Here's how I looked at running teams as a new hire.
Pros:
Steady work
Good truck ( we got mostly 14's or newer in DLS )
Very good chance at holding a bid run.
If your partner takes a day or two off they still keep you busy.
The run I was on had plenty of time for breaks, showers, etc.
Pretty good $$$$, 90k on bottom bids easily
2 days off each week. Most runs I think get Sun & Mon off ( this does vary )
Cons:
Gone 5 full days
You really need a great partner.
Learning how to live in a truck ( that rarely stops )
