Thanks for the advice, wife and I run a tight team schedule so we should be good on that, the doubles thing is what worries me the most so the second bit is much appreciated.

R&L is a good company. The teams do make good money. Doubles are easy. A lot of terminals pre string them for the line haul guys. Stringing them by yourself is not hard and with a team it is very easy. Most team trucks are governed at 74, solos at 68. Almost all auto shift. Resorts are nice perk but Daytona and Pigeon Forge are just remodeled motels. Ocean isles in The Carolinas is supposed to be really nice. They don’t exclusively do doubles, there are a fair number of vans, 48’ and 53’. Insurance is middle of the road, 401k is 50% match on first 6% if I recall. They do have dedicated bids and some teams run wild. Terminals are spotty, some nice, some not so much. Lots of new equipment. Runs are terminal to terminal or meet and swap. Maintenance is generally pretty good.

Just in case you haven't seen this:
Apparently they have recently left R & L.
Don't follow them, but gist of it seems to be wanting a change, nothing specific to do with the company.RussianBearTruckeR and Cerberus XVI Thank this. -

R&L doesn’t run driver facing cams unless there are safety issues that lead up to it being turned on. Lens is physically blocked.
