Any Swift driver want to team?

Why wanna reconsider that teaming is a scam I as a solo driver have made $1500 in a week What u get $.22 a mile that's a joke ya I know more miles but it's just not worth it to put up with someone u don't know is it.


Even if you can get 6000 miles a week that's only $1300 teaming is just a way to scam the drivers out of $$$$ and save Swift $$$$.

As a solo driver I average $1000 a week but I also have a great DM and bug the hell out of dispatch if I have no load or my DM gets me a load even if it short I take it just in case I can get into a better area

Just my 2cents good luck just consider before u actually do it

 

If you're teaming and are making less than a solo driver than you're doing something wrong, our some one is any way, that truck is sitting way to much to make only around $1300
I drove back in 08 and i was pulling down around $900 weekly as a solo, teams were pulling down $2000 weekly
I am going team and my truck will definitely be making around $1500 to$2000 weekly, if not i will find the problem and fix it

 

Must have paid better back then, Shen I was hired they said swift only pays $.44mile and teams split that, that means students are making better $$$ than them at $.25.

Be better off mentoring u get paid ur pay rate for every mile the truck is dispatched. But 1st 50hrs no teaming, then if u team u can make a huge mileage bonus my mentor just got his 1st bonus and it was almost $4000 but he is a Diamond driver too

 

heres a question...can someone tell me why a solo driver makes (lets say) 35 cpm but then if he gives up a whole friggin lot to team up with someone the company rewards him by cutting his pay by nearly 40 percent????????? that part indeed seems like the biggest scam going in trucking.

 

Indeed i agree with you pokerhound, don't seem right at all (sounds like a suckers play)
But i have had friends and family who have all drivin for years, and the storeys all ways the same
"go team and make money". You have to split the cpm for the truck but the flip side is that
The truck should all ways keep moving, rather than solo where the truck is forced to store for you're
Rest breaks and restarts
Another plus to teams is that teams usually (99%) will get the better and lower mileage trucks,

 

Scarface, yes they did atlast the company that i was at did, solo was .33cpm and teams split.68cpm.
How ever they would run you're butt into the ground, and if any issues or complaint came from "the truck
You could be sitting for a while our start running you're least favorite corner of the country a ton.

As for mentoring, that's a whole lot a bravery trusting your life in the hands of a "student" i had a friend who was
Mentoring back in 08 he said good miles great money until (Dunn Dunn Dunn) i was awoken by the sounds of breaking glass scrapping metal and standing on the wall of his sleeper, after a "student" decided to take an
Off ramp at highway speed when she thought she was going to miss her exit

 

Just an fyi ... based on my allegedly unscientific survey ... team trucks at Swift are averaging closer to 5k a week.
