    Which state/nearest city do you live in? Do you both have endorsements; hazmat/doubles-triples?

    You won't have any problem finding a company for teaming. Put some applications in and pick the best offer. Apply even to companies that you don't think will hire you.
    Here's a few to try that hire teams in El Paso. They all hire new cdl grads on a case by case basis.
    Kold Trans > Apply On Company Site
    Freymiller > Apply On Company Site
    Navajo Express
    Danny Herman Trucking > Apply On Company Site
    Abilene Motor Express
    Schneider Jet-Set Teams (2 seperate team openings) > Apply On Company Site and Apply On Company Site
    Chieftain - > Apply On Company Site
    Hirschbach > Apply On Company Site

    V3 Transportation > www.deosvia.com and www.v3transportation.com (2 separate jobs)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Celadon > www.driveceladon.com
    TEAMS EARN $.60 PER MILE!
    Celadon continues to put its drivers first with a new team pay package that gets more teams to the highest pay tier than ever before! Our top teams are taking home $3,000 each week (split) with lengths of haul that average 1,400 miles/run.
    Also, with the $8,000 of paid vacation you split, each driver earns 1 week off every 60k team miles. So you can take some paid time off from running all those miles or take the money and keep running, you get paid either way!
    Apply today and your team can also split our new $16,000 first-year team bonus. New Celadon teams split $4,000 every 50k team miles until they get their $16,000.
    With $24,000 in extra income your first year, long lengths of haul and plenty of miles to keep you rolling, it’s easy to see why driving team with Celadon is a great career choice!

    Community college CDL in NC is only $1800 and almost every company will reimburse you. Unless you are going broke, get your CDL outright. Posted before I saw you were broke. But if you're employed already I'd suggest this before getting stuck to Swift or any of the like.

    There are a good handful of companies in the Mt Airy, NC area that run team and hire fresh graduates. BSA, Cooke, WLA, Hardy Brothers and more. I wish I had a SO that I could team with .They most likely would put you both with a trainer for 6-8 runs then put you together.
    Posted before I saw your location .
