Lease purchase CRST driver wants to hire company driver under contract

I’m a rehire with CRST, my 10 month contract is over in 4 months. I went out on the road with a trainer for 28 days. At the end I was asked by the trainer who is leasing his truck through CRST, if I would like to be his co driver for a year. He would buyout my contract with CRST and hire me I would make 1500 wk minimum. And on bad weeks .35 a mile. He wants to stay out 2 months whenever we go out. How does this sound? 2 months seems a bit much to me. Family at home.

 

Just finish your contract then move on to greener pastures. Unless this trainer would offer you nice benefits.

 

I don't know about you but the trainer's going to make money

 

CRST is a training company, if your still happy there your not finished yet grasshopper.

 

Is he even allowed to sub-contract under a lease purchase?

 

most companies encourage it ......

 

Wow that's why this is a bad thing, cheap owners who can barely afford a truck getting into one through the company and then hiring a driver who they can't afford to begin with (most won't have a contract with the driver and pay them 1099) and then run it into the ground.

 

I think that says it all..... If someone chooses to be abused, knowing they will be abused there is simply no help for them.

 

that's how it usually turns out

 

You have a family at home; you brought that up, so it's a concern to you.
Finish the 4 months, then move on to another company with decent home time and pay.
