    I've been looking at these two companies as we are a spousal team. I'm trying to understand if they are different companies or not. Seems like they have the same logos but one has a significantly higher weekly guarantee. If they are different companies,

    Well - you’re welcome. Let us know how TSMT works out for you , and spend some time to review and give back to others following your particular journey.

    Best of luck, Blair.

    Whoa, I'd be careful with that. Didn't Tri-State haul all the nasty stuff, like nuclear waste? :confused:

    Tri state has always had a good reputation.But I don’t know a lot about them anymore. They didn’t haul nuclear waste as far as I know they hauled a lot of DoD stuff like ammunition always had a good reputation again for teams.
