5 Reasons to Be a Team Driver

One of the biggest benefits of being a driver for Hirschbach is that you have options. Like the thought of hitting the road by yourself? Be a solo driver.

Or have you never considered being a driver because it seems lonely? Have a spouse or friend you wish you could spend more time with? You can be a team driver.

Team driving is when two truck drivers make runs together on the same carrier. This allows for the haul to always keep moving because when one driver takes a break, the other takes over.

Here are 5 reasons to be a team driver for Hirschbach:

1. More Money: Teams get a $3,200/week minimum pay incentive. That’s $1,600/week per driver just for being a team driver.
2. Companionship: One of the hardest parts of being a driver is that you are away from your loved ones. Well, with team driving, you can work side-by-side with your loved ones and hit the road together.
3. Safer and More Efficient: Solo drivers may find themselves racing against the clock to meet a time limit and safety regulations. With team driving, there is no need to break safety rules to meet a deadline because you have a partner there with you who can take the wheel.
4. Team Freight is Always in Demand: Because team driving is safer and more efficient, it’s always in demand.
5. You Get $1,200 When you Refer Your Own Teammate: When you refer a teammate you also get $1,200 referral bonus after they are hired (paid out on settlement following referral being seated). Your teammate will get a $1,000 Orientation Completion incentive, and a $10,000 sign-on incentive (incentives are subject to change in the future).
