    For the most part they do--w/local p/d folks making drops and linehaul(road drivers)moving freight area to area.......
    Although many of the LTL Majors--do you what they call sleeper teams--BUT--this is also almost exclusively on the linehaul(terminal to terminal)side
    But there are many of us who do otr ltl--but THAT is an entirely different ballgame--and is primarily specialty work OR direct manufacturer work...
    My average week is 3500miles and 15 stops--just finished a vacation week(for us)1700 miles and 18 stops-4days--LOL....
    Oh yeah--and I do it in 300"wb--379 w/a 53'spread reefer---9 stops alone this week in Atlanta metro...but what we do is probably less than 3%of the overall trucking world...
    NOT for everybody.....
