Husband training Wife

Chunksalot · Jan 20, 2013

Howdy All, new to this sight and love all the great info. Learning about expediting and considering a change.
I have about 5yrs OTR with 6mos recent after a 6yr hiatus. My wife has been riding with me for 3-4mos and wants to start driving team with me. She likes the straight trucks with the 144" sleepers of course.
My questions is after she gets her Class B will a company let us hire on as a Team so that I can get her up to speed?
We were both raised on farms so she has driven straight trucks before we just never needed endorsements. We will both have HazMat.

Dear Chunksalot;

I thought I was having a dyslexic moment when I first read the title of your post "Husband training wife". Been married 32 years and my wife is still trying to get me trained.

I'm sure you will find a company that will allow you to train your wife upon her obtaining her CDL B.

Good luck in your ventures. Give me a call if there is anything I can do to assist you.

Thanks,

HA, I don't believe there are enough centuries in a millenium for your wife to get you trained but good luck to her anyway.

All joking aside, John is a stand up guy and you can count on him for a straight answer. We all just pick on him cuz we like him so much.

There are companies that will allow you to train her although they may want you to get 8-12 months of recent experience, Panther is one that will allow this.
