    I have been asking these two questions and Can't seem to get a solid answer. A few well respected solo drivers have told me what they think, but are not 100% sure (because they drive solo). In the case there are no team drivers on the W/S forum, If you know a team or two I sure would like their input please.

    1) Do teams run terminal to terminal or to customers?

    2) If both, about What % of each?


    Thanks

    Teams run a mix of things unless you can get onto a dedicated acct.

    You'll run both depending on company needs. Leaving Dalton (coming off hometime, etc.) 90% sure you'll be pulling a carpet load. From there whatever the company needs. I don't know of any teams that post here or any personally.

    The people I rent from in Missoula are a husband wife team. They just do the same run every week all terminal to terminal. They have been there 24+- years and have run the same route for most of that. Other teams I know there don't really have a set run, but do a lot of cross country terminal to terminal loads.

    You'll be all over the place as a new team. Just wont be doing as much furniture store offloading as you would if solo.
