Most places will have you sign an agreement to stick around or pay up

Some of them have you sign a contract that’ll have you paying back the training costs if you go away too soon

If you bail right after getting your CDL, you might be on the hook for the training costs

You’ll burn a bridge with the school and the company they work with. Good luck finding another job with that on your record. You’re better off sticking with them for a while and getting some experience.

You’ll probably have to pay back the cost of the training, plus interest. They don’t give you a free CDL for nothing. Read the fine print before you sign anything.

You should read your contract carefully and understand the consequences before you decide to leave.

If you leave the school right after you get your CDL, you will probably have to pay back the full cost of the training, which can be thousands of dollars. Most schools have a contract that requires you to work for them for a certain period of time or miles after you get your CDL, otherwise you will be liable for the tuition.

they are going to bill you and take you to court over it

Look over your contract. If they haven't had you sign anything yet they likely will have you sign something.

+ Paid training as in a company is paying for your training? They normally will have you sign an agreement that you will repay them back a certain amount sometimes even more than the schooling alone is, that usually includes a one year commitment of you working for them.
