    Of the private fleets mentioned, are there any at which the driver rarely unloads?

    Northstar is 100% driver unload. It’s not hard. I don’t see the issue with having to unload. Go pull a van if you are too lazy to unload

    Yeah, Thatcher was 100% driver unload as well. That's usually part of the package of being a private carrier. Not only is the customer paying for the product, they are also paying for a full delivery.
     
    speedyk and Rugerfan Thank this.

    I hope you're not implying I'm lazy for asking. I'm just looking to quantify risk vs reward.
