    Then if that's where you want to be, the shortest distance is a straight line.

    Is the 4 days out and 3 off a sure thing ? Every week ? Like a dedicated run?

    I've heard of UPS having team linehaul runs like that,but UPS wouldn't be considered private fleet would it?.

    My guess is food service teaming with Dunkin donuts or one of the pizza chains.
