    Hey ladies and gents,
    My name is Chris i have posted a few times before but im most likely going to be getting behind the wheel again come this spring. My wife has decided to join me when im finsihed my "refresher" course. I guess my question is what company would be best for me to look at for a decent pay scale and also not a killer refresher? I was thinking maybe PRIME or SWIFT but i have been out of a truck for about a year now and in the spring it will be about 14-15 months. So any IDEAS? Please Give me some suggestions. that would be GREAT!

    Is your wife going to be a passenger or team driver?
    Best money is with a refrigerated carrier.
    Your profile shows you've driven 0-1 year and not driven for 14-15 months, so you're basically just starting over.

    Check these companies, all 27 of them, for refresher plus team or passenger for your wife.
    CLICK HERE for a list of trucking companies that hire new drivers

    Also check drive4marten for passenger and/or team.

    You will probably enjoy a new company along with having your wife with you. My wife loved going with me 48 states. Did the reefer thing so had plenty of money lumping my own loads. Best wishes and welcome back.

    Pick a company with aPU's. Even Schneider is limiting idling. Don't be uncomfortable.
