trailing equipment, Independent Contractor recruiting costs and bad debts from Independent Contractors and independent commission sales agents are the largest components of other operating costs.

Potential liability associated with accidents in the trucking industry is severe and occurrences are unpredictable. Landstar’s retained liability for individual commercial trucking claims depends on when such claims are incurred. For commercial trucking claims incurred subsequent to March 30, 2004, Landstar retains liability up to $5,000,000 per occurrence. For commercial trucking claims incurred from June 19, 2003 through March 30, 2004, Landstar retains liability up to $10,000,000 per occurrence. For commercial trucking claims incurred from May 1, 2001 through June 18, 2003, Landstar retains liability up to $5,000,000 per occurrence. For commercial trucking claims incurred prior to May 1, 2001, Landstar retains liability up to $1,000,000 per occurrence. The Company also retains liability for each general liability claim up to $1,000,000, $250,000 for each workers’ compensation claim and $250,000 for each cargo claim. The Company’s exposure to liability associated with accidents incurred by other third party capacity providers who haul freight on behalf of the Company is reduced by various factors including the extent to which they maintain their own insurance coverage. A material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, cargo or workers’ compensation claims or the unfavorable development of existing claims could be expected to materially adversely affect Landstar’s results of operations.

Employee compensation and benefits account for over half of the Company’s selling, general and administrative costs.

Depreciation and amortization primarily relate to depreciation of trailing equipment and management information services equipment.

All historical share-related financial information presented herein has been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend distributed on January 7, 2005 to stockholders of record on December 28, 2004.

The increase was attributable to increased revenue of $98,326,000, $39,301,000$143,598,000, $142,975,000 and $360,000$601,000 at the carrier, multimodalglobal logistics and insurance segments, respectively. With respect to the carrier segment, revenue per load increased approximately 11%10% in the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period while the number of loads delivered in the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period increased approximately 3%. The average length of haul per load at the carrier segment increased approximately 7%5% and revenue per revenue mile increased approximately 3%5%. Included in revenue at the multimodalglobal logistics segment for the 2005 twenty sixand 2004 thirty nine week periodperiods was $8,075,000$137,887,000 and $27,887,000, respectively, of revenue related to disaster relief efforts for the storms that impacted the southeastern United States in the later half of 2004.States. These emergency transportation services were provided primarily under a contract between Landstar Express America, Inc. and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”). Excluding the number of loads and revenue related to disaster relief efforts provided by the multimodalglobal logistics segment in the 2005 twenty sixand 2004 thirty nine week period,periods, the number of loads delivered by the multimodalglobal logistics segment in the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period increased approximately 7%3% and revenue per load increased approximately 8%6% over the 2004 period.

Investment income at the insurance segment was $1,235,000$2,087,000 and $542,000$879,000 in the 2005 and 2004 periods, respectively. The increase in investment income was primarily due to an increased rate of return, attributable to a general increase in interest rates, on investments held by the insurance segment and a higheran increased average investment balance.amount of interest bearing investments.

Purchased transportation was 75.2%74.9% and 74.6% of revenue in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased truck brokerage revenue, which tends to have a higher cost of purchased transportation, partially offset by a reduction in rates charged byincreased third party truck brokerage carriers.services provided for disaster relief efforts under the FAA contract which tends to have a lower cost of purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue. Commissions to agents were 7.9% and 7.8% of revenue in both 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in commissions to agents as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to a change in revenue mix.2004. Other operating costs were 1.6% and 2.1%1.9% of revenue in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in other operating costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased third party truck brokerage

year claims in the current year and increased third party truck brokerage revenue which has a lower claims risk profile. Selling, general and administrative costs were 5.8%5.5% of revenue in 2005 compared with 6.4%6.2% of revenue in 2004. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the effect of increased revenue, partially offset by an increased provision for bonuses under the Company’s incentive compensation plans.revenue. Depreciation and amortization was 0.8%0.7% of revenue in both 2005 and 0.7%2004.

Interest and debt expense was 0.2% and 0.1% of revenue in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in depreciationinterest and amortizationdebt expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased interest rates on borrowings under the increase inCompany’s revolving credit facility and increased capital lease obligations, partially offset by the numbereffect of company owned trailers.

