Profile For Pam In MN

Thank you for the info!!

My company has several husband/wife teams. You will get trained separately from your husband, then you will be put together to team. The teams at my company tend to get the newer trucks. But with you being brand new to driving you probably won't get one off the factory floor. My company does Dry Van and some reefer. All of our trucks have auto oilers and automatic lube systems. Some trucks have APU/EPUs. Our trucks our governed at 63, but if you achieve and maintain a certain mpg you will get turned up to 65. I believe the fleet is very well maintained. If there are issues, they get them fixed right away. The older trucks, that are fixin to head to resale, are 2012 models. The entire fleet are Freightliners. I do not exactly know what teams get paid. Other than that I would be happy to answer any questions.

Btw, I drive for H.O. Wolding. They are based out of Amherst, WI. Fleet is around 350 trucks and they only have a single terminal.

Drive Safe and God Speed.

Ok so here's the deal. My husband has 1 year experience and I have zero - I'm planning on going to CDL school this spring. I've gone with him a few times for 8-10 days each time. I love being on the road with him. We'd like to team. Our home base is Minnesota as you could probably tell by my profile name. We've looked at some of the biggies because they take drivers w/o experience but hubby not too excited about going to a big company. He currently drives for an owner operator, speed limited @ 70, and gets paid 40cpm. He is worried about some of the biggies not getting us the miles and some of the issues they have (speed limiters, cameras, poorly maintained equipment, etc). I'm looking at USXpress because they will let him train me, but open to company trainers. Are there any big or small companies you experienced drivers can recommend for husband/wife teams who are willing to work and be out for several weeks at a time? Our kids are grown so we aren't concerned about home time as much. Please and thank you!!
