Western Express or CRST

Actually, I was looking at Crusty's website earlier, and tuition was $2500 if you paid up front with no required signing of an illegal contract.

Not a bad deal if you can tolerate teaming, low wages, and awful treatment.

 

That is not at all what a "non compete"

That is not at all a "non compete" contract. If you are going to use legal terminology, get it right for everyone's sake. I've signed a "non compete" contract in the past, it basically states that you cannot go to a competitor company and work in the same profession.
The contract the training trucking companies wants you to sign basically states that you will work for them for a specified amount of time in lieu of charging you for the training.
Obviously, you are free to go work for their competitors or any other outfit after that.

 

What Crusty requires you to sign IS a non compete contract.

You cannot work for any other trucking company until you have satisfied the terms of said contract thereby qualifying the CRST contract as a non compete contract.

Should you quit or be terminated, you are required to pay the tuition before you can work for a different trucking company under the terms of Crusty's non compete contract.

I, too, have signed a non compete contract; it was the one I signed with CRST.

 

CRST sued Swift over driver poaching -- and won $15.5 million

Within the text of this article is the term "non-compete contract". Read it for your self.

 

Roehls's once upon a time had a national objective. Slow trucks, slower dispatch and glacial shippers and receivers.

Always put up the cash yourself and pay the school yourself. Your CDL A, your freedom. Beholden to NO one.

Keep in mind that Careers and trucking are two things that react and destroy each other. Its a impossible situation.

If people were able to hire on and work until age 65 in drama free conditions of trucking visiting all sorts of places in the USA.. that I believe would be ideal for many provided they build savings with each load.

 

AND have $2500.

 

Glacial shippers and receivers. I like that.

 

I’d still like to hear this question answered. There’s got to be more choices available for you..?

 

Its really not hard to keep a job for 1 year.........
