Husband and wife team starting with R&L Carriers

This last winter was mild on our route really. We didn't really have any real severe driving. In 17 we had a major ice and snow storm. It shut down I40 in Tennessee. We didn't feel safe driving so we called and told them we were shutting down til roads cleared. He said no problem. Call when you get rolling again. We stayed overnight in our Memphis terminal and when the sun came up we left again. We were goid until I 65 in Ky. It was shutdown south of Elizabethtown at Cave City Rest area. We pulled in there and called again. Again they said call when you get rolling again. Every time the road opened a truck would jack knife and it would close again. We were there overnight and the road opened at sunrise. We called when we got going and made it to Louisville. Took us 36 hrs to go 540 miles. All of our solo linehaul called in sick and our Terminal manager said we were the only ones running. Even the P and D guys stayed home. The interstate was open so we took another load all the way to Dallas and back because the whole Dallas terminal called In because of the sleet. It was good roads there and back. But anyways if you don't feel safe theu don't force you to run.

 

I'm not sure. Maybe call recruiting and ask them. I know we've had teams with one spouse inexperienced.

 

UPDATE
We got another cost of living raise last week. Our run went up 21 dollars from 351 to 372 dollars each. That's 105 extra a week for each of us! Couldn't be happier. Also I've been seeing a lot of new team tractors. Looks like they're going back to Internationals. They're not green though. They are every color. Haven't seen inside one yet but hopefully will soon. We like our Peterbilt but there have been a lot of engine problems.

 

They've been good to us. The other teams run into are happy and stay a long time. But I only see 2 or 3 out here because if our turn and burn
