    We're both new to trucking and just graduated last week from CDL school. We wanted to go with Schneider originally because training was somewhat short and they said they'd train us together but they filled up the inexperienced position at the moment, so now we're searching but we're having a tough time deciding.

    We want to train together but there are few options for that (not too interested in covenant) so im curious as to what everyone's opinions would be for newbie team drivers in the phx area. Thank you.

    Thanks for all these, I'll be sure to check them out.

    I see a lot of Old Dominion posts on here when I read about teams, do they hire new grads or am I not in the hiring region?

    Also, does anyone have any experience teaming with these companies or heard anything about teaming with them and wouldn't mind sharing their thoughts?

    Yes, Old Dominon hires new cdl grads.
    Address: 2205 S 43rd Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85009
    Just got a popup that Old Dominion in Phoenix is permanently closed. You can check on that if you're interested.

    If a company doesn't train you and girlfriend together, you can train first, then bring your girlfriend on the truck and be her trainer. This is common practice with many companies.
     
    Bluedew and Nathanos Thank this.

    Hmmm Interesting... So right when im done with training I could train her or do I need 6 months exp? Either way I don't think I would do it though. Just getting through school made me realize me and her learn and teach in such different ways, we'd definitely clash.

    Any LTL outfit you bound to make good money. You and your significant other can apply and do linehaul runs.

    Good luck.
