    Do you have to run team? I picked up an application at school and they want you sign an agreement that you will run team for a minimum of 6 months. They only team I want in my truck after training is the "me myself and I team"

    In most locations you do not have to run team. I know lots of new drivers running solo.

    Tn, I have a good friend I talk to daily that is having the absolutely worst experiences with them from terrible routing, mean dispatchers and using the elog...Of course, your experience could vary...

    I was told the same thing and I live in SC which wasn't mentioned before as one of the states that they required teaming. Disappointing. I would have jumped at them it it wasn't for that.
