Couple Interesting In Team Driving
Topic 4147 | Page 1
Company sponsored training is what I meant. I apologize
Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
Welcome to the site..
Since you both are interested, it'll make companies happy. They love team drivers, let alone spouse teams... Atleast thats what I read...
anyways, check out Company-Sponsored Training . Its got alot of awesome information on the sponsored schools.. Prime, Swift, CR England, Knight, Etcc....
Also check out How To Choose A School and High Road Training Program. The High Road is filled with tones of information. It'll help pass the writen tests.
and last but not least, Brett's Book.. Its a good read.
This site is filled with a bunch of helpful people. Anytime you have a question, just ask.
We live in Michigan and would like to stick around here until my son is 18, 3 years away
Might not be a good Idea for both of you to go if you still have a teen at home.. You'll both be gone for atleast 4 week + longer depending on your training and school. Trucking is really rough on familys. Especially if both parents are doing it as a team and gone all the time.

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

Hello. My husband and I have decided to switch career paths and try truck driving. He has a family member who done it for years and made really good money. We have no idea about this industry. I have a brother who is a driver but the school he went to is closed. That's one of our main questions, can anyone refer us to a good driving school. Preferably one that has paid training. We live in Michigan and would like to stick around here until my son is 18, 3 years away. I've read some horrific horror stories and don't want to be a victim to bs. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
