    Hey all,
    Got my CDL and 6 months exp, driving local delivery route in downtown of a major PNW city.... looking to go team or OTR for more money... auto restriction because that's the truck they put me in. Single, ok for 2-3 weeks away from home.
    Any suggestions for next step? Lease? Owner Operator? Tractor? Where to team up? I'm not sure about the next step, but ready to travel the highways.
    Thanks in advance.

    This company has a terminal in Portland and can run teams or solo.
    Try to get on the "plasma" account for the best pay.

    FFE has a terminal in Portland, Oregon. You can run solo or team. I run linehaul (terminal to terminal) OTR with my husband.

    @TravR1 runs team on the Plasma account OTR. Plasma pay a lot more, but is more demanding.
