Yes, there are some agents who run their own trucks. I believe the process is about the same for both: You have to apply. I do know that the agents have to go through some classes within Landstar prior to being approved.

2) Would owning a curtain-side give an o/o the flexibilty of pulling dry van as well as decks, when one is signed on with Landstar ?

The answer is
maybe. Curtainside trailers allow you to haul
some van freight, and [/b]some[/b] flatbed freight.

3) Do their loads to Canada pay well ? If one were to be signed on with them, which places in the US would have the most outbound and inbound loads to / from Canada ?

It all depends upon the agent, the area of the country, the type of equipment, the load itself, etc. etc. etc. I've seen some nice paying dry van freight heading to Canada from the upper midwest and northeast, but I've also seen some lousy rates.
