Pros

Corporate recognition, Large network of carriers / owner-operator network is decent

Cons

Corporate interjection of accounts to agencies of favor. Unless you have national accounts you can bring in you will NOT survive as Landstar removes accounts from even long-standing, solid foundation agencies. They have a nonexistent CRM, archaic web-based agent tool.
