    They have Solo as well. I checked on them. But as you stated they like teams. Teams run 5-10 days our solo run 3-5 days. Better money with team as you would expect but if I dont have a partner that I know and trust I wont do team. They offer to "hook you up" with a partner. But NAA

    I understand your point but teaming isn't all that bad sometimes only thing is if you can choose your own teammate if you can.If I needed a teammate I try to get to know them a little bit like do they smoke,what kind of music they like,etc etc etc.

    My biggest fear is being able to trust my life with another person driving an 80,000 lb rig with me sleeping. Huge risk if you dont know the driver or there skill level is not competent.

    Armellini has 1st seat drivers that pick who their teammate will be. From what I got from talking to them it takes awhile to get to the point where you can pick your own co-driver. Also, they train with 3 in the truck.

    I looked into them when me and a co-driver wanted to move to another company. We were looking at Armellini because he would have gotten the hometime he wanted. They would not put us, a successful team, into a truck together right off the bat.
     
    Dcarter Thanks this.
