Hello truckduo. Doing fine here. Just fueled at Flying J in North Platte, Neb. On our way to Patterson, Calif. getting a little tired of teaming but, can't beat the $$$$. Maybe we'll meet up some day. Take care you two.
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
I'm looking into team driving as a wannabe truck driver. I'm also a veteran that separated just 2 years ago. Can someone confirm or correct my projections for team pay?
On their site:
Avg 5000 miles (# on their site) = 22 CPM * 5000 = $1,100 Weekly (per driver)
+ monthly mileage bonus reqs met = 11 CPM per driver * 20,000 miles a month = potential $2,200 bonus monthly
+ 5 CPM bonus for 45+ days out/2 drivers = 2.5 CPM per driver * 30,000 miles = $750
= Potential of $1,100 weekly CPM + $2,200 monthly mileage bonus + (about $500 monthly 45+ day bonus) = $7,100 monthly for ONE driver (according to their average 5,000 miles per week)
Please tell me I'm doing my math incorrectly. That's a lot of money! lol -
I would say you are a little high in your analysis. Realistically you can expect to make 1k-1500 as a team. More that that is tricky right out of the box. An experienced Haz-Mat team will do better of course. Can you make more than that? Sure, but if you don't expect miracles you wont be disappointed when they don't materialize. Hell Im a trainer and I don't make that much. 6kish a month give or take. -
It's easy to clear a grand a week teaming. DON'T ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO GET THAT MILEAGE BONUS OFTEN, IF EVER. Driving 20K miles in a month as a team isn't that hard. Being dispatched 20K miles in a month..? I don't hear many team drivers bragging about their 22cpm bonus on here. Can't recall one actually. Still, it's good money without the bonus, and you can go for it. As for the 45 day bonus. Well, staying out 45 days isn't as easy as it sounds, lol. That 20K bonus is going to be significantly harder to get on any month you take hometime too.
