My wife and i are in our mid forties and have two kids in college. Since the kids now live away on campus we are looking to sale our house and become a trucker team. I have been looking at different ways to do this.
We have looked at expedite solutions.

The pro and cons of Expedite.
Pros
They are 70 miles from where i live.
We can become a team immediately.
Cons
The trucks are Class b therefor training is class B . This appears to limit opportunities greatly for any future changes. A class b license is worthless.
Their runs are only in the Midwest. My wife and i have had the same jobs and living in the same house for 17 years. We had discussed becoming truckers after our last child graduated high school to see the country. We have two kids in college so we still need money.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how me and my wife can stay together and become a team. We understand that for training we may need to separate and team with a trainer. What we don't want to do is separate for a long period of time. I am a weightlifter married to a women who is not very strong. She can drive but would struggle to load a truck. Would that stop her from being able to go through a school. As a team i would do all heavy lifting.
My wife and i have spotless driving records and a good long work history.
I know we would be a good hire. Anybody have a suggestion how to match a company and training with us. I live in Indiana
