Leaving the company before your contract ends?

right, as all he would have is his CDL, only, and no proof he was properly taught.

 

How much longer do you have on the contract?

 

i have not heard much in the way of bad things about FFE. work out a solution, i think that if you show sincerity, they will work with you

 

Well....if you can pay them off and move on, I'd say do what is best for you and yours. If your money isn't the greatest, I'd ride it out the rest of the way. Once your contract is over, provided you stick it out, the whole industry will open up to you. Whichever you decide, I hope you do well!

 

Just find out what you have to pay back if leaving before the contract ends. Pay off the contract and get the better job. See if they take payments. I'm guessing they will want all the money back in one payment. You probably have 30 days between quitting and getting bill in mail. They might want all the money back for training you. It could be expensive bill, but if the new job pays that much better it might be worth it to switch jobs.

 

Yep you are right about it’ll hurt your credit.

 

So this is a question I have and I know it's not the same for most. Can a new driver pay the company upfront for their training/school and the company then pays them back in reimbursement as long as they drive for them? If the driver gets a different job the company will not be out anything if the driver leaves before the school is paid off because it was paid for upfront.
I know some will say go to an actual school then so you're not obligated to anyone. Tech schools are very long and you're not paid while there vs company schools that are much shorter until you're getting a paycheck. Also in my area there are no schools close. It's 3 to 4 hours away. The shorter private ones probably don't teach as well as the company school. The closest is Diesel Driving school in Sun Prairie and it's known as a CDL mill. I also have known a couple of people that went through there and they don't recommend it.

BTW I have excellent credit and can pay if I left a company.

1) 7 months will go by quickly. It might be best to work the remaining 7 months, while maintaining a good work record, have everything filed and recorded both legally & properly, then go onto another company.
2) Perhaps you can ask the company that you want to go to if the position will be open in 7 months, explaining to them that you are fulfilling a contract, and would like to exit afterwards. This may show the trucking company that you want to go to that you are a man of your word.
3) What ever decision that you make, the absolute best of luck to you.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.
