    You are right about one thing though. Trucking is among the topmost dangerous jobs out there.

    Plus I have wrecked my $50k car before and all I paid was $250 deductible. WTF is the insurance there for? I am not their insurance company, this is a scam. It is not a job.

    You should be able to get a job in food service or delivering soda with the experience you have. Both of those sectors are known to hire and train people with little or no experience. I think you’ll keep running into the same issues you’ve experienced trying to work for a mega carrier.

    And if most truckers you know live in poverty then you need to change who you associate with. You are the average of who you hang out with so stay out of the underperforming circles or they will drag you down to their level.

    Everything on there is fairly normal, other than that one open ended clause.

    As I said, use it as a stepping stone if you wish. If not, keep looking.

    Sorry if previous post seemed harsh. Been a long week of looking at wrecks. And it ain't even bad weather yet.

    If you are on a job with a similar contract, I would quit right away and look for a real job.

    @Long FLD that is exactly one of the reasons I quit the last company. To me, they were losers, not a place to hang around among other reasons.

    What you said is music to my ears. Thank you. That gives me hope

    IF I was on that contract, and it was the only thing I could get, I'd risk it for a year and be gone to something better.

    @Oor I am not risking it for a minute. I am not their F*** insurance company. I am calling them up telling them tomorrow either send me a waiver or F*** off.

    Run the hell away from that company seems like they must be one of those 1099 companies that nickel and dime you. I true w2 company driver is not responsible for any damage that’s what the company insurance is for. When you hit something all they can do is fire you...NOW if you want to keep the job and want to be on the boss’s good side you can voluntarily offer to pay the deductible. But that’s the perks of being a company driver; you get less pay but when #### hits the fan it’s going to corporate’s feet not yours.

    Only in trucking would someone be happy to pay company expenses and call it "normal".
    Sorry, if the company doesn't want to pay company expenses then they shouldn't employee anyone and the owner needs to be a sole proprietor (O/O for trucking).
    Plus, as others stated, in some states that clause is illegal. Why would I want to work for a company that even before I'm employed I know they are breaking the law?

    As for the op, simply call them and say you refuse to sign that and will that be a problem. They may need drivers enough they will not force it. Of course there are better companies out there.
