I was talking to one of the instructors at my private CDL school today about good companies for husband wife teams. I told him I was looking at USX or Covenant for my wife and I and he said that neither of those two companies, from what he hears from previous students and his knowledge of the business is that they don't give as much mileage to their times as most would like. He suggested the following companies
Conway
Total Transportation
Schneider
Western Express
What say you?
PS if you decide to give me positive or negative feedback to any of these please qualify your statement!
And I'm open to suggestions of other companies not listed
company for husband and wife team
