New Student Contract

That non-compete clause is a joke. Any reputable company will place a cease-and-desist letter into the circular file and proceed.

 

I think all the companies are going to get tough with their company cdl programs now that the freight has slowed down.

I bet they don't collect 70 percent that they bill to students.

Student bails out loses everything , next step is declare bankruptcy.

 

The "non-compete clause" will not stand up to a legal challenge, it's to broad ... it must be reasonable in scope, geography, and time. Prime (or any company) may attempt to "garnish" your wages (by obtaining a court order) for debts you may owe them, but a new employer would not have assumed liability for your debt.
What it may do is make people more serious when they consider their commitment, which is a good thing.

 

Yeah. I see most companies moving towards it now. They're getting tired of training people and they up and leave, go right to a competitor, without getting their monies worth. Plus, like @tommymonza said, they "could" make MORE money if they can collect that $4500 on top of what you've worked. Free money and free work for them.

 

When does the 1yr commitment start? (Day 1 or when you get your actual CDL?)

 

That non compete clause is ########. I'd laugh my ### off at that and I guess that would be that lol.

It's crazy how much has changed with these starter companies in just three years time. Seems like there are a lot more hoops to jump thru. My experience with central refrigerated in 2013 was pretty straight forward.

On the henderson thread there was a comment by one student that he is the only person employed by them out of 30 students.
i think there is a lot of desperate people these days that were seeking trucking as a way to make more than 20 thousand a year , and not necessarily as a love for trucking.

Also discovered there was much more to it than just driving and it can be lonely out there.

 

Well this must be new because I'm on my 2nd week of psd and there is no competition anything.

 

CRST does the same, but drivers leave anyway and go right to work somewhere else.
