new team driver question

My husband and I will be completing school very soon, and were told by our instructer that he had a company willing to hire us immediately. The catch is this company wants us on only if we do a lease option with the their truck. I have read so much about how bad it is for a new student to do this and to absolutely run the other way. What I want to know is, will it make a difference in the lease option success being that we will be team driving versus a single driver? I don't want to ruin our careers before we're even out of the gate, but it's looking like this is our only option. I am trying to make an educated decision, but I have found no info on new student team drivers in a lease purchase scenario. Any advice appreciated.

 

we are told a late model 2007, but have not been given specifics other than the company name, and that the truck would be a condo cab. The reason for options is that due to extreme extenuating circumstances, we will have our son with us, no choice on that. That's why its a lease agreement with this company, and we will each have a training period (obviously) to achieve before we are to go on our own as a team.

 

I understand. The company is aware of our son's age, and it is within their policy. Thank you for the link, I will be looking at that info now.

 

you have it exactly right. Because of him we are limited. I have done some research on the company, and that in itself scares me, however like I said, all bad things I have read have had to do specifically with single drivers as opposed to teams. Seeing as how we would be together, home time becomes almost a non issue. I'm looking into home schooling my son as it is anyway (we are unhappy with the school system he is in as it is) so that is also a non issue. I am enrolled in college, but, again, my classes are all online. I don't have dreams of getting rich, we simply want to earn a living, be together as a family, and be able to get by. I want to inquire about the company as well to see if I get any positive feedback about that as well, but I'm not sure if I can post their name here or not.
