How Do Team Truck Drivers Get Paid?

How much money can you expect to make as a team driver? What happens if you’re an independent contractor vs. a lease driver? If you’re considering team driving, you need to first figure out how you’ll get paid and how much you’ll earn.

If you own your truck or you’re leasing it as a team, one driver takes on full financial responsibility and pays the other driver. As a company driver, both drivers are paid directly by the company. Make sure you create a financial agreement and you divide responsibilities. It’s also a good idea to set up a business.
