Your husband will just need a little refreshing with a company, the then two of you can team.

I don't know if messila valley does teams or not, but you might check, I always heard good things about them and they had nice looking equipment.
If your husband has a good paying oilfield job, you may be in for a let down some. I bet a good oilfield job pays very close to as much as the average team does.

 

You might consider FFE as well.

After you get 12 mos. experience, look at line haul companies such as R&L Carriers in Utah.
Each member of the team can make from $125K - $165K per year.
Other line haul companies that pay similar are Old Dominion Freight Line and Estes Express.

 

I would suggest getting your cdl and driving with your husband for a few months. No place better to learn than from your husband.


You can also see if you two can get along in a small space for long periods of time before you husband quits a good job.


Yes it’s free but your experience learning from a 10 year vet is priceless.


And if he’s not an owner op then the advise is worthless.

 

Since you have a school start date; go ahead and do the "short applications" on the various websites now. Those companies might offer you a job contingent on successful completion of cdl school. Get the hazmat endorsement for sure; even refrigerated companies haul hazmat loads at times, such as paint or fingernail polish, etc.
Someone from the various companies will contact you and then you can explain the situation about your husband. I know Covenant Transport trucks are set up for training husband and wife at the same time.
Contact several or all those listed and find out what's the best fit.
