    No worries its more info then I was expecting. Thank you
    I assume you just agree to run what ever they send for the whole week? Or do you agree for like a month?

    I'm not 100% but I believe its based out of a terminal location and the solo one are loads that let you get home every night and greater 600 a day. Solo 2 is otr folks that have a sleeper and can run out all week for 1500 a day and team of course is team and pay at 24k a week or about 3500 a day. Or 1750 a day per driver.
    I may be wrong on some points but I believe its fairly close to how it works.

    The best I can explain it is, I believe the solos are daily rates, and the team is weekly. Solo 1 is within certain mile radius and solo 2 is further out. I dont remember or have other details. My husband handled this. When we did team we started in Col OH, and ran usually out to KY, PA, MD, NJ and back.

    Team really isn't that much more per driver for most terminals. But as an owner I could pay a person 2k a week and still come out pretty well on that.

    Heck yea! I never thought of it that way, because it all went to our 1 household. But yes, very good deal.
