    I am trying to get my CDL so I can team drive with my husband. We obviously, are trying to make this as seamless as possible. He already has his CDL A and dorver 5 years ago. The only company we can find to help us is Schneider, however they are very wishy washy about being able to find me a female trainer to do the over the road training part. Anyone know of the availability of female OTR trainers? Or any better schools out there?

    Um, if your husband is already driving, why not just hook a ride with him.( if allowed) You'll get all the experience, and then some, stuff you'll never learn in school.
    Note: there are very few, if any, female trainers for obvious reasons. Some of the men they train are pigs.
     
    Team R Drivers and Lonesome Thank this.

    There are few woomen trainers. SOME women decide to train with a man NOW rather than wait some indeterminate period to get a female trainer. I have never heard of any company with more than just a few.

    He drover but has been off the road for the last 5 years and no company will let him be my trainer. So, he'd have to work and wait on me either way. Thanks!

    I messed up the reply so I apologize for a duplicate .He stopped driving OTR 5 years ago and is trying to jump back in. Seems like no one will let him do my training

    CFI - www.cfidrive.com is female friendly and probably can help you. Can probably team you with your husband after you finish training and can probably run him through a refresher course. This company has a very good reputation overall.

    We have gone over a lot of schools, and there is a local one here which would make my life easier, but I dont have the 4K so I will likely have to go to Schneider. I am stressed about being apart for 5 weeks, since we are newlyweds. I suppose I am overreacting, but I was formerly a social worker in a nursing home... this entire experience is new for me. Thanks for all the advice everyone.
