Team Driver Companies
Any companies geared toward team drivers? My wife and I graduate in a few weeks and would like to find such a company. Any recommendations? Thanks

Covenant, US Xpress and CRST are a few. I have heard good and bad about each of them. You may want to do a search. We have discussed a number of carriers. Good luck.

Landspan/Landstar
Don't confuse the two. Landstar, in Jacksonville, contracts with O/Os as BCOs (business capacity owners). Landspan is out of Lakeland, (central) Florida specializing in JIT freight. BOL

I run on a team with my father, we get over 13,000 miles every 2 weeks here at CFI. CFI takes GREAT care of us. We stay out for 6 weeks at a time. None of our trips have been less than 1,000 miles. Teams get priority frieght assignments over solo company drivers.
Its a whole different world here at CFI.

Check out Old Dominion. We do a lot of team driving and there are two terminals in the Atlanta area.
