Not only No but H*LL no. I’m not putting my life in the hands of a stranger!!!
"Desperation to get rolling" and team driving don't necessarily go together.
First question: if you have six months experience what happened that you're not rolling now?
There are some companies that require teams, but most do not. So to help you more, tell us what you write doing for these last six months.
My bottom line: see PJ's opinion.
Here's a video i did about rookies teaming. I should do a new one to add more info
I know times are tough - it's difficult for drivers to find work. There's just something missing here in the details. We know it, the OP knows it. I wish people were willing to let us know how they came to be in their current situations.
The more details we have, the more concrete ideas we can share. Nobody really wants to team with some total stranger. Nobody should be forced into that situation. This driver has no leverage. There's a reason for that. The reason is forcing them to make desperate choices.
They've never shared why they aren't still working for their first company. Those details would be helpful for us to give proper guidance. This same driver posted another thread asking for suggestions of companies to apply to. In that thread they list their demands or criteria. In this thread, posted the same day, they seem desperate. Something is missing.

Has anyone had experience with this?
Out of desperation to get rolling im going down the application process to team drive with a stranger, I have 6 months experience So I don't have the power to call shots and really hold out for a great job
Can I get your opinions on this? I can see both the benefits and setbacks, but I'm just nervous of the idea overall since you don't know who it will wind up being
