Husband single member and wife single member LLC in Florida

My daughter currently has a single member LLC and is an independent contractor and delivers snack products to grocery stores as a route owner in Florida.  Her husband is currently a W2 employee for another company but is about to quit and buy a separate grocery route to deliver bread.  They have been filing jointly with her Schedule C income and his W2 income.  The company they are delivering product for requires purchases to be as an LLC.  Would it be best for her husband to set up his own LLC and could they then continue to file jointly with two Schedule C’s and separate SE tax forms?

It’s their preference to keep tax filing simple and continue with the sole proprietorship format,  and keep the visibility of the separate businesses by using two separate Schedule C’s.
