    Looking for reccomendations on a team company. I have 7 years experience pulling van and flatbed and i also have all my endorsements but I do have a drug test refusal from 4 years ago with sap finished. Im driving now for a good company but they dont do teams. My wife is in CDL school and im looking to train her and then run together. We both have clean driving records and are out of central illinois. Any suggestions will help.

    How many drivers have you trained before?
    How much experience AT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER do you have?
    Does your current employer hire newbies, like your wife?

    That's more common than you think.

    I was expecting you to explain you have an attached twin with two heads who likes to do karaoke while driving, or that you have three arms and one leg, or something like that.

    My solution is to seek out a company that will allow this to happen, which is what you are doing (I can not offer a company, but China may), but an alternative is to seek out an owner who is leased to a company that will allow it. More likely, you will find a mega who will welcome you than an owner.
     
    Wargames, tscottme and lifeispeachy Thank this.
