    But remember, that contract is unenforceable according to some members here.

    Too bad that money doesn’t go to the drivers. I’m pretty sure the “gold rush” is anything but.

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the other megas jump on this now. There will be many drivers that didn't fulfill their contracts that will find themselves in a bad situation as far as getting hired elsewhere.

    And before someone jumps on the "recruitment" phrase, might want to read what that term means. Here's a start.

    Swift never went to a CRST truck and said ”Do you want to work for us?". They simply put out ads and hired people in response.

    I'm sure if it can this will be appealed.

    if this is how it works i feel that credit lending agencies should be held accountable for someone else’s poor financial decisions. i don’t agree with this lawsuit.
