    I don't get it, if you are an O/O, just plop her in the seat. Many companies encourage husband/wife teams today, unless you can't handle the old lady,,,just kidding, I'd have to think, she's just like adding any driver to your truck and would escape all the company mumbo-jumbo. I may out of the loop, but I'm not sure if a company hiring an O/O really cares who drives the truck, as long as it's legal, or they'd hire their own drivers. I had that gripe with the guy I was leased to. If he'd complain about something, I'd say, "if you don't like it, buy a truck and hire your own driver". That usually shut him up. I'd rather show wifey myself( not that it applies) than some trainer .

    FFE in Tx allowed spouses to train spouses. You can call them & see if they still do.

    “Training the wife...”

    What make believe world are you living in?

    But, I do know Landstar will let you train your spouse as long as she goes through an accredited school to get her license.
     
    Coffey and NavigatorWife Thank this.
