“We also have a few man

de Wetter.
“Owning their own rig andsettii

De Wetter said Bekins appron
of the contract driving teamforsn
eral reasons:
“First of all a husband-and-wi
contract team are substantiallynnj
productive, and productivity is l|
name of the game in this oral

But aside from providing
semblance of the normal marrii
life, husband and wife teams hai
other advantages. "Often a wife

foot down too heavily on the

And he said the couple teamsai
good for the prosaic reason that I
wife usually has a better handwii

terrible lot of paperwork in
business. ”
De Wetter said Bekins was
pioneer in recruiting husband
