Team driving?

But you don’t get 4 straight weeks. You get it a week at a time usually. I get 6 weeks per year. Sometimes I’ll get 2 weeks in a row, but not that often.

Still, 4 weeks, spread out over the year is nice.

 

Is the company doing split pay or split miles? The way you calculated the second one (.30x3000) was split pay & split miles. With all the companies I called, they did one or the other. If you did .30x6000, it would equal $1800.

BTW, my husband and I will be new team drivers, so I don't know what companies are good except for what's recommended...

 

I ran team in the late 90's with my father. If your considering running team here are some words of advice from someone that did it for a year. 1st you better trust that person your running with 100% with your life and also be able to sleep thru about anything. 2nd You better also be able to forget what happens on the truck unless it impacts you. 3 Be ready to run harder than you have in your entire life. A bad week for my father and I was 7500 miles in a week every week. 48 hours to go between Chicago and LA was routine. 60 hours was the time we had to get to Atlanta from Salinas CA on a good trip. We burned out trucks literally. Our first one had 300K when we got it 6 months later we had bumped it to almost 500K. In the last 4 months we ran team our Brand New Pete even with all her issues still racked up 100K and spent a month in the shop.

 

Union deal.

 

I hit that wicked-rough bridge abutment today going out WB west of West Memphis. That would have made anyone rethink living in the sleeper of a moving truck for 1/3 of their life.

 

You should have tried PA in the 90's there is a reason why I kept the bunk belts up on our Pete. That state was one of those reasons along with Arkansas and Ohio when we got into that state.
