This video helps me a lot I was dedicated dollar tree with Schneider and being a new driver it stressed me out and I couldn’t do it just because there was some backing that was real rough . Now I am about to start team driving and hope I can gain some seat time to better myself but kind of have someone else just in case I need the help.
Great that brothers can work together. Biggest challenge for most is trying to get good sleep in a moving truck. Waterbeds are not a good idea in the truck, lol
Gary M yes that is a big issue, I still have issues from time to time sleeping in the truck, if we are driving through NY or Indiana , yeah not getting no sleep all those potholes suck
I just got off my trainers truck and there was another student. I slept fine while the truck was moving. That was only at night time. Day time I couldn't sleep much. Even with the curtain closed.
I’ll be doing team driving for 2 years with covenant transport. They pay new drivers .52 cents a mile. Gonna work like a dog for those 2 years and pay for a college degree so I’m home every day.
I believe college is a rip off... I have 2 years left in a university and thinking about dropping out... My degree is business and all I they teach y knew already... Working professional you can only get 4k to 5k monthly.... In trucking you get that in 2 weeks

I understand the whole blocking traffic thing. Theres a facility in Battle Creek, MI. Graphic Packaging. There a rail road track, then trucks trying to back in or out!

I got my CDL through CR England. The training was horrible. 1 trainer for 2 traines. It was horrible. 3 people to a truck. I couldn’t do anything. Drive and sleep. If I'm off 10 hours. 6 for sleep 4 for me. I took a year off because of it. But I'm back at it. My dad said he'd train me.
Peace. Initially was going to go solo. Consider how it tough it can be for a new solo driver running OTR, I decided to partner up with one of the homies from RM. I vested too much time to make a simple mistake and it cost my job. Plus the winter is coming
WOW, I like what Lil Bro said, " there's no I in team, it's all team " I'm solo and so many times almost every month I need a partner to stop traffic just to deliver or pickup cargo. But I'm not willing to gv up My living space w/ anyone
How to be a team driver: Step 1) DONT No amount of pay is worth sharing your tiny work space, sacrificing sleep, and not being able to listen to the radio at certain times. Also my top bunk and passenger seat are extra storage space.

