    My boyfriend has 5/6 years of driving experience and I'm a recent driving school graduate. We want to team drive together. We've been doing research and would love any suggestions or input from anyone who has experience or knowledge. Any suggestions on who are the best companies for teams?
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I found my first trucking job thru craigslist, look thru the transport section, try finding a smaller company. Let @Chinatown know your area, and he will come up with some recommendations. A lot of companies do team driving to some level, even if they don't advertise with the word team. You having no experience is the biggest challenge you will face, but hey, you have a ready trainer!

    FFE (Frozen Food Express) - teaming on the "plasma account" can pay each driver of the team about $80K per year.
    @TravR1 works there and can verify this.

    @rachi - mentioned Covenant Transport. Hazmat endorsement is best for this team operation.
    Several husband/wife teams that post on here drive for Covenant and post it's a good place to work.
