Work contract was voided!! Thanks for those that helped!!

The pay isn't bad at all but what I seen when it came to there equipment to me it was a red flag. I was going to stay with the company until I seen those two things I'm not going to risk it like most trucker. Getting pulled over or running through an inspection and get caught with bad equipment that will ruin my future. But like I said paying the 2500 isn't a biggie or even if I show them my transcript to get out the contract. To be home more often. Money isn't my main concern but my safety is and my future.

I guess I'll be paying them the 2500 money ain't a problem if my safety is my main concern. As for the one that worked there for 2 years things might have changed since the time you left western. Like I said in my post I told my dm I wanted out because I got an offer for a job working locally near my home. I was with the idea that I needed otr experience to get hired else where for local work but once I got the call from the local company I mentioned it to my dm out of being honest. He told me about the contract. It is my fault for not throughly reading the agreement. Tbh I thought it was for the bonus they was giving out which was 1500 not a binding commitment to the company for 6 months of work and it broken it would be 2500 cost. I was told by western that they just need my transcript from school so the contract can be changed which will be the first thing I will do on Monday morning.

No sir, they haven't changed that much in 8 months. Their pay is on the low end but they take very good care of their equipment.

So I got my cdl through a private school. I just recently got hired at western express. While I was out with my trainer I notice a couple red flags that prompted me to start looking for works else where. I decided to go and call my dm about my situation because I wanted to be honest and upfront he then told me I was on a contract. I asked him how since I got my cdl on my own. I went over the paper work I signed before being hired and noticed that I was in a training program. I was then told by my recruiter that if I get a hold of my school and get my transcript my contract could be canceled out. I was wondering if anyone has has this ever happened to them. If I don't finish the contract (6 months) I would have to pay 2500. I feel very unsafe with this company driving there trucks and trailers. My trainer makes me feel unsafe the way he drives and the type of decisions he makes when finding a trailer. ( take trailers with bad breaks and bald tires with out mentioning it to our dm or dispatchers. Not once I seen him do pre trip or post trip that made me feel unsafe as well. When I mentioned it to him he just ignores it and does what he does. Someone tell me what could I possibly do to get out this contract.

So my recruiter is waiting from the hiring department after my application has been sent. Waiting on the call to confirm when I'll be ready for training since my wife is having back surgery next month on the 13th. Im trying to leave between October-November. I'm 29 years old on the short side 5'5. And I'm skinny but a bit athletic. Can anyone tell me. Any thing I may run into that might make it difficult to do the work that is needed. I am not lazy I just don't want to go up there and my size might interfere. What else could I run into tell me anything that might help me succeed I also would like to know how is home home time. Living in the western mass area Springfield/Holyoke/chicopee/Westfield/agawam area. How is the pay for those accounts near my area.

Thank you in advance
