Somewhat confused about Freight lanes
Want to start out by saying this is a great site! Thank you Brett and all the moderators, experienced drivers and rookies for your input and commitment! You all are second to none!
While reading the various blogs on this site - it was mentioned to choose a company that have 'freight lanes' going through your hometown as a way of determining if you can be easily routed home for 'hometime' or something to that effect. I live near two (2) Interstates and see trucks from the larger companies (Werner, Swift, KLLM, Knight, etc) constantly.
My question: Are these considered freight lanes or do the companies actually have to have freight delivered to a specific locale?
Thank you and keep it safe out there.
