    My boyfriend and I are going back over the road teaming. We are both experienced drivers and have teamed together before. We've been sifting through TTR for info on some of the companies we're considering but they don't have any recent feedback. Any teams out there driving for the following companies?

    Interstate
    Transport America
    Navajo Express
    Panther Logistics

    Any input you can offer regarding your general experience with the company, avg miles per week, the usual trucker concerns would be greatly appreciated! If you're reading this and work for a different company your feedback on your experience there would be most welcome.

    R&L Carriers hires teams. $70k+/each of you starting out. Our newer team trucks come with Boss seats, fridge, APU, Sleep Number bed. Trucks top speed is 70-75mph and their automatics. Company allows pets and they don't charge a pet fee.

    The run we do is Chicago to Nashville and back. That's about a 1,000 miles a day. When we get back to Chicago we typically have 3-5 hours of downtime. That's enough time to sleep, get groceries or go home and check up on things.

    Another team on here with R&L does a run that once they reach top pay will pay them $90k+/each.

    Here's the link to his thread:

    Wife and I got our start at US Xpress. Was there for 2 years and loved it. The way to make money there is to get on a dedicated account.

    Glad to hear you had a good experience at USX. We worked for them and had a terrible experience. Mostly a really bad FM. We're trying to stay away from the CDL mills (i know, TA is one too).
