    Did they offered you to have pets on the truck? Or is it allowed for teams to have at least 1 pet?

    As far as I know they do not allow any pets in any trucks. I did take my puppy with me a hand full of times when she was younger on some Saturday night out and back runs when there wasn’t anyone else really working. She is the goodest girl.

    Man no pets not even a cat? Theres no exceptions at all. I remember when i first started trucking 4yrs ago lots of companies weren't allowing pets. Then the past 2 yrs seems most allow pets now thats why this is a shocker to me.. they try to get drivers however possible. Not even if i team drive with my wife? Do they put fridge in the new trucks ive heard mixed some people say yes some say no? Do they come with inverters? How does the hotel arrangement work for teams solo driver said teams can sleep in hotels is this for resets?

    Solo driver also told me he made 144k gross last year and is on par to make the same this year running one 6th day a month every month? Can teams gross 140-150k each driver running the same as he did solo?

    What do the trucks come with for teams the newer trucks? If you run wild or i assume what you call extra board how are they about hometime if you need an extra day off are they strict?

    How fast are the team trucks? Do they have navigation in them?

    Is freight good out of Georgia? i live near Atlanta. Is the south a good region for freight?

    No cats either, No company fridge, no navigation, trucks run 67. RL carriers has all of this though and they allow a pet, maybe you should check them out instead. Atlanta is ok with freight but it’s deathly slow right now all over so it’s hard to say about the money right now.

    Yeah its definitely slow thats for sure.. i just hear so many good things about estes all the time.. they always pass me up at 70mph.. idk why people hate on rl carriers. Most people tell me they were good for teaming just not so much solo..
