Is it worth it?

Just say no.

 

The purpose of the team is to run the truck & they mean run the truck. That would not being home. I saw some interesting opportunities if I was going to team with my wife. You would make the money but home time would be given up.

 

There are carriers with dedicated team routes and home time. I would think these are typically established teams, and not entry-level. I know of one in Ohio that runs their teams from Ohio to So. Cal. and it is a 4 day work week generating about $120k to the drivers. It would not be a starting point.

 

Chances of divorce will increase significantly running a team and no, forget about home time

 

I love my wife dearly but could not live in a truck with her.

 

I can only imagine being stuck in a small box with your significant other 24/7. You might get intimate once a month (if that) just out of desperation lol

 

Friends of mine, husband and wife team: she says it's like living together in a bathroom.
But yes you can make that kind of money. Another couple did that for about five years and saved up to pay cash for a house, then they found local work and started a family.

 

Good companies pay teams .50 cents a mile and up. Good teams run 5 to 6,000 miles a week. Find a company that will let you do three weeks out and one week at home...and you will hit your annual number.
