    Well First real Post so here goes....

    Im in Florida and the wife had to go to California due to Mother. Looks like were going to Redding Ca. She has my Son and one kid and i have the older one whos all honors. Staying in Fl. Due to her school Scolors and my Retirement. Cant retire till Nov. Not much but its something when i hit 62. Im 34 now. And a Fire Rescue Dispatcher now.

    So on with the questions. I and a friend of many years think team driving is for us. Hes single BTW. Boath have clean DL. And Criminal. So Govt. Contract Driving is not a issue. DOD or DOE would be fine with us. We almost prefer them.

    Anyway we were thinking teaming to do the West to East coast runs. With us keeping the wheel on the truck Rolling 24 hours.

    1. If we take a Certified school to get the CDL with Hazmat and Tandem. Will we be wanted by companies or O/O's? I have had a hazmat before.

    2. Howmany runs do you thinik we could do in 1 week. kinda looking to be home 2 days a week? We could Run 7 days and be off 2 in Home?

    3. How Much weekly Pay do you think we could Pull as Newbie Drivers?

    4. know any Northern California Companies?

    5. Do you think Were dreaming and should put the crack pipe down?

    Thanks for any Info Help or "WHAT ARE YOU NUTS" answers.

    DOD or DOE probably will not happen in the first 2 to 5 years of your driving career. Any thing that is very sensitive the companies want to see plenty of experience.
