Lease or company trainer?

I did not have a chance to pick if I wanted a lease or company psd or tnt trainer, prime picks them for you then they decide if they want to have you on their truck. That's a good thing not rushing into lease. Be company for a while, then decide. only thing different with lease is they teach you how to run a business and be profitable at it.

 

Try being a company driver first and make sure that you like the job and the company lives up to your expectations. I'm not a fan of a lease. If you do decide to leas e make absolutely positively sure that it is a walk away leas e.

 

If I understand his post correctly he's not asking for opinions on driving as a company driver versus as a lease driver.

Your trainers somebody that is going to be selected for you. You will be given whoever is available at the time. Whether or not he actually takes you on his truck is another story, and is generally dictated by whether or not you can follow directions or the two of you See eye to eye.

 

it really does not matter if you have a Lease or company trainer. We still load from the same customers. When I came to Prime I had a trainer already because the guy that trained me was a fellow Navy veterans and we served together in the Navy. So they will pick your trainer for you. You will not get a smoking trainer if you don't smoke. We just started to train opposite sex.

 

Trainers have a say in who they take on, as well.

 

Good Luck Driver.

 

If you are going company then it would best serve you to go with a company driver. You will learn from him what your job will entail. A lease operator works for himself so he/she doesn't go by the same rules as a company driver would. I've been there for the better part of 14 years and used to do psd training. Good luck.

 

not true if you are accompany trainer you really do not have the say.

 

Having just been through the TNT course, I can say with absolute certainty that Stan's policy is that trainers have final word on who gets on the truck.
