Do you think if two separate carriers came together (not consolidating business – keeping full authorities) and just using the equipment as a team, could make as much or more as both operators alone?
If one person has a refer and the other a flatbed, they could team haul whatever was hot at the moment. Shoot, you could even pull in a third O/O with a van and have the trifecta…
I’ve been thinking about bringing on a team driver but got to thinking if that driver was also an O/O, we would be more likely to be on the same page with trip planning, maintenance, booking loads, etc…I guess you could teach that to the right driver?
Anyways, have any of you had success bringing in a team driver or is that something you’d never do?
