    Looking for good advice on a good starter company for teaming. Husband has 20+ years driving with only about 6 months OTR. Currently with Schneider. Wife just obtain CDL through private school.
    Recruiters are so vague when it comes to what to really expect.

    Unless you both just want to run the roads, look at Old Dominion Freight Lines.
    This company hires new cdl school grads. and each driver of the team can make avg. $125K.
    Will need all the endorsements.

    husband/wife teams are golden these days.
    There's plenty of other choices also with reefers and dry vans.

    Dot Transportation in Saginaw, TX.
    Various terminals have various positions available.
    Many have team operation positions that are no-touch freight and also cdl school tuition reimbursement.

    Class A Team Company Delivery Truck Driver
    Have a friend or relative you’d like to hit the road with? If so, team driving may be for you. As a team driver, you’ll mainly spend time behind the wheel taking freight to another Dot location or meeting other drivers at designated turn points to switch trailers, taking loads to Dot customers, and picking up loads from our suppliers. Team driving is offered as both no-touch and CDS positions.

    Teams?
    R&L Carriers
    All terminal to terminal 48 state. 75 mph 579. They pay good. Must have hazmat, doubles, twic (I think but maybe not). I'm pretty sure you need at least 1 year exp in OTR but teams are in such high demand it may be waived.

    Anyway - might be worth a look for you.

    Dock to Driver Training Program
    At Lynden, we are looking for candidates who want to learn from the ground up by working our docks while going to school to get the training needed to earn your CDL class A license.

    You'll have an assigned mentor and learn about Lynden too, so that when you get your license, you're ready to move into the driver's seat.

    We even pay the tuition at an accredited school of your choice.
