Getting CDL and seeking Team Driver
You haven’t even got in the door somewhere but your asking to literally put your life into a stangers hands.
With all the big truck wrecks we see out here, your better than I am to be willing to take that risk.
I teamed with my wife for a year, and besides her there are only 2 other people in this world I would put that much trust in.
Think seriously about what your asking for, before you do it.
I hear you and absolutely am not going to get into a truck with just anyone. If I can work it out to drive solo that is my fist choice; I'm hitting obstacles being that I'm in CA. The few carriers I'm interested aren't bringing on solo drivers.

My suggestion... find the right company for you then find a team.mate their. What is the point of finding someone then finding out that only one of you is accepted to a company?
The trouble I'm encountering is that Prime and XPO are not even looking for drivers from CA without being a team. I'm looking at a few for solo, however the pay is quite low. I recognize that the fist year will be challenging pay with most carriers; I'm trying to layout a path to get me where I'd like to be in a few years.

I'm just curious... why do you want to start your trucking career as a team driver?
I'd prefer solo however the few recruiters that I've spoken with are not accepting solo drivers out of CA.

Getting CDL and seeking Team Driver
I'm looking for a male, non-smoker interested in team driving for 12-24 months. I'm considering several larger carries offering sponsored CDL training but open to suggestions; if you are interested in team driving I'd like to talk with you.
Ideally I'd like to drive with someone that is looking to ride hard; 3-4 weeks out minimum. I'm located in Los Angeles so I expect it would be ideal if we were within a few hundred miles of one another for home-time but I also know of some successful teams that live on opposite sides of the country.
I'm 57yrs; non-smoker; easy going; hard working guy. I've worked construction to executive level throughout my career and used to earning 6-figures. My dad and uncles were long-haul truckers; I'm now in a position to where I'm ready to start driving. Hit me up if interested in team driving.
