Team Drivers

The information below provides insight into how working as a Team Driver may meet your expected lifestyle, work into your long-term career plans, and provide the working environment you seek.

A team driver is a driver operating with a partner who shares driving duties and other tasks with the other partner. Delivery is much faster than utilizing a single driver, as Hours of Service regulations can be met for one driver while the other is resting.

Team drivers often consist of spouses driving together or partners in an owner-operator situation. Likewise, an owner-operator may hire on another driver for the sole purpose of serving as part of a two-man team.

In some cases, a team can be formed by two individuals who may own a truck together or when one works for the other driver.

But more frequently team drivers are the result of carrier or company programs that pair up drivers to provide the benefits a team arrangement offers.

Of course, these teams must be carefully selected and monitored. People do not get along for a variety of reasons. A team that gets along well, communicates, and has similar goals and expectations of the job is going to be far more efficient and productive than a team that does not like driving together.

There is nothing as important to team driving as the personal relationships built between the partners. Aside from the personal characteristics needed to be a good truck driver, a Team Driver must be able to work day-in and day-out with a partner.

Youll likely recognize that a team driving arrangement complicates and trumps any other issue you may run into in terms of personal characteristics.

Different types of materials require different types of trailers, and each type of trailer offers drivers its own challenges.

Therefore, it is important to understand what is required to not only drive your truck and your freight, but the trailer you are pulling as well.

Refrigerated trailers are those most often hauling food products that must be kept at low temperatures to prevent perishing.

Drivers of reefers may operation within a region, or they may travel cross-country routes in performing their jobs. Driving a reefer, as opposed to a dry van, requires additional skills and responsibilities.

Monitoring temperatures within the trailer is a vital task of reefer drivers, as if they vary from a specific range as determined by the product carried.

Drivers should be skilled in identifying problems with equipment and making minor repairs as well as calling and waiting for repair help.

A reefer driver may make several stops along a route to offload products at grocery stores, convenience stores, and other retail locations.

Along with the personality traits need for most driving positions, reefer drivers need to realize and accept the level of responsibility involved in hauling refrigerated products.

Depending on the product, a reefer may carry products with a total value of hundreds of thousands of dollars to retailers that rely on a steady supply of refrigerated items to meet consumer demand.

Delays in shipments hurt the carriers as well as the retailers.

Often, reefer drivers will be responsible for offloading a certain number of boxes or cargo at various locations. A level of strength and endurance is necessary, as is a conscious effort to protect the product from breaking, being crush, or otherwise damaged.

Reefer drivers can typically perform their jobs with a CDL appropriate for the truck being driven. No specific endorsements are normally required unless the trailers use atypical refrigeration systems involving hazardous materials.

Truck driving route type vary within the industry and are dependent on several factors including interstate trucking requirements, route planning, type of cargo hauled, frequency, hazardous materials restrictions, driver experience, etc.

OTR routes can be regional with occasional outside of region assignments or they may be cross-country to make one delivery or several along the way.

OTR drivers are generally paid by the mile and are on the road for much of the year with limited home time.
