    And how did it turn out for YOU???? Employed? Just wondering. I've never fallen into the wraths; just curious. Y'all are gonna have fun, after THAT employ, so I hear. Who am I, I could be wrong. Pay off that paper note quick, and get TONS of proof that y'all did so.

    WHY do y'all NOT take this seriously when you FIRST walk in to that ROOM ... CALLED PREHIRE, EMPLOYMENT, TRAINING?!?

    Just my wonderment.

    Can't you JUST go back, and work it off?!? Until you PAY it off..they literally almost have a contract "out" on you. One of the only companies I know, that op's thata way. I've been driving 17 years since recert; almost 40 total.
    They are the mafioso of companies, man.

    CAN'T YOU JUST WORK IT OFF?!?

    Because they kept getting put into the shop. I was too blame a few times because clearly I shouldn't tell maintenance if something is wrong with the truck

    Nope, you were in the right, with that, man. Pretrip and safety prevails. If you have proof of all that, you can CAN and again CAN prevail OUT of your contract.

    I got a email from them saying once they get the check they will release me from the contract and I will be able to get employment verification the same day

    AND, that may be entirely true... i'm so not sure. I've also heard of some companies BUYING OUT their contract; where the "company" will pay them same day, and hire YOU same day. Let me think..... sheesh... I can't recall, but I'm thinking WestSide does.
