Driver Shortage?

Sorry first post here.

I’ve just been offered a job with Aldi driving class 2 and been told they are gonna but me through my class 1 in three months and they will pay for it.

Is this too good to be true? I’m buzzing, been trying to get myself through class 1 for years but not had the money or time! Sick of working at my place now doing multi-drop.

This is a common practice for companies. They supply extra training, (class 1, ADR, etc) but get you to sign a lock-in clause. Meaning if you leave within 2-3 years you’ll be liable to pay back the cost of the training.

I believe the amount you have to pay back normally diminishes over the lock-in period though so if the lock-in is for two years and you leave after a year then you only have to pay back 50% of the cost.
