"Second Seat" How does this work?

Typically, with team driving you get paid for all of the miles the truck moves. Since the truck moves while you are sleeping or sitting in the passenger seat you are still getting mileage pay. You have to be someone who can sleep while the truck is moving and have a great deal of confidence in your team driver to be able to do this! Either way 13 cents is a little low. I would think it should be more like 18 to 20 cents.

 

Hey OP, I know you haven’t been seen since 2009, but you asked for wisdom.

1. Never lease purchase from a company that has filed bankruptcy.
2. Don’t put diesel exhaust fluid in your fuel tanks.
3. Never run team with a driver who has irritable bowel syndrome.
4. Never get a roller dog from behind the arrow that says “still cooking”.
5. Not trucking related, but never play leapfrog with a unicorn.


@snowman_w900, help me out here.

 

"Second seat" refers to a rookie driver who is team driving with an experienced driver from the company. So say you get your CDL but have no real world driving experience. Some mega hires you, and teams you up with a trainer who has a couple years of experience. You are a "second seat" driver. Which basically means you are in the probationary or training phase. Usually you have to safely complete X amount of miles before you can upgrade out of probation and make more money.

 

Jesus @shogun how do you find these obtusely ancient threads to resurrect?

 

Lol... English wasn't my strong suit in school... I was more a numbers person myself... Maybe thats why I've spent the better part of my life making a living with my hands... Cowboying, wrenching, welding and metal fabricating, trucking, farming, ect.

 

I had to look it up.

I thought it had to do with a difficult bowel movement.

 

LOL!!!... Dont make me laugh so hard. I have WAY to much money in electronics across my dash to be blowing coffee all over them!
