Contract buy out

Tell him no it isn't drivable.

if they give you crap, ask them if they think you're a mechanic.

 

I'm not saying he needs to stay, but in the long run, staying will make going to another carrier easier. He'll have 8 months of experience at that point and not have a potential of a contact hanging over him. Not many carriers will touch him with only 60 days of experience.

 

Now that I would agree with! When I was there we went through 5 trucks before we would drive one. When that truck had to spend a couple of days at freightliner they tried to put us in another one. It was worse, dirty and smoky. We said no and told them we'll wait for ours to finish in the shop, please send us our hotel voucher! 4 days later the truck was done and we were happy to have it back!

 

If they told you that they were lying. Well, either that or stupid enough to ignore their lawyers and got laughed (professional, of course) out of court by the judge.

As for him being an employee, well that's my point. I did not mean he was starting a company. I meant if a person was to start a company a non-compete might (but unlikely) affect him. He is an employee, not some manager, CxO, or even salesperson. He has no stake in the company and no trade secrets to protect.

As for remuneration, that $4,000 is the loan amount. That is getting paid back by the 12 month "work for us" clause, or the "you quit and owe us $4,000" clause. A non-compete needs more than that, And since CRST pays below industry standard even for training megas, they would be hard pressed into saying it's part for your cpm.

No, CRST (and any other place for that mater) that states they can sue another company, or you, for leaving is blowing smoke up your backside. If you are worried I highly suggest talking to a contract lawyer in your area. Sure it might cost $100 or so, but you'll make that back with an ok paying company the first run.

 

A return trip by bus to find a truck at a term. is in the story book?

Attention to Orders:

I skipped ahead so this may already be covered but encase it hasn't been listen to me Grasshopper.

You and YOU alone are the sole determiner of the safety of your vehicle. If you believe that the three lights that are illuminating on your vehicle make it unsafe to operate then you have the duty to refuse to operate it. The courts have ruled that making you operate a vehicle you have determined to be unsafe is an actionable offense by your employer.

Write a certified letter to your company stating that "by forcing me to drive a vehicle which is, in my determination, unsafe to operate, you have violated the contract that I signed for employment. I therefore, inform you that the contract is null and void and will be seeking employment elsewhere. I further inform you that any measures that your company takes to damage my reputation as a driver or employee or my credit will be met with swift legal action."

There's stories all over the internet about how CRST will make your life miserable. There's also stories about how most companies don't want to deal with CRST and their threats. These could be true or they could just be stories. I honestly have no idea.

Do what you want, but their track record is that they will fight your move tooth and nail
