    Depends.

    October 9 you first posted about this. November 14 you were still sharing a truck with him and still complaining. If you let it go on for that long then yes, you should live up to your end of the bargain.

    Had you gotten off the truck 5 weeks earlier and went to safety at that time I'd be on your side.

    An attorney can access communication tracking info such as Qualcomm and get phone records that will demonstrate what was happening with the trainer's phone during those driving times.

    He has no case... The contract is for the CDL training not for the over the road training he got as an employee of the company.

    If he would had stopped before getting his CDL he wouldn't have too pay the company held up to the contract and got him a CDL

    Not sure if you're a lawyer or not. In this country.... And probably his since we are both common law, there is something called defence of necessity. He was afraid for his life and he had to get out the truck...... At least that would be my story. No way I give a reason for the video to get out if I own the company. That would be pure stupidity

    I totally agree. The driver accessed the situation and removed himself from what could have been a fatality. He was in fear for his life.

    the contract is for the schooling recieved to get the cdl before hire. it has nothing to do with the work environment.

    if you went to company A's school and signed on with company B to work he couldn't sue company A.

    quiters do what they do!

    Post a link to the video, I would be interested in watching so I can see how distracted a driver can be watching a movie on a cell phone

    I can hardly see the screen to text let alone watch a movie, I will admit that is an exaggeration because I watch Internet porn on that little screen thank goodness for the ability to zoom I always zoom in:downtown:

    The OP thinks the contract includes the over the road training which it does not the contract is only for the CDL training nothing more.
