    Tried that and all I got was an attitude from them. I even asked them to send me a copy of the contract I signed electronically and they said no

    Yeah I have it but it’s been a pain trying to find a job cause the school won’t give me the certification of completion due to PAM paying for it but after they terminated me due to my background I’ve been paying. I won’t get my certificate till I pay off the loan ( supposedly )

    Yeah, that's a tough pill to swallow. I was fired one time for something I didn't do. I was bitter for awhile and even though that was years ago, but even now I go into an internal rage when it crosses my mind.
    That turned me against those, " We're a small family owned trucking company that knows you by name." Screw that, I never allow myself to get involved in that propaganda again.
     
    Speed_Drums, nredfor88 and MoonRyder Thank this.

    If PAM contacts you, don't tell them anything. Say, "Don't call me; I'll call you."
    PAM isn't going to let you off the hook for the money, so just ignore them.
     
    N00bLaLoosh and MoonRyder Thank this.

    Wish I could offer more concrete advice but I have heard of companies that will pay your outstanding CDL school bill as a signing bonus if they hire you. I also know Western Express gives some leeway on criminal histories, and I found this old thread which might have some relevant info for you:

    CDL Completion Certificate
     
    MoonRyder Thanks this.

    A certificate of completion is what you get from the carrier when you finish that year and all bills at the school are paid. Of course, you don't have this. Pam let you go! Your issue now is the School NOT PAM! This School is going to dog you until this debt is repaid. I would be prepared to face a judgment and be subject to wage garnishment as well as maybe even a Bank levy! You got bad advice somewhere. I don't know anything about this school you went to but once Pam let you go you should have contacted that school and worked something out In regard to getting on with another carrier.
