  Transport of intracellular cargo is often mediated by teams of molecular
motors that function in a chaotic environment under varying conditions. We show
that the motors have unique steady state behavior which enables transport
modalities that are robust. Under reduced ATP concentrations, multi-motor
configurations are preferred over single motors. Higher load force drives
motors to cluster, but very high loads compel them to separate in a manner that
promotes immediate cargo movement once the load subsides. These inferences,
backed by analytical guarantees, provide unique insights into the coordination
strategies adopted by molecular motors to transport intracellular cargo.
