If and when you decide to get your own authority, there's no reason not to stay as a team. You would still make more as a team than as a solo. It's just that, in general, the difference between leased and independent is much greater for a solo than a team. You won't have any problem leasing to a company like CFI. They love teams and they really love O/O teams. They make those companies a lot of money.

Speaking of leasing on, what is about an average cpm rate, and is there a difference between solo and team leasing rates?

If it's a cents per mile carrier, most pay between $.90-1.05 plus fuel surcharge. There are specialized companies that will pay more and then you have the percentage carriers who are all over the place. I believe CFI, along with most all of the large van or reefer companies, pay around $.90-.92/mile.
Take a look at the recruiting ads on this site and it will give you an idea of what to expect.
