    I was wondering about Hummer. I looked up Grandview. Not a bad option but everyone is gonna be on ELDs soon.

    Nick Strimbu Inc. in Brookfield,Ohio is Teamsters and I think their teams run west coast.
    They hire new cdl grads. You and the wife can both be vested for a pension in 5 years.

    Thats awesome. Our goal is to team for a while and save up enough to buy a truck outright with some money put away for maintenance also. Then we will team for a bit with our truck and save up some more. Then if she wants she can stay at home or stay on the truck. Its up to her.

    I am waiting on the recruiter from Jim Palmer to call back. The only thing I think might be a problem is my wife has a 17 mph ticket thats a little over 2 years old. On their sight it says no tickets over 15 mph in the last 3. I dont want to have to wait until her ticket is 3 years old so I am hoping they or other companies will wprk with us on it. I also put in a request for a recruiter to call me from Hummer and J&R Shugal.
