Not necessary, but it is nice to have.
Most bigger companies like Landstar and such don't want agents without drivers. It takes drivers to really add revenue. Otherwise, all you are doing as an agent is watering down everyone's revenue by spreading more freight among the same number of trucks. True brokerage is a bit different though. Agents have it better than brokers as a rule.

We put Landstar on the "Forever Hold" line
We don't load those guys.
I'm not saying we don't have regulars, but those guys are really hard to find. About 35%-40% of our loads are taken by regulars in my department, now my other co-workers have much higher %'s.
But I mostly work Dry Van/Reefers so it's a little different on my end because I do a different market
