On my way to C1 then PAM!!

good luck to you guys... remember the sources of horror stories and stuff like that. It is what you make of it and use the training companies for what they are... keep your license clean and never, never let anybody hurry you... ever. Safety first and keep a good following distance always.... trucking is trucking and all jobs have there ups and downs. Good luck.

 

Ah.... New beginnings! The serpitine back will mess with you, but in all reality... It is easy. Play it all over in your head to get a good mental picture... Evenif something is tough, then embrace the challenge, etc. To be successful in this biz, you will need to develope a sixth sense, meaning- trust your gut feeling. If something isn't right, then it probably isn't. You will get better over time, but never feel like you know it all.... It may be tough for a while, but keep your license clean and a good employment record & good days will come. Enjoy Truckette.

 

Don't worry about the money! As a husband/wife team you guys will be making gobs of it!!! I drove team with my wife and we did very, very well! The money though is just an added benfit, the memories and adventures you guys will have will far out weigh any money you make out there! Will last a lot longer too!

When choosing companies, make sure to find a larger company or a company that will keep a team busy. The larger the company the more trailers, the more trailers the more drop and hook! This = more miles/money you guys will make!

Holler at me if you need anything! I have no shortage of stories/advice for husband/wife teaming!

Good luck to you guys!

 

have you guys considred conway truckload?

 

Go sit at one of the rest stops and check out the trucks that comes and go. Maybe you will run into a friendly husband/wife team you can talk with!

 

Imo, you have the right attitude. Do the year and wave bye. Pam has some of the lowest team pay around. Would not surprise me if you make 70k together. But, there is good money in teaming once you get experience.
