:smt102 I've been going to school at a Vo-Tech. I'm 7 weeks into the 10 week/(320 hour) course. I acquired my license at the end of the 6th week. I went to an interview this morning and looked over their formal application packet. There was a Training Contract in there that required 1 year commitment after finishing up with their trainer. The recruiter said 4 weeks of training but the Contract said 6-8 weeks of training. If for any reason I voluntarily terminate my employment prior to the 1 year of solo, they would charge me the following: a) $350 general fee; b) $150 per week trainer fee; c) Feul cost; and d) Equipment usage fees.
No set figure, so we could easily be looking at Thousands of dollars. There were also a couple of conditions where I could even be terminated by employer and still be charged these fees. I thanked the lady for inviting me down but I told here that the contract conditions were unexceptable to me.
I had been under the impression that you only faced such (Indentured Servant) type contracts by going to a Company Sponsored Cdl Program. Is this the Norm?
Now I'm really confused
