Team driving and safe miles

There are two guys I have ever met that I would even THINK about teaming with. Teaming, you have to both be on the same page on driving style or you will be split up in a week. THEN you have the personality, hygiene, radio and political/religious tests, which are even harder to pass. Basically, you have to be driving with someone that's your best friend or you both have to be so disciplined that it's a sterile environment. That's a mighty tough nut to crack.

If they wnt you to drive 120k with a stranger, you're getting screwed, blued and tatooed. they probably also don't pay you crap. You can go to a Community College and get a CDL for under $4k, all on a student loan. Then go to workk for a decent company for 38-40-45 CPM solo. You might be with a trainer for a month, which is about all you should need.

No, you're not on the hook for what your teammate does. You're just DEAD if he's a crap driver.

 

Only 2 people I would team with would be my dad and my really good friend that I met while doing team driving food service

 

I would put nothing past these companies. A truck gets in an accident they are likely to clock both driver's DACs with preventable accidents. Their attitude towards truck drivers is always shoot first ask questions later.
