Anyone interested in running as a team?

Doesn't your company have a non-smoker driver who could team up with you?

 

Well truth is if two driver can work together they can make a good living while helping each other stay. as far as running legal, When I run team I still believe in driving while alert and sleeping when your tired. I run more like 5 and 5 then log 10 and 10. To me it seems to work better. Good luck becareful choosing your driving partner, your life is in there hands.

 

running team is harder than most ppl think it is.....but what would i know...only did it for 21 yrs...LOL

 

Compatibility is a must... and sure... the freight moves quicker..

However, I can do the same miles solo if the miles are there for the same or close to .. Pay

edit: a team gets paid say .38 cpm x 5700 miles a week divided by two

 

38 cpm is 1980s wages...I retired from Jack Cooper and can tell you that REAL car haulers are a different breed and do not like " sleeper operation ".... Loads are very personal and no two people do it the same...Jack Cooper learned this the hard way ....They bought 9 Freightliner sleeper ( cabover ) 10 car 65 ft. Cottrells in the eighties primarily to run cars from Fairfax ( Kansas City Ks. ) to the East coast and Chevy Astro vans from Baltimore back West....It was a nightmare ....Fist fights and drivers leaving the truck and flying home was the norm.....It NEVER worked

 

old tex

i can only imagine, my truck is too small for me, much less a stranger to add

 

how do teams pay? just divide by 2 or what?

 

A blast from the past. I rememeber when Cooper tried that fiasco. Sleeper teams running the Buick Skyhawk/Olds Firenza traffic out of KC. I believe they diverted traffic off the rail at a reduced rate to GM.
That didn't last long.
