    288F5B77-806C-4438-83C8-02302758E10A.jpeg I’ve been rolling for about 17 years. Been a o/o and turned a lot of miles over the years. Been waiting for my kids to get grown so I could bring my wife of 21 years on with me. I’v been pulling doubles for Fedex ground as a lead and trainer for 4 years now. Do anyone here know of a good company that would train her for her CDL and then let me train her and still be able for her to clear at least $800 a week as a new driver and for me to be able to clear at least $1200 a week and still be able to get get home weekly?

    How about if she attends private school, then you both go with a company that will reimburse her tuition back to her. Trimac Transportation has some team jobs and you'd make much more than the $800 & $1200 you want.
    Old Dominion Freight Line will hire both of you after she graduates from a private cdl school.
    Both these companies are particular as to the schools they hire new cdl grads from.
    Where is your location?
     
    Barbeque and Dreazz75 Thank this.

    That’s what we’re going to do. Lining her up to start the week after we get back from vacation in June. I already have her a spot on this dedicated Fedex run with me set up.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    But there’s no openings for Old Dominion around Nashville right now from what I’ve heard from their recruiting. But I know a husband and wife team that use to run over here at FedEx where I’m at. They are clearing $3600 after taxes a week running from Nashville to Shreveport and back and home every weekend. Mannnnnnn that’s some really good

    Are you from Nashville? I'm from Robertson County.
    TLD Logistics in Crossville runs teams and hires new cdl grads.
    Rusty Dog Express in Lebanon runs teams; from my understanding; Nashville to California to Florida & back to Nashville every week.
    Yeah, that FedEx run may be the best since you're already running it.
