Husband And Wife Truck driver Teams

By Henry Harvey

A lot of trucking companies are searching for husband and wife driving teams . Trucking companies like these kind of teams for a number of good reasons , however the main reasons are when a trucker is happy they will run more miles , and stay out driving on the road longer . My wife and I have been driving as a husband and wife team since 1984 . We now have drove for the same company for the last 19 years , so we know the up's and downs of life in a truck.

Could you Live With Your Better Half 24/7 ?

When people ask us what we do for a living , they say how they could not live with their husband or wife 24/7 for four to five weeks at a time .Well there are plenty of us out here that can do it .

The Good Aspects of Driving As A Husband And Wife Team

1.Making A nice income

You will make good money , you will be paid for every mile that you run for a week . As a team you can run the truck almost 24 hours a day . We run 6400 miles in six days .

2. Being With The One That You Love

Back in the day when the phone were out in the open in truck stops I have seen grown men cry , when talking to their spouse on the phone . They were 2000 mile apart and they missed each other . Husband and wife teams don't miss each other, they are with each other 24/7 .

3.View the USA For Free

As a over the road trucking couple you will see places that you make have only seen in books . Yes trucking can be described as job , but you can enjoy a lot of things driving on the road .

As For Drawbacks Of Husband And Wife Trucking :

1.Kiss And Makeup

If you and your spouse can't kiss and makeup in a short period of time ,this is not for you . Misunderstanding are bad at any time , but when you're in a 8 by 8 room they can turn ugly extremely fast .

2.Lost Of Family And Friends

This is a real drawback , if you have close family and friends you won't get to see them on a regular basis . You may be on the road for 4 or maybe more weeks at a time . Often it becomes out of sight out of mind .
