The best part is all the money you save at truck stops. You don't have to pay for parking you'll get more points to spend as your buying more fuel.. You always have shower credits,and don't get stuck buying $10 subs and other junk the truck stop rapes you on.
Almost forgot..never getting stuck at shipper or receiver,with no bathroom,shower,or food. I hate having to buy a $30 pizza!
Teams are paid for all dispatched miles and each team member gets paid for all those miles whether they're driving or not. You get paid for miles you drive and also the miles your wife drives and same for her. In other words, while you're sleeping and your wife is driving, you're still getting paid for her miles also.
Yep, I get paid for all hub miles, while I'm sleeping or driving. We also get stop pay for each place we go to, although not a lot, over the 2 weeks, it does add up. I never sit at truckstops, or anywhere else, waiting for a load. Find a great company (not a Mega), drive teams, you should be making a minimum of 70k....and could be upwards of 85k-90k.
I'm not sure about exact US rules for teams, but I know in Canada it works that way. Your 8-hours in sleeper while the other driver is driving is your required break.
Ya, I would have to find a partner that is serious about getting them miles.. I see a lot of people looking for partners.. plus getting along in the tiny box is a deal as well.
U make alot more teaming.its crazy how most people give up alot of money because they say they cant sleep with the truck movin or they cant get along with someone.i say grow up and quit being a cry baby! I hear u solo guys crying about somethin at the truck stops anyways.so u will cry no matter solo or team.
