New to lease purchase

If you only want to lease so that you and your friend can ride together then don't do it.
You can do that as company driver.

 

I lease with Henderson Trucking as solo driver. Been here since november 2015. They pull Prime trailers. I was formerly with TransAm as company driver.
Prime has loads to all 48 states. They have a lot on trainer/traninee teams. The loads they give HT are only good for solo. All our teams have left. So your best bet will be check out Prime forum. Prime offers me coast to coast runs but I turn them down. I like short runs that pay well.

 

Swift will allow you to lease and train your S/O after he has completed the school.

 

Don't do it Becky

 

Celadon will allow you to train him as well. No company will let him jump in a truck with out otr experience. Just talk to your company and ask if they have a student trainer program. If not, celadon does have it. You could train him and they pay 75 percent of the load for owner op

 

In current market leasing is a suicide. Let's say even if you live in the truck and do make it happen, in a 3 years that paid off truck will be out of warranty and start breaking down. You guys better off saving money, buying your own good used truck and go as true owner ops

 

Exactly don't lease!!! Not right for you at all. If this works between you and your bf teaming you will have the revenue of a team WTF will you need to lease someone else's capital for, you won't. You've said he has no otr experience he may not like it for all you know. Have you thought about just giving teaming together a try as company drivers while you become prepared to buy?
