    Hey I am considering team driving, can i get some feedback on what company would be best for and i heard that either fedex and ups were good to work for if you did teams. I will have my own truck and all but any kind of feedback will be greatly apprciated what to look out for and anything that i will run into beside dealing with my partner. thank

    Also what is the anual income if we ran possibly coast to coast?

    First you need to figure out what kind of trucking you like the most(flat, van, reefer, OD, tanker, etc). Then figure out what combination of income, running area, and stress level will work for you. Then go make it happen.

    Kennesaw is a good team company that runs coast to coast mostly. They are out of Ga. FedEx is also a pretty good option. Long as you don't mind pulling tandems.

    Kennesaw, Quest Global are both out of Georgia, they turn a lot of miles and both have good equipment. It seems as if you're new out here. Start with that than after you get some exp. behind you get on with an LTL company. A lot more money there
