There are so few people who can not only work with their spouse but also do a job that has them together almost 24/7. Even the most loving couples would be trying to kill each other after a week. 🤣
This is beautiful. Not only are they making money, but they're spending quality time together when not asleep. Hell, they probably don't even need an apartment if they're always on the road, which will save a small fortune.
What is inspiring here? They never really see each other due to having to be looking at the road or sleeping. They clearly work ver long shifts or they wouldnt need to swap, they have no family apart from a dog. They spend ever moment together with mo breaks from each other. That sounds like a hellish existence.
@@cyanxde_G59you save tons of cash since no rent/house payments, so for low skill work it's pretty good pay A lot of people do this to get back in their feet in Canada/US if they're broke and are practically homeless (need your truck license though obv)
This is a really cool job the only drawback is the long hours you have to drive and that you don't see your family a lot but this way you both get to rest and constantly be with your family.
This is common. Did this w my husband for over 30 years, can drive longer and drop more loads equals more pay. I dont miss it- but I will always remember the people I met along the way. Traveled all over the country to nearly every state

As a trucker myself yes this happens. Nothing new. Your either solo or team. Ive done both. Team usually pays more. In America the trucks are bigger. There are 2 beds refrigerator storage for belongings and you can put a tv in there too. Usually ppl have wifi and their electronics. My trainer played video games in the back on his tv after he trusted that ill be okay without his assistance.
my stepdad never went this far, as his official title is VP. he's a workaholic & the company lacked drivers, so he obtained a CDL & began truck driving part-time. he's been doing this for 20 years. truck drivers are some pretty cool people!
I have seen trucks bigger than someone's house, inside is full of luxury like rolls Royce/Bentley of truck it's so crazy that they can built a home inside a truck and still have plenty of place left for goods for shipment
American trucks are bigger my ass ! I'm a Aussie triple road train driver. American truck chassis are to week for our demands. Come to Australia and drive a man's truck !
They probably own their own truck, in which case they are getting paid by the deliveries not per hour. So they can easily make twice as much money with two people driving, since a single truck driver would have to stop to sleep.
Freight broker here: They are team drivers. Very good for long haul freight. (In the US) DOT standards allow for more travel and longer routes to team drivers for obvious reasons. Truckers literally deliver nearly everything we have. Make sure to show those acting responsibility respect on the road. They put immense stress on their mind, body, and soul just to ensure the economy stays moving. Without them, it would quite literally fall apart. Show truckers love when you can!
Agree with everything you say,, But I hate FREIGHT BROKERS lol. I used to work as a dispatcher,, You booked lowest rpm for your customer, I tried to get best rpm for the drivers. Fun times lol
My dad, mom and sister were a triple team. They were long haul truckers through Canada and the US. It worked for everyone, everyone got enough sleep and they got to see the two countries.
I did this. It’s actually nice to have someone on the truck with you even if they’re asleep. Guess just their presence makes the experience a little better.
sleeping in a moving truck can be a pain. I had one team member throw me out of the bunk all the way up to the shifter because he was following to close and had to slam on the brakes.
My dad's a truck driver and when I was young (around 7) I sometimes had to go to work with him. we had to leave at around 3 in the morning so I would sleep in there a lot, it's actually quite comfortable.
My grandfather was a truck driver for yearss. His name was General. Then, years later, started an ambulance company and called it General Ambulance. I had some amazing grandparents. I miss them deeply. Just wanted to say something about them because i miss them 😂. Remarkable people.
There is a thing like an ambulance company???? God damn i am glad i live in a country where individuals cannot run such a business and profit of off people in need. Thats evil
@@AkorekLP we are the reason you get picked up in an ambulance 😂. We own them, employ paramedics and get dispatched out to your location through police. If we didn't exist you'd have to drive yourself to the hospital. In America anyway.
This happens with local trucking here, groceries and all that come 75% from big city 6-7 hours away. Usually, one of them drives one way, and the other drives the other way
That's really sweet. Truck drivers are like the heart of how the world stays running. They're ultimately how we're all able to get our food and supplies. They're underappreciated! (And same with farmers!) Truckers also go days to weeks without seeing their families so it's cool to see this couple figure it out and even have a doggo pal too [hopefully doggo gets space and playtime often!].
American women don't do that, that's why they are either alone or constantly switching their roster Yes, they have rosters with multiple men for multiple things. It's the men's fault for allowing it.

