    Hello, I am hoping to find out some information about USX. My husband and I have been researching and following the forums for almost 2 years, and we will be finally starting CDL school in late March. We will be running as a team and have our sights set on USX!
    I read Musicgal's post about the new training rules and was wondering, if we are hired on by USX, after the 120 hours with a trainer, could my husband and I be paired together for the additional 8 weeks of required training? If this is not an option, we may have to rethink applying here.
    Also, any and all information you could give us, would be greatly appreciated!

    Sounds like it would be okay but you should get confirmation from a recruiter.

    CasinoGal, I shall try to remember and ask my Training Co-ordinator about this on Monday.....I would think that they would make every attempt to put students together in a way that makes sense...ie, husband/wife, smokers, nonsmokers, etc.

    You should check out expediting (FedEx Custom Critical , Panther ) . Some husband /wife teams have gone to a straight truck right out of school with no trainer . It would probably be best to have an experienced driver team with you for few months though .
    Wouldn't living in this be better than a USX sleeper ?
