    @Chinatown may have asked this in past if so don't mean to be repetitive maybe someone else is looking for this as well... any dry, Reefer or even food grade tanker that's does strictly drop n hook with preloaded trailers waiting lanes? I know ltl offers this with doubles/triples endorsements and graveyard runs / bids but wondering if there's regular 53 or 48 that run usa like this? 3 years safe otr (Reefer) central FL but eventually TN near major 4 cities somewhere... have tanker can get hazmat again if needed... otr is flawed with all the time drivers give up unpaid unless it were run drop n hook with preloaded trailers ready to go to stay rolling and earning...

    You need to check with some mail contractors about doing a relay.

    drop & hook is flawed when drivers drop trailers with mechanical issues that you have to spend time fixing and babysitting.

    Not to mention when yard spotters don’t release the brakes and flat spot the tires.
