Why is so difficult. .

Puzzling. You must be holding something back.

 

Because tank work is usually regional at best and not set up for teams. Many chemical shippers won't let someone stay in the truck while loading or blowing off so your teammate wouldn't get a true break.

Running how you describe is more suited for refer, really the only true OTR left today.

 

Sadly the whole transportation model is changing because there are fewer drivers that want true OTR life. So the shippers are building more distribution points that allow for shorter runs and putting long hauls on the trains.

Look at the oil patch -base oil, sand and everything else is loaded on trains in LA or TX and railed to PA, ND, AK rather than trucked.

True OTR is coming to an end as the next generation of drivers barely want to do the final mile deliveries. Sad but true.

Good luck in your search.

 

Trimac Transportation hires teams to run coast to coast & border to border & Canada!
Not too long ago they hired a team right out of cdl school for that.

 

The final mile could take 3 hours if you are in Atlanta. Someday there will be routing around cities and dropdocks. You leave it there and some electric truck will haul it in. Works for me.
