(I rambled im sorry lol)
Hi I just want to share my situation and see if I can get any advice. I'm not usually ever on forums, ever but I'm desperate. My husband became a trucker in late March early April so has only been at it a couple months. He did not do his research before hand and went with a company that a friend referred him to. I had did some research and told him that alot of reviews and such said that this company paid very poorly about 300 to 400 a week for the first year or so. Long story short sadly that is exactly what has happen. He's gotten maybe 1 600 check and 1 800 check but most weeks its 400 to 350 a week. Its hard for him to come home on days he requested and usually because things happens it gets pushed back by days. This has caused us to not see each other on his visits home.
I didnt want him to be a trucker but he did so I was trying my best to support him. But his low checks are getting to us both especially for the amount of time hes not home. He also is really starting to miss us he says. We have a young daughter thats 2 and its just hard on us all and with the holidays this winter I honestly dont think he's going to make it.
I think he got in over his head personally and he wants to just flat out quit. I asked him to wait and find out about paying back the class and see if anyone would even hire him. I was trying to do so research on all of this and I read some threads on here which is how I even got here lol. Id like him to stay and suck it up but man these checks just dont seem to be even worth it.
So the acutally question. What happens if you break your contract with a company?? He said we'd owe the company all the money back? But I didn't know if they'd just allow us to make payments or if they'd ask for the whole sum? Also idk if this will effect anything else?
