    We just got our CDL licenses here in Ohio (with T N H endorsements) and currently looking for a good company (that would train) to start with as a team. What would be your recommendation ?

    We also would love to get advice from current team drivers: which items are the must have on the truck, how to manage driving schedule, and tips to be successful in team driving.

    Covenant Transport trains husband/wife teams together in the same truck.
    They'll probably hire you since you have hazmat endorsement, because they require that.

    Quest Global might cut some slack on their 3 mos. experience requirement for a team. They prefer to hire a team that knows each other.

    Pretty much always hear Covenant sucks. Hear great things about Quest but like China says they require experience but they are worth a call. May Trucking hires new teams also.and are good to start with as well.

    The big plus with Covenant is they train husband/wife teams together in the same truck. Trucks are set up for 3 people. Some husband/wife teams don't want to be split during training.
    Don't know what Quest Global policy is.

    thanks for the info. yea, they said they would train a team altogether which is kind of neat. I guess the trainer would sleep on the passenger seat ?

    Probably have bunk beds; ask the recruiter about that. Most team trucks have double bunk sleepers.

    They all 3 go on the road together? I can't imagine by the 3rd day how that would play out.
