How does team driving work when it comes to hometime? I'm assuming you have to live in the same state as your co driver? but that wouldn't make sense cus sometimes you get paired up and what if that guy lives in Alabama and you live in Florida? would you just spend one weekend at his terminal and then one when its your time he takes a 34 at ur term? confusing

I codrove with one guy who lived only an hour from the terminal, and every single week we were due back at the terminal, I arrived before him by like 6 hours, and I live 3 hours away. lol
Now I usually get there the day before I am due to roll out and don't really worry about my codriver. It works for me, I have a full day to stay at the truck and get myself back into work mode.Chinatown and DevJohnson Thank this. -

In my research on future companies to drive for, my top choice nearest terminal was in Arizona, and I live in Texas. That means when I go home I have to drive a day or more just to get home in my POV or bobtailing. Either way, it kinda sucks if I want to go home to TX and not a motel. I cant teleport there and I am sure they wont fly me. -
You said you live in ID, right? I don't know if you are married or have kids but SLC has a lot of trucking company terminals there. You could move there and have a lot of options close to your domicile.
Also if you are interested in team driving for whatever reason, you can go the motel route. When you do get off time, the cost of a motel won't be a big deal compared to the extra money you will probably make teaming depending on how long you are out.
I wouldn't care about getting a motel. But being a nerd, I have to have lightning-fast internet for my games. I'm spoiled that way. And motels just wont give me the internet connection I require to keep my attention.
I could move to AZ for this job that looks good, but I got family here and I can couch surf, crash in my parents guest bed (I have my mail sent there), or hang out at one of my brother's homes. It saves me $$$$ that I can earn interest with instead.DevJohnson Thanks this. -
