That is why Schneiders 1 year contract was determined to be nul and voided in California. They have them at every other terminal but not in Fontana.

I can not answer your question; I can only strongly suggest and strongly recommend that you seek a qualified legal opinion before taking any action.

Again, let me reiterate the fact that I am not an attorney. These are my opinions, and my opinions only.

In my unqualified opinion, you are dealing with very different parameters of contract law; different elements of offer, acceptance, promise, expectation, reliances, and performances, and discharge of obligations and/or duty(ies) to perform in the situation that you articulated, as opposed to your contract with Swift.

I the situation you described, in exchange for training to legally operate a school bus, you were under contract to be a substitute driver, when needed. Therefore, the level of expectation on the part of the school, or school district, was very limited in it's scope. Whereas you were a substitute driver, the school or school district could mitigate any potential damages resulting from your absence or departure from employment by simply calling another substitute driver. THey would have a very difficult tme establishing proof that they were in some way "damaged" by your departure. In a court of law, where there is no harm, there can be no foul.

Again, in my unqualified opinion, the offers, promises, expectations, expectations of performance, reliance or reliances upon promises made, and requirements for satisfactory discharge of duty were very different than those involving an interstate carrier. Thus, the correlation that you are trying to establish may be severely flawed, unsound, or lacking in merit.

Again, you really should seek the opinion of competent legal counsel here!!
