PacLease, through PACCAR Leasing, provides a comprehensive training program designed to support its franchisees in operating a truck leasing and rental business. These include both initial and ongoing educational opportunities across various operational areas:
Franchise Orientation This foundational training covers topics such as sales, lease pricing, contract administration, credit and collections, marketing, maintenance and warranty, insurance, fuel tax reporting, licensing, permitting, and administrative services. It is typically completed within the first three to six months after opening the franchise.
Annual Seminars These are conducted yearly and cover a range of leasing-related subjects. Presenters include managers and salespeople from equipment suppliers. Attendance is optional, but franchises must cover their own travel and living expenses.
Maintenance/Service Managers Training This program targets operations and service managers, as well as service technicians. It addresses variable cost benchmarks, maintenance best practices, tire maintenance, and 24-hour road service, with vendor presentations and updates.
PacLease University Courses Six specialized courses are offered:
Accelerated Sales
Sales Excellence
Strategic Selling
Rental Management
Champions of Service Management
Mastering Franchise Management Each course lasts 2.5 to 3 days and is held at least once annually. These programs are fee-based, and franchises cover training costs and expenses.
Territory Protection
PacLease does not offer its franchisees exclusive territorial protection. Franchisees may face direct competition from other PacLease franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels under PACCAR Leasing’s control.
These competing entities may operate under different trademarks and can market similar products and services within the same geographic area.
Additionally, PACCAR Leasing is not required to compensate franchisees for any business they may lose due to these competitive overlaps. The franchise is granted for a specific location rather than a defined territory, and approval from PACCAR Leasing is required for establishing or relocating any outlets.
