What does it mean to drive as a Team?

Truck 推动团队s are made up of two people who share driving and other responsibilities related to their freight. 在斯威夫特, our teams run on accounts that are time sensitive and have more distant routes when compared to solo 司机. So, while one driver is "on duty" and driving, the other driver is "off duty" and sleeping – making it possible for a team to cover more miles in less time than a solo driver.

With Swift’s expansive and diverse customer base, we offer plenty of Team driving opportunities that fit your 需要s. 这些包括:

车队卡车驾驶规则

The Federal Motor Carrier 安全 Administration (FMCSA)¹ requires 团队的司机s to spend 8 consecutive hours in their sleeper berths, but also allows team members to rest for 2 additional hours in the passenger seat while the vehicle is moving. This way, each driver gets 10 hours of rest even while their truck is moving. (Note: If a driver spends more than 2 hours in the passenger seat, that time should be properly logged as on-duty (not driving) time.)

司机 are allowed to switch back and forth from on duty to off duty until either driver reaches the maximum limit of 60 or 70 hours on duty in any 7- or 8-day period. 

车队司机工资信息

当你是团队的一员, your truck driving salary will increase because the truck can be active longer – and if you're an OTR 团队的司机, 你的薪水几乎可以翻倍. Currently, we have OTR teams that drive:

• 干燥的货车

• 冷藏

• 平板车或运输

• 专用的

在一般情况下, 团队的司机s can expect to receive an average annual salary (per driver) of $61,156-$71,383 ($1,210-$1,419周). However, for information on what your team salary may be for a specific route, please talk to your driver leader or a Swift recruiter. Additional salary information by line of business can be found on our 工资页面.

Driving as part of a team can be an incredibly rewarding experience – in terms of your paycheck and your life. With the chance to spend time with someone you care about, do a job you love and make a good living, it can be a dream for someone who enjoys life on the road.
