Getting started as a Team: Newbie with Experienced Driver

My boyfriend has his Class A and I have been thinking about jumping from my job into a truck with him. We have done some research and right now I am working on studying to get my permit. Since we are not 100% sure this will be right for me and us we have decided to go the Class B route. We have found a company that is willing to have Class B permit drivers in a team. Then when the permit driver gets her license you are a full team. Has anyone else gone this route? Tips/ideas/thoughts?

More info about what we have worked out so far: I am also going to get my hazmat. We are looking at time frame of April so I can save some money beforehand. In february get the paperwork sent to be able to take the permit test, and all that. First week of March get the permit and make a trip to the company office/terminal. Also talking to owners to find out what is available when up there. Find out just how a training team works. (I was told 14 hour days with all could be driving: me 11, him 3) So that way I have my 3 on clock not driving and 11 on clock driving.

Thank you for any tips/ideas/questions/thoughts!

Another newbie going for my license

I am in a different situation in that I am looking to get my Class B and not my Class A at this time. My boyfriend has his class A and we have found a company that will hire on a Class B team with one teammate in training. (ME!). Right now I dont have the money for school to go for a class A. Plus he wants to make sure that being on the road is for me before spending the money for school. I am looking to get my permit in late March and be on the road with him early April. Anyone here drive a straight truck? I have been studying and reading all I can here and other places. Any words of wisdom?
