The other thing is.. you actually asked for help in convincing him to ride with you. Why would you want to hinder him like that, if you say he's wanting to drive?

Oh, i didn't mean to make it sound that way! We've been planning and looking forward to that for a long time. He's got a ton of vacation saved up for it.

Thank you for the input! You've given me a lot to think about.

Actually, I like the idea of me getting experience with my company then moving on to where he is. That sounds like the best option.

Hi! I'm a new OTR driver right out of training and my boyfriend has decided to go for his license so that we can eventually team together. He'll be taking his permit test next week and then coming along with me as a rider.

That said, we are trying to find options for his schooling that will minimize our time apart. My schooling took 6 weeks, and my orientation+training at my company was 6 weeks. So it's already been a hardship on us! We're in our 50s and not getting any younger, if you know what I mean. 🤣 It would be nice if I could train him at my company, but I'll need to have been OTR for 6 months first, and he'll need a job by that point.

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointing us in the right direction!
