Contract with Jim Palmer

Hi folks,

Recently I've been speaking with a recruiter at Jim Palmer. He tells me that if I go to work for them that I have to sign a 1 year contract. I explained that they'd not be paying for my CDL schooling, he said that it was for "training" and and that they "teach me how to become a truck driver, not just drive a truck." I was a little flabbergasted. I mean...don't all the companies train a rookie driver for a period of time? The only reasoning I can see a contract would be needed is to pay off CDL school or because they trained me to earn my CDL.

Does anybody know anything about this? Seems really fishy to me.

 

@Flat Earth Trucker I've seen those videos. Not that one specifically, however. Very informative.

@UsualSuspect Exactly what I was thinking.
