Covenant might... I think they do teams only.
I'm fairly certain that covenant trains spouses together. Give them a call and ask.
CFI might. Give them a call. They are actively seeking teams.
I'm am new to this and really interested. My question is regarding to team driving. Is there anyone out there that can tell me if they know of a company or companies that train husband and wife together,in the same truck at the same time?
Thanks y'all for answering my question . Very. Much appreciated.

Try Old Dominion Freight Line. It's an LTL company and you guys could be pulling in annually $200,000 gross together. I believe teams are now over .70 cpm per driver - yes, not split between two drivers. Bookoo bucks and home every week. It all depends on where you live, i.e. if you have an ODFL terminal nearby. No customers, all drop and hooks ... the beauty of team linehaul.
Man, I sound like a salesman.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
LTL:
Less Than Truckload
Refers to carriers that make a lot of smaller pickups and deliveries for multiple customers as opposed to hauling one big load of freight for one customer. This type of hauling is normally done by companies with terminals scattered throughout the country where freight is sorted before being moved on to its destination.
LTL carriers include:
- FedEx Freight
- Con-way
- YRC Freight
- UPS
- Old Dominion
- Estes
- Yellow-Roadway
- ABF Freight
- R+L Carrier
Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Drop And Hook:
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.
