match up people who want to team?

Hi, I am a newbee. I will be going to school late october at JTL in Omaha, and probably work for Werner Trucking Company, which is okay by me. I looked at the pay that Teams get, and was wondering if there is a matching service for teams. I have very little in the way of property, and might like to make some good money as a team driver for a while. Can someone direct me to a place where I might find a fellow trucker who wants to drive as a team for a while? Thanks. Gita

Not sure if there is a team matching service. If you are a female. I did see a couple of females on this forum looking for a team mate. I will look around for the posts and paste the thread in here.

Many drivers consider team pay only acceptable for husband and wife teams . Team drivers do NOT make twice as much as solo drivers on a truck . Then you have the issue of home time for drivers in different households . Think about drivers with 2 families and how time is taken of for birthdays , holidays , etc . The new HOS causes problems for a lot of drivers . You are required to take 8 CONSECUTIVE hours in the sleeper berth . Any time spent in the truck is either on duty not driving , driving , or sleeper berth . If you are in the passenger seat you are on duty . Many teams split the shift 10 hours on , 10 hours off (at least that's how they log) . Just know what you are getting into .
