It’s a Way of Life
Truck driving is known as a lonely job. Though it is made less lonely when a driver travels with a partner. This is known as “team driving” and for some over-the-road drivers, it makes all the difference. Often, team drivers become friends outside of work, interacting socially with each other’s families. As such, teaming up with an enjoyable companion can be a great way of life. Read on for more information about the benefits of truck driving as a team.
More Money
Team drivers typically enjoy a 20% higher pay rate compared to solo drivers. Though not everyone is made for this type of driving, many team drivers wouldn’t have it any other way. At Matheson, both drivers are paid for all hours they are on the clock together. Some companies split pay a fifty-fifty which is not as profitable.
Safety
Drivers who ride with a companion have less to worry about when it comes to safety and security. Team-Drivers are able to watch each other’s backs and equipment while solo drivers must be more vigilant. With a team, the truck and load need not be left unattended. Often, solo drivers are compelled to stay in a hotel arranged by the company. Team drivers need only switch off with their co-pilot to sleep in the bay of the tractor.
