    I totally disagree with you.
    how is going on the road with her husband ruining his career ?
    I think it would be very helpful having your wife along to help you out with things on the road. and if she can drive also you double the income for your home. now if her hubby didn't want her to come along that would be different. but i don't see that from the post. they were many times when i was over the road that i would have give anything to have my wife by my side for love,comfort,company,sex,map reading and the whole nine yards. if he is all for it then i say go for it !

    OK great post. This could have been my husband and I. So why is this other guy condemning me for telling our experience with them before we signed on and even the fact we did find another company where even tho he is considered a 'student' still will make about $15,000 more than what TMC quoted him as a first year driver?

    And just curious, who would like to have their wife beside them when they are out on the road? seriously i would like to know. because if its no one then I tell you I must really be lucky to be loved so much.

    again good post!

    You are pretty good with the insults, is it any wonder TMC let you go. Years from now when you have made no progress managing your husbands career with the "true love" method maybe you will realize you should have stayed at home.

    Don't take my word for it. Why don't you take a poll? You need to back off and let your husband be a man.

    Because unless she is hired by the company with her own CDL she and he will be breaking the law and at the least, when the company finds out she is driving he will be fired. You don't see her husbands opinion in the post because he didn't post.

    I'm sure I understand more than you think. I don't want to get in a pi$$ing contest with you. You don't need to be distracting him in orrientation or out on the road with his trainer. This is something more disturbing that "true love."
