Like to hear from any US Express teams, wondering if the miles and money are there?

Are you guys saying mast is a joke? They pay up to 65 cpm team if they start at 60 so what that's good money making 1500 a week guaranteed and guess what 4 weeks PAID vacation!! That an entire month I can sit in hawaii. Anyone know of any better team companies??? Besides old dominion?

Are you saying your they pay .65/mile which is split 2 ways? So, if you travel 5k (2500/each), each driver grosses $1,650?

What's the going rate for experienced drivers going solo?

Plus isn't Team Driving 'Expedited Freight?'

Aside from ODFL I think R&L treats their teams pretty good. And they have property in Pigeon Forge TN and I think Arizona or Florida or something, maybe both, that you can vacation at. I teamed with Estes for a bit, money was ok but nothing more than you’d bring home runnin solo with them. No sign on bonus or anything but the benefits were right. Plus paid holidays off is cool, and they only keep you out a week unless you tell them you want to stay running. Screwin with sets tho can be kind of annoying especially if you’re trying to sleep while your co-driver is hookin em but whatever. If you’re dead set on teaming it’s hard to beat the culture of LTL. UPS Freight I think is rolling at almost $1.50 a mile to the truck so that’s what, 74 or something cents per driver for every mile? That’s not too shabby. If that pay was a chick I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers!

Drop and hook,...yeah, can be hard to sleep through that (i would imagine).

When you see an advertised salary, 99% of the time that is what the highest paid driver either made last year or could potentially make this year under precisely perfect circumstances.

You will definitely make more money teaming than you will solo. That’s for a reason. Teaming is insane. Gogogogo. It isn’t for everyone. I don’t recommend it. That said, I made about 7k per month doing it at the bottomest of the bottom feeders.

Sounds like it Red.

I talked to one Mask today and she said, you barely got time to p###. She also said, it was 90% drop and hook, so you'll definitely be hearing some noise while in your bunk.

Takes a special person to do OTR, and even more so to do Team.
