Pundt Earns Lifetime Achievement Award
A heartfelt message of thanks went out
to the audience from Landstar Government
Services Liason Jeff Pundt as he accepted
the Jeffrey C. Crowe-Robert E. Zonneville
Lifetime Achievement Award in front of his
peers at the Landstar Annual Convention in
Marco Island at the end of March.
“This is a great company,” he said, praising
the Landstar agents, BCOs and fellow
employees attending the ceremony.
“But I wouldn’t have been able to do any of
it without the support of my wife Marsha,
who raised our kids and was there to support
me over the past 35 years.” Together they
have two grown children and one grandson.
Pundt has been a part of the Landstar
family since its beginning in 1988, and
part of one of the companies that formed
Landstar prior to that. In 1996, he became
President of Landstar Inway, later, President
of the Carrier Group, and prior to his current
position as Government Services Liason,
he was Vice President of Corporate
Landstar President and CEO Henry Gerkens
and Landstar Government Services Liason
Jeff Pundt
Business Development.
“His dedication to this company and its
mission is indisputable,” said Landstar
President and CEO Henry Gerkens. “He
has always been willing to take on new
assignments with an open mind and a straight
forward approach.”
Landstar first presented the lifetime
achievement award in 1994, when Landstar
Chairman Jeff Crowe established the annual
prst std u.s.

award in honor of Bob Zonneville, also a
former Landstar Inway President. The award
was renamed four years ago to honor both
men. Award nominees are individuals, like
Pundt, who have not only taken the road to
success, but have also led the way for others.
“Over the years, Jeff has touched so many
at Landstar influencing a variety of segments
from Operations to Sales, including:
Automotive, Government Services, National
Accounts and Specialized and Heavy Haul
Services,” said Gerkens.
Well respected by his peers, he has also
held positions of influence with a number
of associations. Pundt is currently Chairman
of the National Defense Transportation
Association’s Surface Committee and
formerly the Chairman of the NDTA
Munitions Sub-Committee. He has
served on the Board of Directors of the
Truckload Carriers Association and as a
Director for the Specialized Carriers and
Rigging Association.
