    Is there much call for flatbed teams? Usually when I see a flatbedder they are usually solo.

    That's because their team partner is in the rack sleeping.

    From what Ive seen n heard most flatbed freight is solo. Unless you count the 2 team runs I did... 2200+ miles each ASAP

    Well most trucks I see hauling flatbed are mid roof or flat top. Unless you are real friendly with your co driver having a break at the same time could be uncomfortable hehe.

    Then again, it could be very cozy during a layover!

    Teaming could be done (I have seen a few loads). I guess but you have to keep in mind that most customers are a 7am to 4 pm, Mon thru Fri type of operation.

    The Company I work for does hire teams. Not sure on the number of team trucks they have. I do know a few are O/O.