Team driving is VERY common in truck driving. My aunt and her husband did it for years before they had kids. Most companies will even let a driver have a non-driving companion ride along with them for company. When my husband did OTR I was on his forms as a passenger but I get nauseous in an 18 wheeler so I never went with him.
Can I ask why you were on the forms if you never went? Is there some sort of perk to having someone as a passenger? (Absolutely no disrespect meant if it came off that way)
@@amandaeggleston8998 When he was hired on they told him to list anyone who may ride with him in the future. He put me on the list just in case I ever wanted to go. And yes that is a perk some companies give their drivers.
This is the norm in Australia. There's a TV show out called Outback Truckers where you have husband and wife and dog and a kid transporting goods across some of the most inhospitable and dangerous land on the planet. All these 2 here are doing is hauling a single trailer truck on a main road. The couples that do it in Australia are driving Road Trains hauling 4 trailers 💯👍 Everything is big in Australia.
Do you have like some estrangement with your mom or you have to say your dad and his wife? Why can’t you just say mom and dad? Did your father remarry and that’s your stepmom and you just don’t view her as a person?
I don’t know the way how you’re wording. This just makes me feel uncomfortable it’s like calling your brother, your mother’s other son. It just feels like you have some strange feeling
My mom and my dad are truck drivers, they did 2 yrs OTR together and followed this tag team method as well. It truly made them appreciate each other as partners more.

Guys, please don't idealize companies working you to the bone like this. These people are stuck together in a tiny cab with no way to distance themselves from their work after hours, have their hours extended by taking shifts instead of cut short as they're now expected to just keep driving and never stop, have no quality time together, and look miserable. All the while their bosses are lounging around at dinner "meetings." They're being taken advantage of and doing their best to cope, not "living the dream."
Perspective is everything. My husband and I team. Yeah, we work long hours, but we each make over 6 figures a year. We have been in every state except Hawaii (on our bucket lists) and I have had the opportunity to explore some great places. We go home every couple of months to clean the truck and spend time with family. The views are amazing and it really feels like it's us against the world.
WTF you talking about? This ain't slavery, you can leave and do something else. They're decked out in luxury goods and top swag, they aren't suffering. Also, these two are their bosses, its contract driving.
I'd rather have this system where working for someone is voluntary instead of communism/socialism/marxism where you don't have much choice. Now that's real slavery. Marxists killed over 100M in the last 120 years so nah..I love capitalism.
@@etherealceleste Nowhere does it say contract driving, or even if that is a thing where they live. Also, slavery is not the only way people can have their freedom and quality of life taken away. Just because their situation doesn't meet some arbitrary "bad enough" level doesn't mean they're living well.

Knew a couple out of Dallas who did the same thing in their 50's both got their cdl's the husband built a trailerback for his rig that held 2 mopeds and they would drive across the US doing jobs drop a load and then vacation in that area for 2 weeks before picking up the next load moving on and doing the same.
My husband and I did this for 10 yrs!!! When we got home, after 2 mo. out on the road together, we each went to opposite ends of the house to get away from each other!!! The worst part is not being able to SLAM the door when you get pissed with your spouse! You make more money this way, but you also pay a BIG price for the money!

This is beautiful. Not only are they making money, but they're spending quality time together when not asleep. Hell, they probably don't even need an apartment if they're always on the road, which will save a small fortune.
This is honestly inspiring to see. A hardworking, cooperative couple.
you see inspiring i see dystopian
Of course, they’re not American 😂
“Hardworking”😂
What is inspiring here? They never really see each other due to having to be looking at the road or sleeping. They clearly work ver long shifts or they wouldnt need to swap, they have no family apart from a dog. They spend ever moment together with mo breaks from each other. That sounds like a hellish existence.

