    Sounds like the main problem was getting into a lease when he didn't know the business......a bare minimum would be a year...or more before even considering a lease. It's a business and in any business starting out....you NEED CAPITAL set aside for the lean months....No Capital set aside is a sure way to fail not only in this....but starting out any new business. I know when I show up for orientation soon, they will try to push the lease on me....I'll tell them, thanks...but no thanks. I'll revisit this in a year and then I'll let them know I'll revisit it in another year....and so on!! I'll be happy being a company driver....let them worry about all the expenses of trucking and just let me see the direct deposits!!!

    Really??? Policy is no one pushes leases. If anyone puts the strong arm on ya, you let one of us know so you can get that person straightened out.

    I don't even think they do that. Least I never have heard them doing that. But I could be wrong.

    Dont even have to decline... You just stay in the company classes when you upgrade.

    I never heard anything about "ya gotta lease" while on the company side - except what a lousy deal driving on the company side was from my trainer. Heh! Mostly used him as an example of what NOT to do... including his advice about driving on the company side. No one from management ever approached me about it.

    If you REALLY want to lease, just ask, there's a load waiting to get you to Springfield!
