Do you have a shipment that needs to move a long distance in a short period of time? Moving your freight with team drivers can move your loads faster than using a single driver. If you need a long-haul shipment to move with stopping, call AmeriCargo Trans and ask about our team drivers.
Why Use Team Drivers?
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has very strict rules about how long a truck driver can operate their vehicle each day. This is a good thing because it keeps drivers from being overtired when operating their trucks. Truck drivers must take a break for a minimum of eight hours each day and depending on how their driving times are split for that day; the break times may be even higher.
When you have a team of drivers operating a rig, you can double the amount of time that the truck is moving each day. In fact, with careful planning of breaks, you can keep that truck moving around the clock. This allows you to get your product to the final destination much faster than if a single driver was moving the load.
Other benefits of team drivers include:
• No transferring of loads. Some companies will try to keep a load moving fast by transferring the load to another driver when the first driver has reached their driving limit for the day.
Not only can this still create downtime when the drivers are changing the loads, but it can also cause confusion in the shipping chain and other delays. When you use team drivers, you have one truck pulling the load from start to finish.
• Safer drivers. When you have a long-haul shipment, single drivers often push their time on the road as much as possible to stay within DOT guidelines. This means doing things like stopping for ten hours and then going right back on the road. Many of these drivers do not get enough rest during this time because they have to eat, shower, and do paperwork while the truck is stopped. When you have a team of drivers operating the vehicle, you know that both drivers are getting ample sleep when the other is operating the vehicle.
