    Because only teams can make up the slack after the shippers make the truck sit for so long just picking up the load...

    Or get hollered at (were the H you at) for 3 days solo from some shady produce broker when you can get your co driver to drive and share the abuse.

    Yea especially if you can't off load then reload an keep rolling. If your sitting till the following morning for all that then it's pretty much a wasted day.
