    There's a few husband/wife teams on this forum that drive for Covenant. They like it and make good paychecks. Neither of them said anything about bedbugs or any other negative comments.
    Covenant pays for private cdl school and trains the husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend at the same time in the same truck. Trucks are set up for 3 people from what I've been told.

    I appreciate the honesty. I really do. I'm in the Houston, TX area.

    Yes, I admit I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger, and I kick myself in the head every time I think about them. But since my last ticket in 2013, and paying off all of my surcharges in 2015, going to college August of 2015 and graduating with my Associates degree in May of 2018, I've completely changed my life around. I've paid off every single ticket I've had so nothing will show up as open status, and nothing will show up in warrant status; my license is completely valid and has been for a year; I'm completely eligible and insurable to drive. So nothing is standing in the way in those areas. I did have my license and it was valid, and was eligible to drive from 2015-2019 when I had paid off all of my surcharges, but in 2019 my license was denied when I was ready to renew it because I still had the open tickets. So I stopped driving so the same thing didn't start all over again. I thought that they had fallen off of my record because they were so old.

    How far back do companies go as far as invalid driver's license tickets and no insurance tickets? Because the no insurance ticket is from 2009, and the last invalid driver's license ticket that I got was in 2013. Both are paid off. I've had insurance on my vehicle since 2015 with no gaps or lapses.

    They train at Lone Star College, and they are backed up until next year. That was the first thing I tried back in May before I started looking at going though training at one of the mega carriers.
