Is there a website or area within this website that has other husband and wife teams? I would like to know how they deal with the day to day things, and if there is any thing in particular that the wife needs to know to be in the trucking industry?

I'm going to school next week to team with my hubby with CFI. There is a team that have a website it's thomandkaren.com. I think that Karen quit driving now but they have previous posts for the two of them.

The ThomandKaren website is closed. As far as I can find, I have not been able to find any couple driver sites or even subjects within a site.

I would love more information as well

I leave this week with my trainer (not my husband) and then after I finish my 4 to 6 weeks with a trainer, I will be teaming with my husband! But I can hardly find any information...

Did you do a search on here with the words "team or teaming"? This topic comes up frequently and there is a lot of good information in the archives.

ask away at anything about team maybe we could give you some insight. I have been on the road as a team with hubby for a year now the transition to the life style was a little touch and go in the beginning but we have settled into it fairly well now. A must for teams "GPS". This saves you from all kinds of friction trying to find that shipper especially if you are new!
Sleep deprivation???? No just bumpy roads it's hard to get used to sleeping while the other drives but it can be done.
Don't give up to soon. have seen a lot of couples quit before giving it ample time. :wink:
Good luck
