Left a 35+ year career in the copier and printer repair and sales field. It was great fun, BUT my knees were starting to get tired of doing squats all day long. Hopefully I and my wife will be starting driving school in January 2019 down in Texas. We are looking to team drive and have been traveling with a 5th wheel around the western U S. I am also an Air Force veteran and have heard that is a plus. We both drive sticks all the time so should be no problem there. Still looking for more information on the best driving schools/companys for Husband/Wife team driving.

I have read the book cover to cover(online) and we have been trying to educate ourselves on the different schools. So far Texas looks like where we would like to relocate to, So a school and company located there would be what we think we want. We want to team drive so a company that values teams is a must. She wants to be sure we can drive together or this is a no-go plan. She is also worrying about passing the school,..but she did great in her schooling as a bookkeeper. Anyone go to any of the Texas schools lately? Any must avoid schools? Thank You for your time and Merry Christmas Garwin &Val

My wife have been discussing changing careers for a while with “ truck driver “ as our most likely option to do together. We have taken a year off from work and traveled the western states, spending lots of time in Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. We like to see the country and are looking forward to 10 more years of work before simi-retirement. She is 5’2” and worrying about the ergonomics of the simi’s seat. Our F250 is a 6 speed but to completely push the clutch in she has to scoot forward a little bit. Tiring in stop and go traffic. Other than that, she worries about the real small living space in the truck while on the road. Right now KLLM, Millis, & Swift are at the top of our list but several others are in consideration. I hope to get more input on different companies before we commit to one. Merry Christmas to you all and hopefully you can give us more things to think about.
