    From job add
    "You may drive in team, running Triangle on any of the 3 weekly departures."

    A to B to C to A. Lane running... but that's just a guess.

    Right guess Some triangles are good some not so good but most are setup to put you in high freight areas to keep the wheels turning

    Example: Chicago-Miami-NYC-Chicago. Makes a rough triangle on the map.

    Ideally, they may also be setup to where the route can be done in, say 11 days with 3 off then do it again beginning and ending same day of week, same location, for home planning and scheduling ease.

    You guys are most likely right, seeing as how they're looking for Team's specifically.
    But I remember years ago when Hirshbauch were still headquartered in the Sioux City area, they used to use a "Triangle" to describe the area a driver could expect to run WITHIN.

    That's acute play on words.
