Team Driving The Dynamic Duo of Trucking

• If you are interested in truck driving jobs or
  employment in the trucking industry, you should
  make yourself familiar with the option of team
  driving. When most think of truck driving, they
  think of one man, one truck and lots of road
  however, that is not always the case.
• Team driving is a term for two people who
  alternate driving and managing hauls on the road.
  Team driving allows truck drivers to make longer
  routes without exceeding their hours of service
  carefully monitored by FMCSA (Federal Motor
  Carrier Safety Administration).

• FMCSA does require team drivers to limit their
  off-duty hours to only 2 hours in the passenger
  seat. This guideline ensures drivers spend the
  remaining 8 of their 10 off-duty hours in the
  sleeper berth. While one driver is off-duty and
  catches some shut eye, the other can log more
  mileage.
• In addition to being more efficient, many
  trucking industries also provide incentives for
  team drivers. Incentives have been known to
  include increased pay-per-mile rates and/or
  priority dispatch. In addition to company
  incentives, team drivers also have the benefit of
  having regular schedules and consistent pay
  checks.

• Last but not least, four hands is simply better
  than two. Pre-trip inspections become less of a
  hassle while the company ensures a less isolating
  experience.
