    Each driver will receive their own paycheck separately from the other irregardless of the household address; is that what you mean? Are you thinking of a married couple teaming?

    Most team drivers are paid more than solo drivers so that should not be an issue.

    Probably do much better as solo if you run hazmat/tankers or LTL.

    If you really want teams try some food service companies such as Lily, Blue Line Foodservice, Tyson Foods.

    US Express Teams do real well financially from what some teams post on here.

    Teams run a lot more miles than solo. That's where the extra money comes in. I suggest if you go that route, you divide the net equally between the both of you. You'll each be driving pretty much equal time. You may drive more one week, but the next week you'll drive less. Splitting it 50/50 takes all the guess work out of it.
