    Probably so, but you're being paid for all miles the truck runs. You get paid for the miles you drive and also get paid for the miles your wife drives. Same for her.

    I was overseas when my Father died. The Navy flew me home for the funeral. He was an Army vet with 5 yrs. in but was wounded in North Africa during WW2 and that ended that career.

    Have you checked to see if The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program will fund you and your wife's CDLs? You two could have it all taken care of free.

    The insurance companies will know about any accident if ANY INSURANCE COMPANY, NOT JUST YOURS, SPENT ANY MONEY BECAUSE OF IT. So do not attempt to lie or forget when completing an application. Answer THE EXACT question on the application paying attention to time periods or the word EVER.

    Lying on an application is a firing offense, even if what you lied about would not have prevented hiring you.
     
    Turdzthaword Thanks this.
