<p>[QUOTE="Radman, post: 3207123, member: 64002"]You can make more as a company driver team then solo. Reason is if your with the right company teams get more of the straight thru runs then a solo which will bounce around which leads to more sitting and waiting. Alot of good companies put Teams prioty over solo when sitting. A company I ran with which hauled spealizes stuff I made more money teaming then solo. I'd run coast to coast every week no stops in between. We start on mon morning wait 8 hrs for load, then run to the east drop trailer wait 8hrs for them to load and unload while getting wait time then run back to the west drop trailer get there Sat night wait til mon and start again. Took about 5.5 days gross 1800 per week with a 65mph truck. Solo it take me 7 days and SOMETIMES id make 1500 a week. Team seems like less work, solo you got to load and reload couple times a week unless your getting lucky with miles per load. Which most companies give the teams the long runs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
