    Your husband can make over $100K as a solo driver with Trimac Transportation in their Elite Fleet. They also run teams and hire new cdl grads.
    Your inexperience will not be detrimental to him.

    So far, you have a good list to look at for teaming:
    Trimac Transportation
    Old Dominion Freight Line
    TWT Refrigerated Service
    Freymiller
    Abilene Motor Express

    Thank you! Great news. We have alot to pray about. We will check into all of these suggested companies. Since we live in oklahoma, if these companies don't have a yard here, we are out of luck, correct?

    Not out of luck. The terminal can be in any state and still hire from your area. Home time is based on company policy, not where a terminal is. Majority of companies you take the truck home or to a safe place near home.

    Short answer is -

    On the right path through the lady obtaining CDL, the husband gaining OTR experience, with ODFL $175-$$225k is easily achieved.

    Experience gained, records kept clean, and hard work applied, its achievable.

    Nope... a good company will get you hometime and no yard need to be around. Ask if you are allowed to take the truck home for hometime.
