    Why not post this in the USX thread? I'm sure you would get a lot of feedback there. I haven't worked there since 2004 but they have always been a great company for teams. From everything I've read in the last 2 months, it sounds like they are still a good place for teams. Go to the USX thread, there's plenty of info there. Good luck.

    Pottles, Hartt, RF Chanberland, Albert Farms, TT Dunphy TMK, TNT, Smith's out of Blaine... that's about it for large to small. Maybe check w/ Dysartts or have Dysarts put a flyer up for you by the fuel desk as I'm sure there are small outfits that might be interested and you know how we Maine types like to hire our own. Also, if you're from maine and have been around trucking awhile then all those names should have been thought of unless you have burnt alot of bridges up there and if thats the case i would t look further north then Mass. A few companies in Vermont but I can't think of names at the moment (RL Johnson, unfi, gypsum express but I doubt any of them But why not check)

    Remember teams that have experience running as such are kind of a premium. Lots of teams on the road but 95% are random strangers put together at a training company... Not exactly the combined 20 years you two bring to the table.

    I know that USX teams drive up to the Walmart food DC up in maine. Read about the USX teams in many threads about it. Good luck.

    Chk on Conway Truckload, You will get Coast to Coast runs expected overnight by 3 P.M. on the west coast... By the way @68 MPH!!!!

    No not really they will give you a few more hours to stop and fuel. They do run the teams hard.
