Probably does. They are one sided contracts which is the point I was trying to point out to the op

This thread is about the practices of the megastar fat daddy and what to expect from them. I shared my experience so the op could have as much information as possible. Not to have my accident which can happen to anyone nitpicked by you. With that I won't be returning to this thread to argue it with you. The op can pm me if he has any questions.

Chewy, you caught a bad break.
That doesn't let you out of the training costs that you signed the contract for.
ANY roll over is considered a preventable accident.
You could have held your line, and maybe had a mirror taken out - but the truck and load would have been intact.
That is how it was 'preventable', and not excusable.
It's the difference between a few hundred dollars for a new mirror or over 100k for a new truck - plus the load you were hauling.
You made a decision that made you a bad risk. -
I'm not sure a rollover can happen "to anyone". There are certainly driving behaviors that drastically increase the probability of a rollover: taking corners too fast, poor lane control, or distracted driving are a few things that come to mind. Rollovers don't just happen out of the blue for no reason at all. Even a blown steer can be handled and you can stay upright if you aren't habitually driving with one hand.
