    Heya all, i have been reading up on all i can to make sure we make the right choice..My wife again is thinking about teaming..

    I am just wondering how real these examples of income monthly are or if they are close to it

    Say we go with Interstate.. they pay starting teams .41cpm.. and they pay practical not HHG..

    so say we drive 3k miles a week.. ( this is low for a team so i hear but lets start here to get the whole picture )

    3000x.41= 1230 combined... x 4weeks in a month = 4920 Gross...

    5000x.41= 2050 combined....x4weeks in a month = 8200 gross...

    and just "IF" 7000x.41= 2870 combined....x4weeks in a month = 11480 gross..


    Now i know there will be down weeks and ups.. and so on and so forth.. but are these #'s close to real? for husband wife teams?

    remember, they will never keep you consistently busy....you may face the same fluctuation in miles that everyone else does....

    Those #'s are good, but I would plan on 4000-4500 for bills purposes.

    My husband and I teamed here at Werner for about 4 years. We ran their "Team Werner" freight. All that means is: all our loads had to be on time and our dispatcher ran us like scalded dogs. We were contantly loaded and stacked as far out as 4-5 loads. At Werner we always ran legal, of course, not only because we wanted to but because of the electronic logs. So, perfectly legal, we ran apx 5700-6200 a week.
