Both of us have our CDLs, have teamed together before for a 3 year period as company drivers. We know the burdens of living in a box weeks at a time together.
I have searched high and low on the www for an answer, but I only find information on profits for O/O solo drivers. What is the annual potential of a team with all the proceeds going to one household. This will be a new MC# and we will be going into it debt free, both personal & business. We have the money to buy an $80k tractor, and have $25k in reserves after all the start up costs associated.
I have run several scenarios of miles & $ PM, minus expenses and I can make an assumption, but I can’t find any data to back it up.
this will be Dry Van, we will rent the trailer to start.
O/O teams, what say you?

You guys should better go with a new truck right away instead of getting used. When it comes to work its hard to say. Right now it's busy for teams, but after New Years you might not have enough work on the spot market. Maybe check for companies who have dedicated team freight and will hire you
NorthEastTrucker and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
Had the same first thought, buy new.
it’s impossible to figure potential profit without knowing who your customer will be. What freight will you be pulling?Midwest Trucker Thanks this. -
Buy new, at 250,000 miles a year a used truck will be used up quickly

Its pretty tough running team dry van on the spot market, we've had guys try. You'd be running more as a super solo. There are some team loads out there, but they aren't real plentiful. Team reefer there is more, coast to coast stuff.
As far as earning potential, way too many factors to give a real number. All of our solo dry vans and solo reefers will gross over $200k this year, some of them have hit $30k month these last few months. Rates have been high, and thats not the norm. You could expect $25k-$30k running as a team/super solo in a normal market on the spot market. The market fluctuates a lot and often, so you have to take these averages over a long period of time.Lucy McGillicuddy and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
As for revenue, think of it as double what a single truck can make. A single truck can gross $240k.Lucy McGillicuddy and Midwest Trucker Thank this.
