    I’m looking to leave crst still under the contract. But I’m willing to make payments to them for their school. Will they take my license or some ########. I’m going back to construction

    no, they cannot take back your CDL.

    all they can do if you do not pay back the loan, is put a black mark on your credit.

    just have a sit down talk with them before you leave, as this will show them you're a man that can stand up and be respected, rather than a stumble bum, they will mess with.

    The non-compete clause I hear they have in their contract is unenforceable. Your cdl is yours.

    Why would they take your liscense? Only the government has the power to do that.

    CRSTs contract comes up a lot on this site, it’s your license they can’t take it from you. I agree with Buddy talk to them about it.

    I avoided them because I've read horror stories about the contract, whether they can enforce the non-compete or not, I didn't even want to bother with it. I wouldn't stress, they definitely cannot take away your CDL. I would recommend paying them off though, for sure. Just keep in touch with them.
