Driving for a Racing team anyone have this experience ?

What’s the pay on a job like that? It’s interesting since you would be working two jobs folded into one.

Just hoping it’s at least 110k a year guaranteed.

 

Yeah their $$ is pretty depressed, I've had some one trip offers and was surprised how low they were.

 

It doesn't pay much at all. I checked into it once and the pay is a joke.

 

But the clock is ticking and once the 14 runs out... he can't drive without the 10-hour break. Did that in the oilfield all the time... I could drive until the 11 or 14 was up, and then I would be stuck working a pad until a relief driver showed up in a car/pickup/suv to swap out with me.



As for race hauler pay? I have a buddy who has done it in the past, he enjoyed it, but the pay was horrible. An opening presented itself in early 2015 and he asked me if I wanted to do it... he'd get me the "in." I asked the details, and at that time it was 1099, all expenses paid, $900/wk salary, and once at the track, you got the rental car, did the shopping, and then fired up the grill. You were the cook and maid the entire time, and then couldn't watch the race, as you would be in the sleeper trying to get some sleep, help load up after the race, and haul butt out of there toward the shop and/or the next destination.

I politely declined.

 

Getting a trial period to see if you and them fit with each other is nice.

It's not something very many people get to experience.
I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Good Luck!
COTA has nicer garages Lol.

 

I did Indycar for 5 years with Chevy Racing , it's a lot of work not counting the wax on wax off.
I'm not going to say the hours involved I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
You better be able to drive , try parking 35 trucks inches apart.
They paid me salary at 1750 a week with a American Express that paid for everything , hotels stay anywhere you want , meals , washes , flights truck supplys like coffee snacks soda water my trailer had a full galley , lista cabinets with every snap on tool made which they got for free , its a big show not for the timid or lazy folks , and i stress again you better be able to drive and learn how to operate and service your trailer , probably a Featherlite , stop by there website now and start learning, www.fthr.com.
Shoot me a message if you want I'm retired oh btw they called us drivers a Truckee.
Good Luck