Thank you guys for this video! researching trucking and trying to decide whether I am going team or solo, yes team at least until I get experience. It's good that you guys are close!
I am getting ready to retire from a government job. I have 8 years driving experience. I would really like to join with my son and buy a truck. The money is there. You just need to commit to being professional driver. It is all about the attitude.
lol its something you get accustomed to over time, When I finished driving my 11 hours i tend to stay awake for another 2 hrs, that way when i do lay down im a lot more tired and have less chances of waking up during hard brakes, or bumpy roads.Most of the time you will sleep for 6 hrs straight followed by other small naps
BroBro Truckers I am coming to USXpress without a doubt next week Monday orientation. You dudes look like your from New York. I am from the Bronx. Are you guys still with USXpress? Team driving is the way I wanna go so I look forward to getting freight moving cause I am tired of this boring ass Virginia and I am trying to get my own truck ASAP. This is the way I want to go about doing this!
If you sign a year contract with a company that trained you,after traing you have to choose team or solo can you switch half year through if you decide one is better than the other?
Curtis Cooper yes you can, and in most cases when you pair up with someone the company choose for you it takes a couple of tries. some choose a new partner or some go solo. so it's not out of the norm
Hello guys thanks for the video. Working for a company do you get to choose how many days a week you work? What is the average? If my girlfriend and I start out, how long will it take for me and her to be able to work together at a company?
I'm thining about getting into truck driving but I would want to be in a team, however I have no family member and all my friends done doiing there own job, so do the truck companies match you with someone? I'm one of these types that would want someone in there with me at all times.
I am about to retire from my federal government job. I am 60. My older brother wants to make a lot of money as do I. I have a lot of driving experience. He has none. We will team. What is the best company to go to in our situation?
Hamlet dubois hey i been driving trucks for 7 years but mostly city p&d my buddy recently bought a truck and wants me to go work teams with him is it a big difference from otr to city hauling
just applied for UPS OTR team driver. Got 2 yrs experience with doubles. Will I make good money with this company? first time I will be doing team driver. What are some ground rules I should put down?
Definently should make money especially with everyone ordering online since covid 19. Start figuring out when ya like to take home time. Teams typically take home time at the same time. Also talk about sleeping and driving for one another, people get tired and better one of you driving then ending up in the ditch. Lastly make sure your team partner is doing his/her miles so that your not driving all the time.
Vardell Harrell just depends we made a rule if one of us got tired we would wake up and drive for the other for maybe 1 to 3 hours depending on the situation. you will get better driving nights as time goes by. also our shifts worked around 12 to 12 so we both got some night driving and day driving in
Great video: Hiring team drivers... not afraid to work hard and to be treated with respect. We pay well and will give incentives... 1099. Small fleet- Michigan and Texas stationed
Question do the drivers get paid by split miles or you guys keep the miles that you make meaning if you make a 1200$ do they split it or you keep what you made and the other driver keeps what he made also?
joshua torres the easy way to understand is think about how many miles the truck ran then split that. so if the truck ran 5500 miles and you are getting 50 cent per mile split. that is $2700. then split that between both of you. which makes $1372. that is what u get. understand?
Get a broker bro me and my bro do team we make 24k in 4 day then home till Monday only running the south nothing up north we own truck and flatbed no notes
Great video. Very insightful! InshaAllah, I find a good female driver and we have a good time an create lots of memories. 🫶🏽🥝 I will be vlogging it on my channel as well!
Or you can do a rolling reset... you go on duty 9 hours and then your partner 9 hours, do this everyday and then at some point you will start to get extra hours added to your clock (rolling reset). It is better to do that than run your 14 hour on duty clock because you don’t have to do a 34 hour reset! In the long run you actually run more miles/get paid more.
So if me and my brother wanted to team drive together do we each need solo driving experience first or can we both get our cdl and then apply for team driving together as partners?
I really don't understand why someone would want a dog. At some point they're going to piss/shit in your truck. They'll wake you up at night. Make you stop more often. Pet supplies takes up space. T H E S M E L L. I'd rather deal with a human passenger, but being alone is the best.
@@hamletdubois6201 omg i feel so stupid i just looked at this and everything was plain as day.... Like clearly you guys are brothers lol u guys said in the begin of video and all..... But yeah u look the youngest.
Teams don’t make double the money. It’s still two drivers splitting the money. Go solo and go to a company that pays good. Team is not a perk. Don’t let these lost drivers and shit companies brain wash you
I am looking at team drivers and my question is this: I need to go for a shit now. Not tomorrow, now. What happens next ???????????????????????????????????????
Camping toilet, which is just a toilet seat on a folding frame. Hang 2 13 gallon trash bags in the seat, like it's the opening of a trashcan. Fold it up & put it away. When the urge strikes, unfold & use. Tie up the bags really tight. Maybe put in another bag. Next trashcan you see, drop it off.
Change your names to the low energy Bros. Several times I thought..if he talk any slower. Somebody check their pulse. Plus fatface was starting to slouch to the side, a clear sign of low energy. No blood pressure problems with these 2. Very low

It was horrible.
3 people to a truck. I couldn’t do anything. Drive and sleep. If I'm off 10 hours. 6 for sleep 4 for me.
I took a year off because of it.
But I'm back at it. My dad said he'd train me.
So you Can Pick your partner

They said in the video it's not for everyone so why the fuck would you care if others do it?
dawg use ya phone and get wireless earbuds. stop complaining
I did team for few months, would never do it again. You just are tired 24\7. You can’t rest with truck rolling at least not me
Great video you guys speak the truth keep it up I’m also getting into trucking so it’s definitely going to be hard at first

5:07 Hell Yes!!. that's me. I am a loner!. pls.little peace of mind. good video!. thank you!.
I guess the most important question for me is how do you sleep in a moving vehicle enough to be rested for your next turn at the wheel?
lol its something you get accustomed to over time, When I finished driving my 11 hours i tend to stay awake for another 2 hrs, that way when i do lay down im a lot more tired and have less chances of waking up during hard brakes, or bumpy roads.Most of the time you will sleep for 6 hrs straight followed by other small naps
Thank you!
The better the newer your truck n ur ride ..u can sleep
The worst thing about teaming for me was having my codriver pull over somewhere so I could poop.
Thomas Boneck worrdddd.... that be annoying . especially when you have to stop immediately
Thomas Boneck thank god imnotghe only one
The worst thing about teaming for me is trust issues.
That's why you get a bucket lol

Why do team drivers make less per mile than solo drivers?
Von Bassett I'm going to do a video to explain that further. what are the pay amounts you are comparing ?
Von Bassett your miles add together and you will complete more loads that way and miles so you’ll make a little more than solo
Y’all seem really knowledgeable about the field I appreciate the knowledge wish y’all all the success be safe out there

What if you try team and don't like it? Can you go back to solo or request a new partner?
