What part of the county do y’all want to be based out of ?
I know of a company based out of Atlanta that has riders/ helpers that get paid half of what the drivers get paid , the rider stays awake at night to keep an eye on the cargo .
But you have to pass an extensive background investigation and have a clean driving , credit , and criminal record.
but they are home on weekends so you’d need a place to stay within an hour or 90 minutes of atlanta .Sirscrapntruckalot Thanks this. -
I think you will find most companies that pay driver helpers don't use sleeper trucks, but daycabs. Lots of daycab companies use the trucks night and day so there isn't an option of you living in the truck when you aren't working, some other home daily driver will use the truck.
I think you might consider not just one answer that gets your and her from outside of trucking directly to your dream job forever, but something acceptable to both of you now to get some recent experience and allow you to see the current industry from the inside and that makes her much more hirable and with her hirable and you with recent experience more jobs are available. You have such strict requirements I don't see anything less than a miracle getting you the job o make both of you happy. Lots of women are very very unwilling to try some new things until they have a trusted someone show them what the reality of that new thing is. IMO, the emotional part of a woman's brain is almost like the face-latching space alien in the movie Aliens. The emotions are powerful and spread across several areas of their brain where in men the emotional center is more confined and men learn to compartmentalize that emotion very very early and be brave or what not. If we had their brain we would have a much harder time controlling emotions. For example, if one of her closest girlfriends got a job driving a truck and did well at it, just having another woman she trust answer the 300 questions she has and seeing her friends do well would make it easier for her to imagine her doing it. Trucking is very hard to know much about until you get in it, which almost means having the job and the responsibility. YouTube makes it easier to learn than in the past but watching videos, even lots of them, won't make the experience real, just answer a lot of questions. -

How would you describe those companies you recommended? -
The household goods mover I mentioned, just had the driver helper would ride along all over the country to assist the driver in everything except the driving part. -

The moving company job I take it that they'd be looking for a straight-up meathead for the passenger position. I still might look in to it. What do you think is wrong with the driving aspect of that job? Trying to fit a 53ft trailer down residential streets? -
