I am a new student driver and will be starting with Stevens soon. I am considering Stevens Alliance Program down the road, and also being a trainer. Can anyone please give me the pros and cons of both the Alliance leasing program and also being a trainer.PHP:

You better learn to crawl before you can walk then run... You might not like driving, Steven's Alliance program is a POS rental aggreement. You NEVER own it you drive your butt off for NOTHING.. Do some research. You'll see I'm right.

NEVER LEASE A TRUCK!!!!!!! From a carrier, if you want to be an O/O go to a dealership and BUY a truck! You WILL fail a lease, thats what they are designed to do.....

Stevens is a good company, but in my opinion, unless you have alot of self run business experiance, you should stay away from leasing for at least a year if not 2.

It doesnt matter how much experiance you have, leases are designed for you to make the payments on a new truck for them, and you pay all the maintinance.....THEN when you fail they take your broken in truck and give it to a company driver.
Why would you want to pay $200,000 + for a USED truck that they only paid $80-$90k for?
They control how much you make.....You owe them money.....see the problem with that?
If you want to actully susceed as a O/O then BUY a truck, that way you can do what you want with it, you'll save a TON of money, you can take it to another carrier that pays better, and best of all YOU WILL OWN IT!
