O/O with student wife question?

Hello all,

Can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere so I will throw it to the forum and see what I get back.

I have been driving for 18mo's now and still love driving truck,,,I know, hard to believe but, I do. Anyway, it took me a year to get my wife in the truck and when she finally came out on the road with me, for two weeks, she loved it. My plan since day 5, or so, has to get my own truck and the wife and I run as a team. She likes the idea and Lord willing all will work out that way come 2011 sometime, after I get back from Iraq, or wherever I go. I will be able to save up enough money to buy a truck when I get back and, if I buy one while on orders, it will be tax free. My wife will attend a college nearby for her CDL training.

My question is this: will she fall under my authority or the company I lease to? Will she have to go through the company training, ride with a trainer for whatever time and than be able to be my partner or will she be considered my employee and not have to go through their training?

Thanks for any incite to this question,
SGT Hill

 

The cost for the CDL will be covered by the Military but, none of this will be done until I get back from Iraq. I would love to buy a truck now but no can do.

So being an I/C isn't just straight across the board for all companies I might lease onto?

 

Hey thanks Josh.c
Could you fill me in a little more what you mean about the taxes? I know what an MC# is but don't you just get that when you get your own authority?

Thanks for support brother...
