Stuck in a contract with a company I hate!

Sorry to hear about your situation. I have a few friends that were under contract with one company and just up and left and worked for another company. Put the experience down. I bet that you will get hired on somewhere.

 

Use your logs and / or paystubs as proof of working for said company - would that work?

 

The problem with crst is they can sue if u go somewhere else. Pay the contract off and run.

 

msviolet can you give me some clarification please? When you drove to PA, dropping of another driver, you state the reason you were being sent was to PU a team driver. This person went to being your new team driver to being fired by the time you could get there to pick them up? In all honesty it sounds like the true reason you were sent to PA was to drop that driver off, and there never was a codriver waiting for you.

Where I get confused and need clarification is that you state you were stuck in PA yet had driven there. Why did you need a ride home? Didn't you drive there? Did you just leave their equipment in PA and go home msviolet? I really don't understand how the left you in PA, but you drove there. You are saying "you don't want to go back" as though you are not in the equipment that you used to take that driver to PA.

Can you clarify as to why you needed a ride "home"?

 

Does the terminal have a 'Team Board' with drivers wanting to switch teams? If you're still there and still an employee, you could start calling phone numbers and get another partner. Someone may be in town on a reset and ready to switch **right now.**

Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't give you another load and put you back on the road solo until you can find another teammate. It seems like a waste of resources to get rental car and send you there just to sit.

Why didn't they coordinate loads to drop off the other driver and then get you to PA? I have a classmate who was released as a driver trainee from Swift. When it happened, Swift assigned loads so his trainer could get him to a terminal without deadheading. Once there, he was put on a Greyhound and the trainer picked up another rookie driver.

 

sent you there in a rental car? why not give you a load solo to get there and take the tractor. If you're gonna pick up a new driver to team with you would want to pick them up in the tractor.

This reallly doesn't make a lot of sense.
