    Spend some time researching the companies you're interested in using the search function on this forum. There is a wealth of information on all of them.

    Do you and your wife have your cdl already?
    What is US Express offering you?

    Just jump on something and get it done. Get 12 months experience then switch to Old Dominion where you may make $225K.
    Ignore FaceBook and take either of the offers from US Express, CFI or Stevens.

    I agree with chinaman, facebook has no value. I don't use it. (I did experiment with it only to discover certain impacts that really is not worth it.)

    Get your time done, then team up and RUN. It's really difficult to train two people to team with seperate trainers but it has to be done. You two are going to have to find a happy compromise to run together after this is over.

    Piss on those #### autos. You will get lazy. Maybe discover limitations on downgrades.

    Now that I got that out of my system, do try to get a manual truck any way you can but loose. States put a restriction these days against you if you drove a auto...

    Now I had a auto for a year and what a truck. but... it will be the one time in my cursed life that I will sing the praises of rockwell, meritor and big dog detroit.

    THREE in a cab? Yeesh.

    Theoratically it's super truck, bust the Elog until it runs dry on power. Three truckers with enternal logs that never have a stop time.

    Three in a cab.. erk... ahem.. that's not for me.
