    Only for the circumstanes that you stating CRST will let you train your spouse. If you have recent verifiabl experience OTR your wife would get her CDL from there school and then orientaion you would also have to do a lead driver class (2 days) and then out on the road.

    I have been training for over a year and it works for me here.......

    Due to BAD boys I'm editing my post.


    If you go to work for Swift, and you're going to team drive; they will allow you to complete your OTR training and then take the mentor course so that you can be your wife's mentor. You don't have to wait the usual time limit to become a mentor if you're going to be training your team partner.


    *sits grumbling about men rolling in gutters and making naughty things out of Nana's posts*

    You bad men make me miss my big brothers so much I could just cry!
