If I just quit CR England will swift buy out my contract?

Some of them maybe.

 

What are cdls. Just curious cause you only get one

 

100% shoe in you got it no worries unless you signed one of those docs that says your not quitting halfway through training and going to another driving company and there's a 97% chance you did

 

They can't really force you to do anything with this 'contract.' They can threaten you with a small claims lawsuit for breach of contract. They likely will not send a lawyer to show up to such a hearing. They would have to file this hypothetical lawsuit in your own county of residence. Do you know what that means? They can't have a lawyer go to small claims court. It means they have to fly a representative to your location, put them up in a hotel, and pay that individual hourly to testify against you. To recoup their measly $5k. I even think , some case law somewhere, states these contracts are unconscionable and therefore unenforceable. Screw them. Move on with your life.

 

You like white trucks more than red?

 

lol...

 

Swift & CRE are two sides of the same coin. Just stay at CRE and tough it out for six months, even three months.
CRE is NOT the weirdest experience you will ever have. You would need to go to CRST for that.
Now I will say dry freight is much better than refrigerated. It's just a lot less hassle.
I started at CRE 11 years ago, did three months, and went to JBH, and it was like died and went to heaven. But I paid cash for the school, so I was under no obligation to stay.

 

Well you are a glutton for punishment..... Cr England to Swift I don't think there are any any other companies that get dumped on more.... Good luck...

 

BS! to the comment made, that Swift and CRE are two sides of the same coin. Swift does treat it's drivers with respect. Sure people quit, these forums are flooded with people leaving CRE night and day. However most are not cut out for this industry or life style in the first place. Lots of times, that is the underlying reason for leaving any trucking company.

Life is all about trying new things, some things are great, others are a wrong and bad choice. People complain about almost every trucking company out here. Some cheer and love the places they are at. Each person is different. The ones that aren't made out to be truckers, leave and never want to come back. While the rest of us stay.

Good luck to you on your choice. Swift is good one. 20,000 plus drivers can't be wrong. And yeah, its kindergarden out here, lots of jokes, rude comments, but talk to a few Swift drivers and see, the company really isn't all that bad.

Remember, mostly its due to the lifestyle and the person not cut out for the job, not so much the company they are with.

just thoughts,
