Hi all, I love team driving, but no longer have a team mate. I am now finding out that the companies are not helping people find a team driver anymore. Solo is ok, but really like the money that the team driving brings in! Any ideas on how to go about finding a team mate??

I think you scared grandma away by telling her to marry a truck driver......

oh i couldnt IMAGINE teaming with someone i didnt know...hell over half the time i dont wanna team with my husband....after runnin team for almost 21 years...its not like you can go in the sleeper and slam the curtain....its HARD ..thank goodness we still like each other....as well as love and being in love...otherwise it wouldnt have worked this long....many times i said "stop this damn truck...i am walking"....and DID....course i dont do that anymore....lol you have to get along REALLLLLYYYY well with someone to team....its hard living with another person as it is, but especially in a box smaller than most peoples closet...
I disagree. Hard? No, IMPOSSIBLE! MM and I have been together, worked together and lived together in a truck for 27 years. We get along better when we're together than apart. Living with someone you don't know is, for all practical purposes and intents, IMPOSSIBLE! I did it for FFE back in the 80's and it's a miracle I didn't wind up in jail!
I will be the first to admit that I'm not the easiest person in the world to get along with, but I can't abide some fat, nasty, smelly idiot who doesn't know what water is for other than drinking and snores like a buffalo during mating season. Nevermind that he dipped and spit in cups and bottles strategically placed around the truck. I wound up having to throw his burger wrappers and sacks in the trash when we fueled because he was too fat and lazy to hit the trash can at fuel or rest stops. Seriously, the guy is lucky to be alive!
I will NEVER team with anyone but MM again!
Of course my company is small, we haul high dollar freight that pays well, and the work is consistent.
Well I have two weeks experience on a landoll hauling 220 Kobleco Excavators and JLG 135 Super Booms, can I get a job?
Wide loads suck in rush hour traffic.
If you are truly interested, PM me.
But if you are happy with the local gig, stick with it. You have a family you like to be home with every night, right?
