Not Sure What to Do To Get STarted

Maybe find a company that offers refresher course and will let him train you. See @Chinatown

 

What roadblocks are you hitting so we can give you some advice.

 

In your situation I would get with a company that allows him to do a refresher course because he has the experience & you're studying for your Cdl during this time. It might be tough financially (I don't know your financial situation). It's crawling before you walk because you both are starting something new. My wife and I going in that direction right know. I'm training her because we have our own truck. Be patient and map your plans out it will work out. It does take some research trying to find the right company fit. I hope all the best for the both of you.

 

I can't say which ones but some of those companies will allow you to become trainers after a few months. I clearly understand your situation not saying there are not good women and men teachers in trucking. It's a joy to "dectiate" (I mean teach) my wife lol. One company we looked into that we were going to sign on she would only do local runs for 4 months because she doesn't have the experience but we are going to take care of that.

 

My company, Britton Transport, allows riders for free and I think they are a decent company. They have a short orientation as well. They are a medium sized company but still small (115 trucks or so I think). After a year with them I bet they would allow him to train you and you could convert to team. Website is Brittontransport.com. Best wishes to you both!

 

Many companies won't make someone a trainer until they have been a trainer before and/or they have been with current company 6 months to 2 years.
