Profile For Gayle C.

Christina G.—How Awesome that that you are beginning the same journey! It is such a huge change for both of us-hence all the questions. My husband has been a mechanic pretty much our entire marriage with the exception of his Navy years. And for me, the thought of doing life together now as we travel is exciting/scary. It is good to hear that there are others doing this very thing. What if any, options are out there for making income while being a “co pilot”? For those who have done it?

Right now the CDL permit is what he has, and he would be starting in a program most likely that would get him his CDL-job. We have been doing a lot of reading in the many forums and there is SO much information. Hard to know really which program would be the best fit—if our goal is looking for something in which I could then “retire” from healthcare to ride with him once he might be able to have a passenger. Is that something that is even feasible to assume can happen? Are there couples out there that have done this? What was your experience? If home time is not an issue because your spouse is with you, what does life look like on the road? How often do you go on “vacation” type trips?

Hubby now has his Class A CDL permit, looking to earn his CDL. Our goal would be to ultimately be at a place where I could ride along with him. Our kids are grown now. Any advice on companies that would be great to start out with? Any and all information is helpful
