Pros
If you are going to ( SUB ) lease a truck, they love you and cut your needed 60 day training to 30 days. If you are a OTR trainer they love you, you train drivers to support the new people in the lease trucks as second seat drivers @ .13 per mile, after your 60 days of training.
Cons
You can not make a living @ .13 per mile and pay back the school loan, feed your self, pay your bills @ home. If the drivers truck has there70 hr. limit and they are going home, the second seat driver gets to stay in the truck for the 35 hr. shutdown.I would hope knowone would get an indpendent driver like I did!! 1,200,000 miles, orignal exhust, schocks, dirty cab and sleeper, and a dog that I got to sleep with !!! wet or not.( For some reason company driver positions are very hard to get. They have hundreds waiting for company trucks, but gess what there all second seat drivers in lease trucks!
