Current CRST Employee: Options?

Thanks for your input. Swift recruiter told me they would, sent me an application and described the process. However, you have a solid point. Also, there's a post from last year that indicates the person was fired from Swift for being under contract with CRST. I messaged the recruiter and mentioned this. I don't want to throw away all of this progress for a big IF.

Current CRST Employee: Options?

I'm not going to soemd a lot of time bashing the ethics of my company. Frankly, I'm grateful for the opportunity. But a personal experience with them has made me start looking at other options.

Anyway, to get to brass tacks... I cannot drive teams because I only recently discovered that I can't sleep in a moving vehicle, which is affecting my performance.

I'd like to finish my contract but they won't offer anything solo. I've been told that there are companies that would hire me even with the contract, and I can simply set up a payment plan to pay off CRST.

I'm really not having any luck finding reliable information on this.

Can anyone recommend any companies that would hire me with the experience I have, regardless of the contract?

Thanks
