    So, I'm done with my CRST contract, my brother is almost done with his, and we are looking to jump to another team company that pays better with work. Any idea where to start? Been thinking transport America. Maybe heartland express.

    Also is there such a thing as team flatbed?

    Best team outfit is Quest Global. Strictly team and built for teams who run hard when they are out

    IMO you won't be very productive as a flatbed team. Reefer or long haul LTL is the only way to go

    Grats on toughing it out.
    You two will do great. ANYWHERE is better than CRST. Your gonna be blown away at how much better things are. I mean don't go to another mega, but anywhere is better than CRST, teams are in high demand you'll have no problems, except where to put all the CASH.

    Thanks guys! Yea I like long haul stuff. We cover about 1250 a day in a 65mph governed truck. Even better if it's somewhere rural and the timings right. I usually do about 675 a day he does close to 640. I can't lie, I do get just about anything I want from these guys. But I always enjoy progress!

    I thought the flatbed might be good because we could tarp everything and secure the loads significantly faster. Maybe resulting in more money? But I know very little about flatbed.

    Any other suggestions?

    We don't have hazmat or doubles, we were considering hazmat, but we can't get the time off to get it!
