Who we are

A Landstar BCO that runs its own truck

JAKATO Transportation, LLC is an owner-operated Business Capacity Owner with Landstar. We pull Landstar-owned dry vans and client-owned trailers (TOWY), including high-value and sealed freight. Coverage is the Lower 48 except California — we do not run in or out of CA. No quote desk. No call center. The truck you see is the truck that shows up.

Jacob Johnston “Jake” and Anthony Medina “Kato” own it and run it. Team operation. We keep the van clean, the load locked down, and dispatch on a number that rings the truck. Agents already working us know that. This page is so the next one can see it before they call.

How we haul

A load that stays put

High-value and sealed freight is the work. Landstar vans get swept between loads. Client trailers get treated like they are ours. Securement is FMCSA-rated ratchet straps, sized to the freight. Every load gets a high-security Abloy L-series Enforcer and padlocks. We do not name shippers or receivers. Every load is treated as classified.
