Team driving explain this please

Truck gets longer runs, and only stops for fuel, seat swap, and 30 minute breaks. My landlord gets about 7K miles a week.

 

Do the math, teams make more per mile, and get more miles. Solo drivers (starting out at least ) won't get 3k miles either, solo drivers sit more than teams at most outfits

 

That 60 cpm split is for all miles,5000-7000 usually). Figure that's 30 cpm for all those miles.

 

It's just like anything. If you are a strong solo with the right company and dispatchers you can run 3000 or more a week. If you are a strong team with good load planning you can pretty well go non stop. If you are a driver who is habitually late for appointments they will give you the freight with more than enough transit time on it = less miles per week.

 

.30 cpm x 3000 = $900

.30 cpm x 6000 = $1800

 

And i watched guy on Youtube saying he makes 4500 , don't belive Youtubers it's first of all.
2nd dude teams don't need to idle truck for 10 hours
Do math , lets say you have load going from Jacksonville, FL to LA
Now
Count how many days it will take you to reach it, then count how many days it takes team to reach it.
After that go back to 5th grade!

 

At .60 a mile, I don't see why anyone would do that.
