So I got invited to a couple of orientations for CDL schooling last week. Recruiters are calling wanting a start date.
Sweet!!
Meanwhile the West Texas oil scene is beginning to blow up with work and now I'm a bit worried.
Unsweet!
**If I give a start date for orientation and two weeks later I'm offered my old job back what kind of repercussions can I expect when I cancel?**
**Worse (or better) yet, if I go through with orientation, begin training and while I'm on the road I get an offer I can't refuse what's gonna happen when I give them a notice?**
Obviously I'll be on the hook for school fees, but what, if anything, can they do to my DAC or chances to get back on the truckin horse again?
Either way, I WILL get into trucking as it's my best option for when oil goes bust again....and it WILL, but I don't want to burn any bridges along the way.

No the Schools cant do anything to your DAC. However it doesn't sound to me like your totally committed to this Career so why bother going to school.
RedRover, Rusty Trawler, TequilaSunrise and 2 others Thank this. -
Yes if It was me think I'd wait on the truckin.make up your mind before you spend money on a truckin school.Trump might start up oil again
sushi boy Thanks this. -
I did that with CRE and there were no repercussions. They just rescheduled 2 months later when I was ready to go.
Rusty Trawler and sushi boy Thank this. -
My bad, it's company sponsored schooling, not a private school.
Right now I'm totally committed to not going broke waiting on the oilfield to take a turn in the right direction.
Family 1st, career 2nd.
Company school I'm considering is free with a 1-year contract.
The newest west texas find doesn't seem to be waiting on Trump. If it's as big as they say it is, they'll test the caca out of it regardless of the ppb of oil. -
Its not Free its a contract.... Low CPM and Crap Loads for 1 year.....
icsheeple, Rusty Trawler and tscottme Thank this. -
Yes I understood about the free carrier sponsored training but if you quit before that 1st year think they will charge you money for not completing the contract.but good luck in which ever you choose
sushi boy and TruckDrivingtn Thank this. -
Your thread is not titled good. I don't think schools do orientations. Other then this what is the issue?
sushi boy Thanks this. -
Good point. Edited.
Issue is making sure I don't get any bad feedback for cancelling out on a company sponsored school after setting a date or leaving before training is finished.
I'm not trying to make waves with the lifers here but when I've got someone offering me $600+/day to return to my old job it's hard not to put this career on hold until I can catch up on some bills. Maybe I can afford private school at that point. -
I wouldn't worry about making waves. Anyone worth listening to understands the economics of your situation.Rusty Trawler, KillingTime and sushi boy Thank this.
