Team Driving and Pay.

You split one or the other, but it works out the same either way. 6000x0.225=1350 or 3000x0.45=1350.

Usually the way it is worded by the company is that they will pay $0.45 to the truck and the miles per pay period are split evenly, no matter how many each of you individually drives.

source: I drive team with my wife. Even though our pay is deposited into the same account, we each get a separate settlement breakdown each week

 

since I'm up and can't sleep I will do my best to explain young Jedi. The miles and pay will be split 50/50 by both drivers weekly. You and your partner will likely run coast to coast at all times of the day. Choose a partner wisely if you can. As a team driver your partner is the most important thing. You want a partner who can run nights or day if needed. You also want a partner who can pull his own weight as well..the truck will be the living space for 2 people so hopefully you get a partner who understands this and will respect the truck.. Gl

 

I sure hope that 45 cents number is just an example to figure how things are done and its not an actual pay to a team truck....

 

Just seems like $1350 each per week is too low to be stuck in the truck 24 hours a day all week and trying to sleep while the other one is driving. Im a newbie so just throwing out a comment.

 

Some people would kill for 1350 a week ATM js but team driving is not for me. I did it for 6 months when I first started out. My teammate wife left him while he was on the truck for his cousin and he had a nervous breakdown. Come To find out she was with the cousin prior before they got married. It was crazy

 

54 cpm would be a minimum "fair" wage for a team. Also about standard for that larger companies. Good money, but you have to have someone you can really get along with, because you are gonna be CLOSE.....
