Best team company?

[kbraut832]

Looking for the best team company as well. No LTL, looking mostly for expedited, air freight, or reefer. Need top miles and top pay ( don't we all want that?). I am in Texas on the North side of Houston. I have 22 yrs experience, partner has 15.

Negotiate....Go see some companies and tell them what its going to take to land you. Than get it in writing.

What about LandSpan? They're in TX and friends of ours drove for them (they got a government contract which paid better is why they left) and they loved them, said they got great miles etc. Did you look into them?

Landspan is a really good team company

You said no LTL, but if you want top miles and top pay you really might want to reconsider. Plus it is all drop/hook.I run team for LTL, just got in this am with 7200 miles for the truck and $.54/mile. that was for 6 days.

Some of the best team driving from a compemsation perspective is in LTL land. The equipment at some companies can be junky, but you can earn $65-90k plus.

The team drivers at my current employer (YRC Logistics) are grossing $1300-1500 per week running Mon evening through Sat Morning.

Even if you hire on to a non-LTL company like LandSpan as a team you are going to pull some LTL freight. Drive by any larger Con-Way or FedEx Freight barn and you will see OTR 53's being loaded for the longer hauls between regional break bulks. Pre-Buyout Con-Way was CFIs biggest customer. The joke was that it stood for "Con-Way Freight Inside".

When I worked at Con-Way we loaded 3 OTRs per night out of Reno going east; Two Werners and a CRST.

Which company is that? Do they hire out of Texas? Owner Operator possibilities?
