    Team out of Eastern NC

    Just a quick Hello Nighshift is my "better" half :) We've looked at Expediting off an on since before I decided to drive. He's been driving for 3 1/2 years and we've been a team for about 1 1/2 years. We've only been with one company and they've treated us excellently, but they are not a...

    Going from an 18 wheeler to a 6 wheeler.

    Welcome! :7 Hubby (Nightshift) and I are in similar circumstances. He's an OTR Company driver now, and I am starting class May 3. We are planning on teaming as well, but not the truck purchase yet. Question for the "experienced ones here" :7 Should we contact companies or O/O first...

    Nightshift is OTR right now, and while he's been out he's been looking for expeditiers to talk to. Here's the question he asks... Where the heck are you guys? :7 He said he very rarely sees expediters at truckstops or rest areas, so where do you guys "layover" at?
