1. Your drive team captain/coach should be the one to choose the driver, in my opinion. The drive that is "passing on the sticks" might also have a bit of a say in it. On the field, the driver will have to listen to their coach, so it's very important they are comfortable working together, as well as with the operator.
2. As I said above, make sure the operator and coach are comfortable working with the person driving. They have to work with each other on the field. Also, make sure that the person you choose is willing to listen to the coach and not defy what he/she says. Drivers should also have a good idea of strategy in their heads.
3. Test out a few different people to find a couple people who have some skill. Have the drive coach get to know them a bit. The drive team should be comfortable working with each other and listening to other's ideas.
A great way to find a driver is a off-season events. It allows you to test out many different people and find the best person for the job.
Being drive is a very honorable position, so make sure the person you choose truly deserves it. They should be a person who is dedicated to the team and helps out whenever they can to make sure everything gets done.
Hope that helps.
