Im stuck

Go from one bad decision to another. Great advice...........

 

Sign on bonuses are usually paid in 12-36 monthly installments. I don't see how that would help OP.

 

How about living up to your word and finishing the deal you agreed to? What a novel idea. Otherwise why not just bail? It's only money.

 

My thoughts exactly and this would be my response to his rather arrogant comment for a N00B as well. In fact, if I were a carrier and you came to me with that "I drive better than most experienced drivers", the interview would be over.

 

Just wondering what contract would someone sign to work? Is it part of the training contract?

 

Some companies put you through their own, in house school to get a cdl. In order to do this, they make you sign a contract (usually 6-12 months) stating that if you leave before the contract is up, you have to pay them back for the schooling. It makes sure they don't waste the time and money to train a driver, and then said driver immediately leaves.

 

OK! Now this is making sense, your not stuck, you can leave, but your going to have to pay the cost of training, I doubt there is a company that will "buy it out", they'll see you want to bail on 1st company, if you don't like new company, they will think you'll just do the same, stick it out, then when contract is up! Leave

 

T-Mobile is buying out phone contracts,maybe slide that one in there.
If they really want your business they will do it. You will just have bad cell
coverage.

 

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that

 

When my grandfather died this year I thought about his life. Two things stand out that I want to emulate. He was sweet to my grandmother. Towards the end when he could hardly walk he still opened the door for her. He was a commercial fisherman in Alaska and did carpentry work in the off season. Hardest working man I ever have known. His boat sank during a storm and he survived. He didn't have insurance on it at the time. No bankruptcy for him. Took the rest of his life to pay off the loan.

My point here is, unless there is a safety issue with the equipment honor your contract. If it is lousy work that doesn't pay well, do a good job. Your company might not notice but somebody will. Do it without complaint and once you've honered your agreement go look for a new job. Everybody demands to be respected. If you want the respect of people you admire you must earn it.

also, this is America, land of opportunity, work hard and good thing will come to you.