This is a really cool job the only drawback is the long hours you have to drive and that you don't see your family a lot but this way you both get to rest and constantly be with your family.
I do this with my hubby. I love driving truck, and LOVE working with him. It's nice to know your person is just an arms reach away.

This is common. Did this w my husband for over 30 years, can drive longer and drop more loads equals more pay. I dont miss it- but I will always remember the people I met along the way. Traveled all over the country to nearly every state
Was the money worth it overall?
Heh…drop more loads
How was WV?
Heh drop more loads
Don't you miss getting to spend more time with your husband while doing something productive together? That's a dream to me!
Had a pairing like this working as couriers. He handled the driving, and she with the cellphone coordinated the calls and his other colleagues with smaller vans.
I mean if they love each other and enjoy the work I could imagine how amazing that would be, you are getting paid to do work you love and be with someone who makes you happy, what more could you want
This is exactly how I drive with my dad, I take a 12 hour turn switch and he takes a 12 hour turn. Truly good to do this and trust in between us 🙂

@@BartMK 12 hours was hard in the beginning but we got used to it. Don't worry guys, we safe out here. Take care!

As a trucker myself yes this happens. Nothing new. Your either solo or team. Ive done both. Team usually pays more. In America the trucks are bigger. There are 2 beds refrigerator storage for belongings and you can put a tv in there too. Usually ppl have wifi and their electronics. My trainer played video games in the back on his tv after he trusted that ill be okay without his assistance.
my stepdad never went this far, as his official title is VP. he's a workaholic & the company lacked drivers, so he obtained a CDL & began truck driving part-time. he's been doing this for 20 years. truck drivers are some pretty cool people!
I have seen trucks bigger than someone's house, inside is full of luxury like rolls Royce/Bentley of truck it's so crazy that they can built a home inside a truck and still have plenty of place left for goods for shipment
American trucks are bigger my ass ! I'm a Aussie triple road train driver. American truck chassis are to week for our demands. Come to Australia and drive a man's truck !
I think that’s great. What I don’t get is this new trend of young women wanting to drive alone. This looks way better
@duncanweel7259 no thanks I wouldn't work for sub-par wages

The woman who replaces the man;
I was expecting the dog replacing the woman! 😂😂😂😂
In Australia it is called 2 up driving and quite often it is a husband and wife team. Love our truckies!
Being a Truck driver is hard enough. Glad to see it’s allowed to have somebody with you and help you out
Wow. Does my life suck that much that I look forward to driving trucks?
They probably own their own truck, in which case they are getting paid by the deliveries not per hour. So they can easily make twice as much money with two people driving, since a single truck driver would have to stop to sleep.
@@williamlevy6964it all depends on your perspective
Best job. Hard job
As a truck driver i never wanted to team drive. That is the scariest thing in the world to me. Married ppl have a certain leavel of trust
Freight broker here: They are team drivers. Very good for long haul freight. (In the US) DOT standards allow for more travel and longer routes to team drivers for obvious reasons. Truckers literally deliver nearly everything we have. Make sure to show those acting responsibility respect on the road. They put immense stress on their mind, body, and soul just to ensure the economy stays moving. Without them, it would quite literally fall apart. Show truckers love when you can!
Agree with everything you say,, But I hate FREIGHT BROKERS lol. I used to work as a dispatcher,, You booked lowest rpm for your customer, I tried to get best rpm for the drivers. Fun times lol

I hope they live a long happy life together! 👏🏼🫶🏼
I drive team with my wife and dog across the country 9 months out of the year. It's a great life because I can share it with her.

