    In my quest for some hands on........ozark gave me a pre app today. 14.5 cent for every mile truck moves while im in with a trainer for 3-4 weeks .then .35 a mile when I get my rig. What do you think? After all im just looking for the experience until I work out my o/o with the c/x. Also heres another question.when I finally get it all going my wife will be on board with me when im o/o. If she only has her permitwill I be able to get any extra miles with her driving or do I have to be on duty? I apologize for the rookie questions in advance.

    I doubt a company would let her drive without an actual cdl. But I could be wrong.

    its the same as you driving with out her, you get no extra time or miles as your on duty not driving while she is driving under her permit. To be legal you must be in the passenger seat supervising her driving at all times... Oh and another thing to stay legal you cannot have any nookie until she passes all test and receives her cdl...
