Husband and wife team starting with R&L Carriers

Are trucks still running 73? Tired of being bored at 65. Will do my a proper research before I move on again. Will try not to take anything under 70mph if it can be helped.

 

Hubby and I are teaming at R+L. Our run pays $409 each way. Farmington MN to Crawfordsville IN. More if we go further. We’re grossing over $2000 each weekly.

 

Awesome. Might look into them for the near future. I want to do more research on the rest. Do you know of you guys are the fastest? Do you get passed by FedEx? Or Estes? Or ABF?

 

Great to hear. Thanks for the info. I'm not going to base my decision on top speed alone but it does really get old fast and frankly unsafe and stressful quite often being lumped together in the 64-65mph crowd. As someone who likes to run and drive as many miles as I can possibly (legally and safely) run, it will really be very enjoyable to be able to go 70+

I did 660 miles today in 10:50 with a 65mph truck. I'll be teaming with my wife soon and maybe when she gets her year (I'll have a little over 5 years exp at that point) we'll probably be looking for an ltl job where we can make the most amount of money for our efforts in the industry.

I'd like for her to get comfortable first before we gotta run 6500+ miles a week. Dont want to overwhelm her.

Thanks for your replies. I'll keep an eye on the thread for updates and what not.

 

Me and My wife are team driving now, is there a bed mattress you can recommend for softening the bumps to aid in sleeping while the trucks in motion. Thanks

 

In salt lake they had a billboard for a minute with a 2k dollar a week guarantee for team drivers ( each ). I ran Wamsutter turns for R and L as a solo for a month . Nice folks but dispatch was ate up . Gate Times were always 3 hours late . They never paid me to wait . My fuel badge at the yard hardly ever worked and the dispatch had to pull a beat up Comdata card out of a filing cabinet every time I couldn’t fuel there . Had to wash my own truck and build my own sets when the yard dog was too lazy and the pay was kind of low at 239 a turn . The truck was ok , a newer Pete . Monday thru Friday night was nice though , 8 hour shift
