    Are you & your husband in a position where you could purchase a truck to be an O/O team.
    Do that for a couple years and bank some cash, then if you don't like it, do something else.

    Well we have called all that you suggested (thanks again) and it looks like Abilene is a top runner, I'm still researching. Pride looked awesome but they wouldn't allow him to train. I know once I get at least 90 days of seat time we can be more picky. I have a 3 year plan! :) any other suggestions are appreciated!

    Abilene is a good choice. Wish I had choices like that when I started driving.

    Thanks again Chinatown, I can already see how valuable this site is, it also helped me pass all of my testing. I'm looking forward to putting my two cents in here and help who I can. Life is a twisting stream and you never know what the next turn will bring....I will post again when we decide, hope to stay in touch!

    Wouldn't suggest them but we'll neither of you would be under contract... he could become a trainer after 30 days with the company.... and the only one I know.... england.... don't bother asking your husband though he probably say HELL NO lol
