First of all ,if you are goin to run under your own authority ,as a "New Entrant" with your experience not many insuranse companies will take you ,and those who will will charge you a significant amount jut for Liabity ins.
To lease under someone else's authority you are goin to need at least 2 year experience most companies that do not required experience are nothing but driver mills.i sugest you do some research on insuranse requirements and Companies that will lease you equipmet or let you bring your own truck.

Finance a truck through a dealer that has cheap monthly payments. Like $700 a MONTH . That way you can take the truck to another company to lease on with. I seen people do that at Schneider. Companies think about company drivers first and owner operators second. Your miles might not be enough for a big lease truck payment because of the economy. Used fleet trucks have a maintenance record . You never know what your going to get with a used owner operator truck

Through my stubbornness and pride I took a difficult route getting to where I am. But I am proof that it can be done with out taking refresher courses or any CDL school.

And you can lease your own truck on under another companies authority with less than 2 yrs. Several people here on TTR have expedited their route to becoming an O/O with minimal actual experience. I myself bought the truck I have now after only 15 months after getting my CDL reinstated.
I can not remember who it was,.. maybe someone else can help me out here. But we have a guy who got his CDL on his own,.. and went directly to O/O with his own authority after not being able to find anyone to hire him. And according to him,.. he is actually doing quite well.

Hind sight is always 20/20.
How ever,.. if your husband had none or minimal experience before going after his CDL and choosing this career path, it was probably in his best interest to get some kind of training before actually taking the reins so to speak.
