Pros

Good tire and fuel discounts. Only pros there.

Cons

Landstar would rather broker out the freight than put it on their own owner operators . You're nothing more than a truck number. The majority of agents are useless and have no idea what's it takes to move their load and couldn't care less. There's no company trucks but there is plenty of agent owned fleets and those are the trucks that get loaded. The majority of the thousands of loads they speak of are off the broker boards that nobody else wants. The good loads don't even make it to the board. Their idea of a safety bonus is a 35cent can coozy. More concerned with the executive golf outings than taking care of bcos.
