Whatever You do, keep it mind that kids will be kids only once...

Best wishes in Your endeavours!

 

My opinion is why push your kids off on your parents? That's kind of heartless.

 

I currently work for covenant. There has been alot change going on with the company....in a good way.
Recently they came out with a $1000 a week guarantee if you have 1 year experience. Havent made less than $1000 week so havent ran into that problem so far.
My hometime has been okay. They got me home on christmas and thanksgiving day last year. Nice bonuses they give out during the peak season.
If you have an a-hole fleet manager then your life will suck. I had one of the best managers in the company so thats why i have a favorable view of this company.
Believe me there are definitely some upset drivers for covenant all because their incompetent fleet manager. Applies to any company you work with

 

I think you two will do good at any company whether its covenant or not.

 

Got nothin for ya.. dishin the kids off on the parents is the most selfish thing a parent can do.."it takes a village" is a liberal cop out to allow crappy parents feel good about their selfishness I guess..

 

Well, I can tell you that you'll be the best looking truck driver I've ever seen....

But I'm gonna go with the old saying. Lock yourselves in a bathroom for 24 hours. If you both make it out alive, you'll be a great team. This job isn't for everyone, but if you want it bad enough, it'll come for you. As for covenant, I don't know much about them. But do yourselves a favor. Stop and look around occasionally! There's a lot of beautiful places along these highways. Sharing them will make it a lot of fun. Good luck guys and keep us posted!

 

I dont agree with pushing your kids off on people to come into trucking. Do you know how many of us strive to just get that home daily job, so we can be with our family?
I just don't care much for the "new age" parents. You had the kids willingly.. Stay home and raise them. It isn't the grand parents place to raise your kids. Call me old fashioned but as a parent.. I can't see letting money interfere with my kids.
Besides.. You already said you make a years salary in 3 months.. Why not grow that into double the salary in 3 months? Then your both set.. Not driving a cramped truck, taking showers in strange truck stops with weird crap stuck to the walls, eating microwaved veggies and most likely having a camera staring at you 24/7 while having a electronic nanny box tell you when to sleep and drive.

 

Good Luck.
