Need Advice

If you want to team with your husband, you might give Covenant a call. Another would be US Xpress. Both are based in Chattanooga, TN. Most carriers who do training will require you to sign a contract where you agree to work for them for a certain amount of time or repay the cost of your training. For most training carriers it is 1 year. CRST did only require a 6 months commitment at one time. Other carriers who do training that you might check with are Millis and Roehl. I believe Millis has a training facility in Cartersville, GA, just north of Atlanta. I would think that all of those companies that I mentioned would hire out of West Virginia.

To be truthful, you can hear negatives about any carrier. I always take anything that is said about any carrier with a grain of salt. If you live near a truck stop, you might consider going by and spending the day and talk to drivers about their company. See who is coming into the truck stop. Most drivers are willing to talk with you and share their experience with you.

Starting out, your most important goal should be to get your CDL and some experience. These CDL schools mostly just train you enough to get your CDL. The real training comes once you get on the road. You should also be aware that you and your husband may be required to train with different trainer for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months before putting you together. Once you get a year or two of experience behind you, both of you will be able to go pretty much anywhere you wish.

One other thing, if you do go by a truck stop, you might pick up some of the trucking magazines. They are full of recruitment ads. Good luck.

 

Everyone's a freak on here, stranger. Lol

But seriously all are here to help.

 

Averitt has teams but you just don't see or hear much of them. Also I have made quite a few runs with them to WV on TL. On TL I pretty much only run 31 States. Give them a call.

 

To see the entire Millis training I wrote a forum I dont know how to link it but I think you can just search it under the training area...
