    So where does it end? Have you heard the phrase "Two wrongs don't make a right"?

    I'm going to stick it out for at least 1 year no matter how bad it is. Looks so much better to future employers and will give you more options of better jobs i'm sure.

    I'd say that's a GREAT reason!

    IMHO if someone upholds their contract by continuing to make payments after they leave a company like CRE, then that is a good thing. They can move up to a company that pays more and has better equipment and treats their drivers better. Might even be able to afford to accelerate payments to take care of their obligation early.

    On the other hand if the plan is to skip out on their debt, then that won't bode well for their future.

    Who said I'm doing something wrong? Just like Lepton said... I am making payments to them and I found a much better company. I just chose to use the system to my advantage, instead of the other way around.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    I have no problem with the first part of your comment; kudos to you for being responsible to your obligations. I just found the second part to be a bit of a contradiction to the first. Maybe I misunderstood.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    This is business... you gotta do what you gotta do. You think these mega carriers got to where they are by not taking advantage of one thing or another?
    I'm not saying go rob an old lady or steal from the charity collection box, but if its not hurting anyone to get you ahead of the game I am gonna do it.
     
    FreightlinerGuy Thanks this.

    as long as he doesn't skip on the debt what is the problem?

    the sanctimonious don't pay your bills, do what you want. there is nothing wrong with getting some experience and moving on to greener pastures.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.