The provisions for income taxes for the 2005 and 2004 twenty sixthirty nine week periods were based on estimated full year combined effective income tax rates of approximately 38.4% and 38.3%, respectively, which are higher than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily as a result of state income taxes and the meals and entertainment exclusion. The increase in the combined effective income tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in the tax law enacted by a number of states in which the Company operates.

Net income in the 2005 period was $41,371,000,$76,996,000, or $0.69$1.30 per common share ($0.681.27 per diluted share), inwhich included approximately $24,177,000 of operating income related to the 2005 twenty six week period compared with $25,692,000,$137,887,000 of revenue for emergency transportation services provided primarily under the FAA contract. The $24,177,000 of operating income, net of related income taxes, increased net income approximately $14,893,000, or $0.43$0.25 per common share ($0.420.25 per diluted share), in. Net income for the 2004 twenty six week period was $47,306,000, or $0.79 per common share ($0.77 per diluted share), which included the $7,600,000 charge to settle one accident referenced above. This charge, net of related income tax benefits, reduced 2004 net income by $4,900,000, or $0.08 per common share ($0.08 per diluted share). Also included in net income for the 2004 thirty nine week period was $5,100,000 of operating income related to the $27,887,000 of revenue for emergency transportation services provided primarily under the FAA contract. The $5,100,000 of operating income, net of related income taxes, increased net income approximately $3,100,000, or $0.05 per common share ($0.05 per diluted share) in the 2004 thirty nine week period.

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25,SEPTEMBER 24, 2005 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 26,SEPTEMBER 25, 2004

Revenue for the 2005 thirteen week period was $539,104,000,$676,070,000, an increase of $56,801,000,$149,187,000, or 11.8%28.3%, compared to the 2004 thirteen week period. The increase was attributable to increased revenue of $48,891,000, $7,619,000$45,272,000, $103,674,000 and $291,000$241,000 at the carrier, multimodalglobal logistics and insurance segments, respectively. With respect to the carrier segment, revenue per load increased approximately 7%8% in the 2005 thirteen week period while the number of loads delivered in the 2005 thirteen week period increased approximately 6%3%.

Excluding the number of loads and revenue related to disaster relief efforts provided by the multimodalglobal logistics segment in the 2005 and 2004 thirteen week periods, the number of loads delivered by the global logistics segment in the 2005 thirteen week period decreased approximately 2% and revenue per load increased approximately 4% over the 2004 period. The decrease in the number of loads delivered by the multimodalglobal logistics segment was attributable to a decline in the 2005 thirteen week period increased approximately 3% and revenue per load increased approximately 3% overamount of freight moved under the 2004 period.segment’s less-than-truckload substitute line haul service offering.

Investment income at the insurance segment was $696,000$852,000 and $239,000$337,000 in the 2005 and 2004 periods, respectively.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Landstar provided the following information that may be deemed non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenue per load for the multimodalglobal logistics segment excluding revenue and loads related to emergency transportation services provided primarily under a contract with the FAA and (2) the percentage change in revenue per load for the multimodalglobal logistics segment excluding revenue and loads related to emergency transportation services provided primarily under a contract with the FAA as compared to revenue per load for the multimodalglobal logistics segment for the corresponding prior year period. This financial information should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the corresponding GAAP financial information also presented in this Form 10-Q.

Management believes that it is appropriate to present this financial information for the following reasons: (1) a significant portion of the emergency transportation services were provided under the FAA contract on the basis of a daily rate for the use of transportation equipment in question, and therefore load and per load information is not necessarily available or appropriate for a significant portion of the related revenue, (2) disclosure of the effect of the emergency transportation services provided by Landstar relating to disaster relief efforts for the storms that impacted the southeastern United States during the later half of 2004 will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in Landstar’s financial condition and results of operations, (3) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of Landstar’s results as compared to the results of peer companies and (4) management considers this financial information in its decision making.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Shareholders’ equity was $180,064,000$201,441,000 at June 25,September 24, 2005, compared to $212,839,000 at December 25, 2004. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily a result of the purchase of 2,421,3802,873,053 shares of the Company’s

16

common stock at a total cost of $80,659,000,$95,600,000 and the distribution of its first ever cash dividend, partially offset by net income for the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period and proceeds related to the exercise of stock options. At June 25,On July 28, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. As of September 24, 2005, the Company maywas authorized to purchase up to an additional 976,9002,525,227 shares of its common stock under its authorized stock purchase program.programs. Shareholders’ equity was 64%66% of total capitalization (defined as total debt plus equity) at June 25,September 24, 2005 compared to 70% at December 25, 2004.

