    We are a younger couple thinking about getting our CDL and team driving. I would just like to know from experience the best place to get our cdl for the best price and also just general information about team driving and so on. Thanks

    Which state do you live in?
    Are you planning to attend a private or community college CDL school?
    Are you planning to attend a trucking company CDL school?
    The private or community college school gives you more choices as to companies to choose from and many states have programs to help with tuition.

    US Xpress is starting a CDL training program in January. It's a team company. My wife and I are very happy here.

    Spend some time in a 6x8 room with her, 24 hours a day, and see if you want to continue

    And team driving means that you will see a lot less of each other.

    The CDL training is going on at our Olive Branch, MS terminal(near West Memphis, AR) right now and will roll out to other terminals at some point in the next year or so.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Don't let anyone discourage you from trying something new if that's what you want to do. I think some people on here are trying to build up their stats by replying with stupidity. We are suppose to be here to help each other. Answer Chinatowns questions and I'm sure you will get the advice you seek. If you are both confident you can drive a truck, then more power to you both. I think that would be awesome if I could team drive with my wife, but it's not her thing and we have 3 young children. Good luck!
     
    scottlav46, TruckDuo and TBonze Thank this.
