Profile For Stanley W.

What are some good questions to ask my mentor ?

What are some things to watch for?

Well that makes sense ! So I get to chose what I'm willing to pay my employee? And does you friend have a Facebook page ??

Stanley, in most cases you are still the person under contract on the lease. Most companies will have their lease set up so that you can hire another driver, but the settlement still goes to you and they will deduct out of the settlement the amount you have pre-determined with the payroll department to go to your driver. They are not a company driver, they are your driver and their pay comes out of your settlement check each week. The company must approve your driver - this is not a loophole that allows people who are not going to make the cut to get in. I happen to have a friend in this very predicament right now. He got approved to lease two trucks and the company will not accept the driver he was planning on employing. Your driver is a 1099 employee, as are you.

So would that be considered a company driver? Or my driver? And would I be able to go back to being a company driver ?

If you do the lease program, that means the truck is yours -- technically . So can you hire someone else to drive that truck before the truck gets paid off?

Is it possoble to pick up a codriver for a team run on occasion if you are a solo driver? Like on long runs OTR upon request? Or is it one or the other ?