Long-term debt including current maturities was $101,618,000$105,452,000 at June 25,September 24, 2005, $9,528,000$13,362,000 higher than at December 25, 2004, primarily as a result of capital lease additions during the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period.

Working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities were $183,875,000$201,670,000 and 1.831.67 to 1, respectively, at June 25,September 24, 2005, compared with $209,753,000 and 1.87 to 1, respectively, at December 25, 2004. Landstar has historically operated with current ratios within the range of 1.5 to 1 to 2.0 to 1. Cash provided by operating activities was $81,393,000$147,751,000 in the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period compared with $42,182,000$58,804,000 in the 2004 twenty sixthirty nine week period. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the timing of

On July 8, 2004, Landstar renegotiated its existing credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides $225,000,000 of borrowing capacity in the form of a revolving credit facility, $75,000,000 of which may be utilized in the form of letter of credit guarantees. The initial borrowing of $70,000,000 under the facility was used to refinance the Company’s prior credit facility, which has been terminated.

At June 25,September 24, 2005, the Company had $65,000,000 in borrowings outstanding and $27,219,000 of letters of credit outstanding under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. At June 25,September 24, 2005, there was $132,781,000 available for future borrowings under the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company has $40,862,000$39,210,000 in letters of credit outstanding, as collateral for insurance claims, that are secured by investments and cash equivalents totaling $42,625,000.$41,159,000.

Historically, the Company has generated sufficient operating cash flow to meet its debt service requirements, fund continued growth, both internal and through acquisitions, and to meet working capital needs. As a non-asset based provider of transportation capacity, the Company’s annual capital requirements for operating property are generally for trailers and management information services equipment. In addition, a significant portion of the trailing equipment used by the Company is provided by third party capacity providers and through leases at rental rates that vary with the revenue generated through the use of the leased equipment, thereby reducing the Company’s capital requirements. During the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period, the Company purchased $1,184,000$1,851,000 of operating property and acquired $12,955,000 worth$19,308,000 of trailing equipment by entering into capital leases. Landstar anticipates acquiring approximately $20,000,000$10,000,000 of operating property during the remainder of the 2005 fiscal year either by purchase or by lease financing. It is expected that capital leases will fund any significant acquisitions of Company provided trailing equipment made during the remainder of 2005. The Company does not anticipate any other significant capital requirements in the near future.

Management believes that cash flow from operations combined with the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet Landstar’s debt service requirements, fund continued growth, both internal and through acquisitions, complete the authorized share purchase program, pay quarterly dividends and meet working capital needs.

LEGAL MATTERS

On November 1, 2002, the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. (“OOIDA”) and six individual Independent Contractors (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) in the United

17

States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the “Court”) in Jacksonville, Florida, against the Company. The Complaint alleges that certain aspects of the Company’s motor carrier leases with its Independent Contractors violate certain federal leasing regulations and seeks injunctive relief, an unspecified amount of damages and attorney’s fees. On March 8 and June 4, 2004, the Court dismissed all claims of one of the six individual Plaintiffs on the grounds that the ICC Termination Act (the “Act”) is not applicable to leases signed before the Act’s January 1, 1996, effective date, and dismissed all claims of all remaining Plaintiffs against four of the seven Company entities previously named as Defendants.defendants. Claims currently survive against the following Company entities: Landstar Inway, Inc., Landstar Ligon, Inc. and Landstar Ranger, Inc. (the “Defendants”). With respect to the remaining claims, the June 4, 2004 order held that the Act created a private right of action to which a four-year statute of limitation applies. On November 30, 2004, the Court heard oral argument on a motion by OOIDA to certify the case as a class action. On April 7, 2005, Plaintiffs’Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint that included additional allegations with respect to violations of certain federal leasing regulations. On April 18 and June 10, 2005, Defendants filed motions for partial summary judgment to address the claims of the Amended Complaint. On August 30, 2005, the Court granted a motion by Plaintiffs to certify the case as a class action, and set trial for the April 2006 trial term. On October 19, 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit denied the Defendants’ petition for permission to file an interlocutory appeal of the class-certification order. The District Court is expected to rule prior to trial on the pending motions for class-certification and summary judgment. A court ordered mediation is currently scheduled for September 7, 2005. Trial for this matter has been set for the trial term beginning October 3, 2005.