@@StarHunter28good question I wanna know as well
@StarHunter28 probably around $75,000 to $90,000 combined income in US
I did this. It’s actually nice to have someone on the truck with you even if they’re asleep. Guess just their presence makes the experience a little better.
sleeping in a moving truck can be a pain. I had one team member throw me out of the bunk all the way up to the shifter because he was following to close and had to slam on the brakes.
Wishing this couple all the best.
My dad's a truck driver and when I was young (around 7) I sometimes had to go to work with him. we had to leave at around 3 in the morning so I would sleep in there a lot, it's actually quite comfortable.
My grandfather was a truck driver for yearss. His name was General. Then, years later, started an ambulance company and called it General Ambulance. I had some amazing grandparents. I miss them deeply. Just wanted to say something about them because i miss them 😂. Remarkable people.
It's good that you miss them with nice memories
There is a thing like an ambulance company???? God damn i am glad i live in a country where individuals cannot run such a business and profit of off people in need. Thats evil
@@AkorekLP in my country private ambulance companies give service to public and private hospitals, also to retire houses or rehabilitation centers.
@@AkorekLP we are the reason you get picked up in an ambulance 😂. We own them, employ paramedics and get dispatched out to your location through police. If we didn't exist you'd have to drive yourself to the hospital. In America anyway.
@@Escaparrac I really really do. I owe them so much ❤️
I work at a vet clinic and we have a couple like this that bring their dog around. They are always very nice and treat her like a princess
This happens with local trucking here, groceries and all that come 75% from big city 6-7 hours away. Usually, one of them drives one way, and the other drives the other way
I think its awesome. Its safer having 2 people and they can save money and spend time together
That's really sweet. Truck drivers are like the heart of how the world stays running. They're ultimately how we're all able to get our food and supplies. They're underappreciated! (And same with farmers!) Truckers also go days to weeks without seeing their families so it's cool to see this couple figure it out and even have a doggo pal too [hopefully doggo gets space and playtime often!].
More than just truckers and farmers, most jobs tie into each other, there is no best 2, all pull their weight.
I'm sure the world woke up and appreciated them when the shortages hit and the truckers were boycotting lol
They're the blood vessels in the arteries of a country
They get paid insanely well I believe they are adequately appreciated lol
An entire profession that will be replaced by autonomous semis. 10-15 years

Team driving is VERY common in truck driving. My aunt and her husband did it for years before they had kids. Most companies will even let a driver have a non-driving companion ride along with them for company. When my husband did OTR I was on his forms as a passenger but I get nauseous in an 18 wheeler so I never went with him.
Can I ask why you were on the forms if you never went? Is there some sort of perk to having someone as a passenger? (Absolutely no disrespect meant if it came off that way)
@@amandaeggleston8998 When he was hired on they told him to list anyone who may ride with him in the future. He put me on the list just in case I ever wanted to go. And yes that is a perk some companies give their drivers.

This is the norm in Australia. There's a TV show out called
Outback Truckers where you have husband and wife and dog and a kid transporting goods across some of the most inhospitable and dangerous land on the planet.

My man and i would argue about each others driving like crazy if together 24/7 in a vehicle. 😂
Guys, please don't idealize companies working you to the bone like this. These people are stuck together in a tiny cab with no way to distance themselves from their work after hours, have their hours extended by taking shifts instead of cut short as they're now expected to just keep driving and never stop, have no quality time together, and look miserable. All the while their bosses are lounging around at dinner "meetings." They're being taken advantage of and doing their best to cope, not "living the dream."
Still seems wonderful to me, I would love to be around my lover 24/7
Perspective is everything. My husband and I team. Yeah, we work long hours, but we each make over 6 figures a year. We have been in every state except Hawaii (on our bucket lists) and I have had the opportunity to explore some great places. We go home every couple of months to clean the truck and spend time with family. The views are amazing and it really feels like it's us against the world.
WTF you talking about? This ain't slavery, you can leave and do something else. They're decked out in luxury goods and top swag, they aren't suffering. Also, these two are their bosses, its contract driving.
I'd rather have this system where working for someone is voluntary instead of communism/socialism/marxism where you don't have much choice. Now that's real slavery. Marxists killed over 100M in the last 120 years so nah..I love capitalism.
@@etherealceleste Nowhere does it say contract driving, or even if that is a thing where they live. Also, slavery is not the only way people can have their freedom and quality of life taken away. Just because their situation doesn't meet some arbitrary "bad enough" level doesn't mean they're living well.
