Maybe. Depends on loads per truck. Some companies have more freight than they can handle, some have to broker, and some can't even do that, so their drivers sit. Only way to know about any particular company is to ask their drivers.
2.5 years or so. O/O for... 4 months. I love it. But it's tough, and stressful
Thinking about starting a career in Trucking. Is it for me?

My advice is to rearrange your life so that you can be with your family. Trucking is Last Resort.austinmike Thanks this. -
Has your FIL checked into how much it will cost to insure you as a new inexperienced driver? It's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. You will either work dirt cheap, or his profits will be taking a huge hit. Just something to think about.

But if you think tying yourself so closely to your father in law will be good for your family and your pride then do it.
I'll just say this. I've been driving for 4 years. The first two years I thought trucking was for me. On the third year became the hate. By then I was making too much money to bother making the switch.
But hey start trucking maybe it's for you like you saidToomanybikes Thanks this. -
In this day and age, it would most definately lower the cost. By how much? I wouldn't have a clue. But I would bet he would save nearly as much as school costs on his premiums in the first year. I have nothing to back that up. But I would still make that bet.
Brickwall Thanks this. -