Due to a number of factors, including resolution of the pending motions for class-certification and summary judgment, the lack of completionincomplete state of discovery in this matter, particularly with respect to classwide discovery issues, and the lack of litigated final judgments in a number of similar cases or otherwise applicable precedents, the Company does not believe it is in a position to conclude

The Company is involved in certain other claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect to the resolution of all such other claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome, after provisions thereof, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The allowance for doubtful accounts for both trade and other receivables represents management’s estimate of the amount of outstanding receivables that will not be collected. Historically, management’s estimates for uncollectible receivables have been materially correct. Although management believes the amount of the allowance for both trade and other receivables at June 25,September 24, 2005 is appropriate, a prolonged period of low or no economic growth may adversely affect the collection of these receivables. Conversely, a more robust economic environment may result in the realization of some portion of the estimated uncollectible receivables.

Landstar provides for the estimated costs of self-insured claims primarily on an actuarial basis. The amount recorded for the estimated liability for claims incurred is based upon the facts and circumstances known on the balance sheet date. The ultimate resolution of these claims may be for an amount greater or less than the amount estimated by management. Historically, the Company has experienced both favorable and unfavorable development of prior year claims estimates. The Company is continually revising its existing claims estimates as new or revised information becomes available on the status of each claim. During the 2005 twenty sixthirty nine week period, insurance and claims costs included $2,301,000$1,600,000 of favorable adjustments to prior years claims estimates. During the 2004 twenty sixthirty nine week period, insurance and claims costs included $2,199,000$2,940,000 of unfavorable adjustments to prior years claims estimates. It is reasonably likely that the ultimate outcome of settling all outstanding claims will be more or less than the estimated claims reserve at June 25,September 24, 2005.

The Company utilizes certain income tax planning strategies to reduce its overall cost of income taxes. Upon audit, it is possible that certain strategies might be disallowed resulting in an increased liability for income taxes. The Company has provided for its estimated exposure attributable to income tax planning strategies. Management believes that the provision for liabilities resulting from the implementation of income tax planning strategies is appropriate. To date, the Company has not experienced an examination by governmental revenue authorities that

would lead management to believe that the Company’s past provisions for exposures related to income tax planning strategies are not appropriate.

Significant variances from management’s estimates for the amount of uncollectible receivables, the ultimate resolution of claims or the provision for liabilities for income tax planning strategies can be expected to positively or negatively affect Landstar’s earnings in a given quarter or year. However, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these items, given a range of reasonably likely outcomes, will not significantly affect the long-term financial condition of Landstar or its ability to fund its continuing operations.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Management does not believe inflation has had a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of Landstar in the past five years. However, inflation higher than that experienced in the past five years might have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

SEASONALITY

Landstar’s operations are subject to seasonal trends common to the trucking industry. Results of operations for the quarter ending in March are typically lower than the quarters ending June, September and December.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS No. 123”). FAS No. 123 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. FAS No. 123 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Under FAS No. 123, the Company, beginning in the first quarter of 2006, will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

Currently, the Company discloses the estimated effect on net income of these share-based payments in the footnotes to the financial statements. The estimated fair value (cost) of the share-based payments has historically been determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. As of the date of this report, the Company has not determined which method to use upon implementation of this standard. The actual compensation cost resulting from share-based payments to be included in the Company’s future results of operations may vary significantly from the amounts currently disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of its financial activities, primarily its borrowings on the revolving credit facility, and investing activities with respect to investments held by the insurance segment.

On July 8, 2004, Landstar entered into a new senior credit facility with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides $225,000,000 of borrowing capacity in the form of a revolving credit facility, $75,000,000 of which may be utilized in the form of letter of credit guarantees. The initial borrowing of $70,000,000 under the facility was used to refinance the Company’s prior credit facility, which has been terminated.

The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of operating or capital lease obligations and the purchase of operating property. Landstar is required to, among other things, maintain minimum levels of Consolidated Net Worth and Fixed Charge Coverage, as each is defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at rates equal to, at the option of Landstar, either (i) the greatest of (a) the prime rate as publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase
