First thing I would do is ask if they have any need for a team on that account that your friend is working. You never know - I am on a dedicated account that has had no teams, and recently the customer requested that we put a team on one of their particularly demanding customer's runs.

Hi all! I have a question in regards to teaming. I have spoken with my dispatcher about moving over to the team side and have been allowed to make the change. However, the person that I want to team with has not been released. They're on an different account than I am and as I understand, our company does not want to lose drivers from this account. We are anxious to get underway with teaming. Would anyone be able to offer any advice/steps to follow/folks at our company to talk to, to help us have any impact in moving this along? Thank you in advance for any and all advice!! Safe travels to all!!!!!
