I'm not trying to be a smarta&s, but I do have queston.
I have never run a team, but I thought the reason you run team was so that you could sleep while the other driver drove and vice-versa.
Could neither of you sleep when the truck was moving?
I'm just having a hard time understading the no sleep thing!

Many companies offer what they call "Super Singles/Solo".

They're typically couples, and generally put in a 14 hour day.

I have no further comment.

 

Iroc:
I will let you know that I have run team. Our runs were 5500 to 6000 miles
a week and we set up a program where our truck was able to be parked for
5 to 6 hrs every night for sleep. We would leave on Saturday at noon and be back by Thursday night. I will say it was for a small company and it was a dedicated run, but we turned one every week. I think what you need to find is a dedicated coast to coast run, or what they call a triangle run. I don't know how warner is as far as logbooks, but if o/o are also on the paperless logs I would consider leaving.

When we would run as a team we ran 9hr & 9hr with 6hr off for sleep. if we felt like it we would do a little more like 10hr & 10hr with 4hr off for sleep.
We would also try and get some sleep if we could while the other one was driving even if it was just an hr or two. Our run time also included fuel stop and meal stops, which was usually at the same time.

Try to find a company with dedicated runs for teams that helps out alot.

wish you luck

 

So, what does that mean? Two people keep each other company and take a nap together when you get a chance (assuming they are a couple).
To me, this defeats the purpose of a team.
I was led to believe that the reason to run team was to keep the truck rolling 24/7, except for fuel stops, etc.
I guess what you're saying is it is a rider policy, not a team.

Super Solo --- There are 2 drivers in the truck. It operates as a solo unit for the most part. A few companies offer this.

General expectation is, the truck will move for 14 hours a day. More if needed to make the appointment.

You will not get priority as a team would. But you will be higher in the pecking order, than a solo.

I'm not sure what the pay scale is for this. I haven't asked anyone.
