Linehaul, such as with Old Dominion, you pull a set of doubles. Usually the yard man has the set of doubles ready to go, but you may at times have to help. Pull the set of doubles, for example, from Hartford,CT to Salt Lake City,UT then unhook and re-hook to another set of doubles that's waiting for you and back to Hartford,CT.
General freight, Abilene Motor Express is good because most of their freight is drop & hook. Keep in mind, I said MOST of the freight is drop & hook, which means at times there will be live load/unload. They pull dry van and reefers and run coast to coast. It's also 100% driver no-touch freight.
Most decent companies are driver no-touch freight these days. Freymiller is also.
You should consider picking a company and getting started now, then when your brother joins you, maybe you can be his trainier or at least team up sooner.

If Old Dominion isn't hiring in your area, try some others such as Estes and whoever else is in the area.
I personally like pulling reefers and flatbeds running coast to coast. Linehaul is a great career though is you can deal with the routine, but the money is good.John Dewart Thanks this. -
