Wait til you hear this......

His problem is going to be the contract. Every training company out there has some sort of a contract now and they are balls-to-the-wall on going after each other in court if someone hires one of their "under contract" drivers. Most student carriers now have an online verification system where a company can go in and check to see if that person is still under contract. So regardless of whether he accepts the certified mail or not, he's likely going to run into issues trying to get on with any major carrier.

 

i would say cre terminated that contract by terminating the op

 

Doesn't work that way. If he was under contract, he either pays it off or has someone else pay it off...which does happen occasionally in the form of a sign-on bonus. But usually not with a termination.

 

oh, i thought it was regarding employment,not the school payment. in that case i wrong .

 

in that regard, if op can not get a job due to cre reports, i'd lawyer up and get them for fraud

 

It would be a serious uphill battle with little chance of winning. The student portion of the trucking industry is brutal right now. Virtually all of the school contracts specify the student has to drive for X amount of time to have his schooling paid and he if leaves (for ANY reason, including termination), he must pay back the full value of the contract or the company will take legal action against any other company that tries to hire him while still under contract. It gets signed and becomes legally binding for all parties.

It's not a bad deal for those people that knuckle down and do well and work through their contract, because it is the equivalent of $4k or better that they ultimately do not have to pay back. But there's no arguing that it's a gamble. If you come up short like the OP, now you're stuck.

 

OK maybe I am confused with the excitement of the weekend starting here. BUT there are a couple things that don't seem right and the OP can explain them.

I assume they trained you for your CDL and you got it. YOU did the obligatory stint with a "trainer" for a couple months and returned to get your own truck. Right?

If so you got your CDL (I wish people would stop using the term "Hard Copy" because either you have it or not - the company can not legally hold it, posses it for any reason or have a lean on it) and wanted to start working for them, Right?

IF so you got screwed because they just didn't like you. Maybe not that you have enemies but maybe you actually did something wrong on the road and they won't tell you or you won't say. it seems you assumed that you did a perfect road test but you are not the judge of it, someone else is and they also judge you on your driving while "training" so it could be a lot of things.

So let's recap, you signed a contract saying that you will work for them to pay off your obligation but there is no guarantee of a job once that training is done (read the contract). YOU got a CDL and that's it.

YOU did a post "training" company road test after you got your CDL but didn't get the job.

You are on the hook for the training if that's all correct.

I wouldn't worry about your DAC, they can't say much on that and if they do, dispute it. I wouldn't worry about getting another job, you have some time between the dac report update and starting the job.

BUT you are obligated to pay them, and as you mentioned your residency is different than your mailing address which will be an issue if/when they bring you to court.

Remember these companies are not under any obligation to do or say a word about why you failed, there is no laws governing employment there and all states have at will employment. The problem I see is with people who think they are owed something for the work they do, many act as if they are the important ones but these companies make their own rules and will fire people for no reason.

You are joking, right?

Did you read the contract you signed, it won't be the case that you can obfuscate your obligation if they trained you, you are not dealing with a small company with small pockets and they know the game better than you do otherwise you wouldn't be trying to get a job driving a truck.

By the way, just another question, can you remove court imposed obligations in background checks?

The OP won't be able to do a thing about it. There is no fraud involved.

 

I call BS. Just cause you co-own a credit restoration business does not mean you can remove the bad from your credit record. You can dispute it but you can't remove anything. Only Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion can remove things from your credit report.

 

Agreed. And, people think that if you ignore it for seven years, it goes away. That's not true, after Severn years, they just begin the process all over again.

 

Was any of the road test on the interstate?
