employees with her classroom skills. “I cannot begin to count the number of emails, phone calls and
‘elevator’ feedback I receive about her enthusiasm, professionalism,
patience, knowledge and positive attitude,” Smith said. “Her
efficiency, creativity and ability to work as a team player make her
beneficial in every way.” Herndon, a native of New Jersey, lives in Jacksonville with her

question. If you give her details on a task, she is off and running,”
said Aaron Peterson, a brokerage sales manager in Brokerage Services for
the Landstar Carrier Group. “Sandy cares about her position and
assisting those around her with whatever she can. She is also that rare
employee, so driven to succeed, that you often have to tell her to go
home.” Woodhouse is a native of the Northern Illinois area and lives in
Rockford with her husband of 10 years, Jim. Outside of work, Woodhouse
enjoys spending her time reading and taking walks. Landstar President and CEO Henry Gerkens said he his proud to have such
