    Without sacrificing money?

    Good luck with that... :(

    Since the spouse is/will be a rookie -- you will very likely have to go with a "starter" carrier fleet -- & the corresponding paychecks.

    If Frey Miller numbers don't impress you enough -- shop around with other team fleets:
    • KLLM
    • FFE (KLLM's "sister" carrier)
    • Dot Transportation

    KLLM Expedited pays their team drivers a lot, fam. After she gets her CDL she'll have to go out with a trainer for 30 days, then you two will be able to team.
    Team's pay scale is usually based on the driver with the most experience so you two will probably start at 85 ¢ a mile split. Boyle pays their team almost as much as KLLM does. Kennesaw Transport is another a close third as far as pay goes. I would put DOT above Covenant Transport

    Questions:

    Do both of you have clean records, as in zero felonies? Hazmat endorsements? Security clearances? If you do, look into the companies that run the DOD loads. Perhaps @Chinatown knows of a few?

    I mentioned Boyle Transport in my post. They a haul DoD loads (military grade equipment) & medical supplies.

    If I were going to run team, even with my lady, I’d need a good reason. Mega carrier team pay isn’t a good enough reason. DOD would be.
