    The ONLY reason my husband went to CR is bc they were going to take him after he went to school even though he had read all the stories online he was on of the guy that didnt believe them and most drivers know most companys dont really care for the new drivers they want people with at least a yr experiance which from some of the stories i read and from wheat my husband tell me what he sees on the road i really cant blame them even though b4 u sign on with a company you have to take a drivers test but thats another deal...

    They prey on new drivers. Very few seasoned hands would go with them. They have a bad rep!

    I had a very similar experience about 8 years ago. Mine bill was $14000. I told them to do something to them selves and I did not pay. To this day I have not paid, and no secret squad of attorneys has nocked on my door. It did sit on my credit report for 7 years, but was very easy to explain to creditors.

    EDIT: Forgot to add, I too got negative paychecks for about two months before I returned the truck to Salt Lake.

    You may want to keep a recorder handy, so if you ever talk to CR again and they try and threaten you, you have a record of it. It may help down the road if things do get ugly. And notes, a paper trail is so important in these kind of deals.
