Team Drivers

Drive as a Team to Earn More Miles

The truck never stops with our team units. Our team drivers are paid all miles—whatever you and your partner drive is what you earn. As a dedicated team driver, you’re never alone on the road. You’ll always have a working partner with you. In fact, some of our drivers even choose to team with a family member or friend.

Team drivers have the benefits of driving more miles than solo drivers. Team drivers are always more in demand than solo drivers because of how quickly the load can be delivered.

How Does Team Truck Driving Work?

As the name suggests, team truck driving means that two drivers are responsible for handling shipments. The major goal is to keep the truck on the road for as long as possible, thus delivering freight faster than a solo driver ever could. One driver will be on-duty (meaning they’re driving) while the other is keeping up with the 10 required off-duty hours. They will then switch off for the duration of the trip.

Advantages of Working Team Driver Jobs

  • Competitive Pay: Because team truck driving is more efficient, many companies will pay more per mile.
  • High Availability: Due to existing supply chain issues, there is an increased demand for team truck driving. And, this demand is the reason why there are so many team driver jobs available.
  • Consistent Work: Team drivers are consistently called on to handle priority loads. This consistent work also means consistent pay.
  • You’re On a Team: This is perhaps the most important (and obvious) advantage. While there are definite advantages to being a solo driver, dedicated team driving jobs are better suited for individuals who enjoy being around other people. You’re never alone on the road and you get to take breaks when you’re feeling tired.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Team Driving

Of course, team driving isn’t necessarily for everyone. There are a few important questions to ask yourself before you take a position, include:

  1. Are you willing to compromise? Remember that both drivers have equal say in the decisions being made and sometimes you won’t be 100% satisfied with the results.
  2. Do you want to be alone? Likewise, you need to consider whether you’re willing to share your space – something you’ve never had to do if your career has primarily been that of a solo driver. Some people value their alone time, and if you’re one of those people, a dedicated team driving job may not be the best fit for you.
  3. Do you want to be on the road all the time? Team drivers rarely stop for any appreciable length of time until the job is done—that’s largely the point of team driving in the first place.
