Prime student

As I'm sure most anyone on this forum will tell you, the last thing a new student driver needs to worry about is leasing a truck. There is so much more that goes into leasing a truck that someone just coming into the industry really has no business attempting. Stick with company for a couple of years, and if you feel you'd like to try out the lease, then go for it. But you honestly could probably make more staying as a company driver.

Not saying it isn't possible for new drivers to succeed in a lease, but the failure rate is so high for a reason...

 

To answer your question no he doesn't get anything extra if you go lease... he may just think you have what it takes to make it . Or maybe he is so happy he is making it he wants others to know about it. What ever the reason don't let him pressure you into it . If it's not what you want yet don't do it till your ready to

 

Misery loves company...

 

Go with your gut instincts.

 

He (the trainer) is a paid recruiter. He will get some sort of finder's fee if you sign on just as someone gets a hiring bonus if they recommend another driver. Don't let anyone kid you, he get's some money. stay away from lease deals. They will not fire you if you refuse.

 

Probably just being kind to you.
