In 2015 I applied for a company called C R England trucking and passed the interview for the schooling program they had in Richmond, IN. I went there and did very well at the school and passed the test for getting my class CDL-A license within 2 weeks of arriving at the school. This test included a written test and a driving test, which I passed both. They then gave me my CDL-A and I went out with a driving instructor from the company and that is when the problems really began.I was promised dedicated route which would have had me home every few weeks, but stated I would never be out for more than a month. When I requested to go home for a few days to see my family, they completely refused the idea. During the time that I was gone, I missed my 9 month old son's first steps, first tooth and I could not be there for my wife when she was forced had to uproot and move back in with her parents. They switched me to over the road training without permission and I was away from home for 2 months. During my training with the company I had 2 different driving trainers.


 The first trainer was very discriminative towards my age and if I would make even the slightest mistake he would berate and belittle me for an unknown amount of time. He made me stay up with him when he would take over driving and expect me to drive when he slept. During this period I would be lucky to get 3 hours of sleep each night during our layover time. When I tried to confront him on his behavior towards me his exact response was "That's the problem with your generation, you all think the world owes you something" All I was trying to request was some human respect that any person would want. When I chose to leave his truck because of this, he insisted that I would be fired for stopping the truck and tried to blackmail me into going back with him stating that if I got off the truck then I would never get back on a truck with any company again and that he would make sure of that.


I left and called my hr office to explain the situation and to request a new trainer. I waited for 3-4 days before my next trainer arrived and he was on a dedicated route but it was from California to Texas. He slept the entire time I was driving and was never paying when he was awake, but still insisted that I was a terrible driver. He kept insisting that the company would not keep me but would not try and teach me by correcting what I was doing wrong. This trainer could go see their family every week and then I was expected to stay in the truck during that time. When I tried to look into being trained closer to home so I could see my family during these layover periods I was met with a flat "not gonna happen." When he was training me, he was paid for every mile that I drove and he was planning on keeping that easy money. Also both trainers were constantly playing on their phones while driving which is extremely dangerous .


Now after that the second trainer refused to allow me to take the test to keep me on the truck longer. I had to call the hr department to be request the chance to take the test into the company, which is supposed to have the same test requirements as their school. My pay would be getting changed from $9 per hour to $.012 per mile. However the test proctor completely falsified the test. He claimed I made right turn from incorrect lanes. Which the only way this would have been possible is if we went onto the highway, which we did not. If I had done this on a highway as he insisted that I had I would have smashed the trailer onto the guard rail from his description of test results. According to him I was not checking my mirrors as well as  that I was shifting improperly. He then insisted that I was worse driver than when I started.


After that test the company let me go and expected me to find my way own way home. I was stuck in California with no way to Ohio and had hardly any money on me. I had to contact the highest member of management within the company just to get a bus ticket home. After I returned home because of my treatment with this company I was diagnosed with sever Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and am still currently taking medication to help keep myself functional. Within a month of being back home the harassing calls began demanding that I pay back the 7k immediately. My original contract stated that if I passed the test I would be hired on with reduced pay to pay back the school fees with a contract. They refused to give me a copy of the contract and when I was contacted they insisted that I would have to pay it out of pocket if I was dismissed. The contract I signed stated that if I was dismissed from the company then I would not have to pay this money back.

Because of my medical condition I had difficulty finding a new job and they began calling and harassing my wife about the money as well. We did pay them a few payments of $100 which they would call back within 2 weeks expecting us to pay atleast $100 to the full amount more. Most of these agreed payments my wife had spoken to them and explicitly told them that she would call them back in about a month to make the next payment because at the time we could not afford their expected payment plan. They would constantly call and change what was previously stated claiming they had record of us calling when we had not called during the time frame they claimed.
