Team Driving Job Paying $0.70 CPM
Topic 22791 | Page 1
Without knowing any more details this is a very difficult question to answer. What carrier would this job be with? How many miles per week? What routes? Are you currently teaming now and what is your experience level?
OWI:
Operating While Intoxicated
Not enough info. However, that is most likely 35 CPM each.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Yep pretty much any time you see those tempting team rates you'll find some fine print hidden somewhere that notes it is split between the driver's. 70 cpm is earned to the truck, and is split in half between the driver's.

I've been working on putting something together about truck driver math. You guys are cracking me up. Splitting 70 cents to the truck for a team is still some great money.
What will make this job interesting or not will be the details - none of which we know anything about other than it is a team position, and that brings it's own issues to the forefront. Randy is already aware of those things.

Randy, you may gain some insight by reading this thread about a Potentially High Paying Team Driving Job.
.70 split is very decent rate.. now for serious questions.. is it a dedicated route , how many team miles, what kind of benefits, are tolls paid by the company, and so many more.
I need more cowbell/info.
Dedicated Route:
A driver or carrier who transports cargo between regular, prescribed routes. Normally it means a driver will be dedicated to working for one particular customer like Walmart or Home Depot and they will only haul freight for that customer. You'll often hear drivers say something like, "I'm on the Walmart dedicated account."
Sounds about right. I’m not experienced but I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I know a lot of people here say don’t believe social media. But if you get a chance watch red Viking trucker on YouTube. He is doing the same thing. He is running teams and going coast to coast making about $2,200 per driver per week on a 1099. Not a bad gig. I could only do that for a year or so since I have a family.

How much is he paying in taxes as an independent contractor? Most likely taxed quarterly and much differently than W2 but I'm not a tax expert.
Yeah those numbers are more than likely not after taxes etc. My mom always said if it sounds too good tok be true, then it probably is. I mean why wouldn't everyone do it then... just my 2 pennies of input.
