But how is the salary taking a significant part here? More importantly, how much do truck drivers make in team driving?
Do they split the income or do they make more?
They do make more.
How?
Well, first of all, the point of team driving is in moving the truck the entire time. In other words, the truck will be operated the entire time.
In addition to this, keeping the truck in motion means keeping the money going. To put it in another way, one of the drivers will operate the vehicle while the other one sleeps.
The fact is the truckers who drive solo need to take a rest at the truck stop amenities, while the team truck drivers do not.
Further, they can complete longer mileage for which the truck drivers are rewarded, separately.
Notably, the team drivers receive their payment separately and they receive bonuses separately, even though their contribution is mutual.
