There are some 500-600 runs in the system that would go a bit quicker as one 10-11 hr trip rather than 2X 5hr linehaul runs, with a 2-3 hour delay in the middle to break and make sets. Sacramento CA to Salt Lake City UT for example.
I also suspect that a Volvo with a 53' gets better mileage than a Sterling pulling a pair of 29's.
Replacing contract trailers with out own in house teams makes sense.
That being said as a CWX driver I'm carefully watching this, as it could be a underhanded way to outsource some of the better linehaul runs. I don't want to put up with all the low seniority BS only to find that they have moved to goalposts on me.
