    We'll see how much change there is going to be... Maybe bunches, maybe little... Hopefully it will include pay increases :D yeah right!!

    I'm not employed by CRS (yet). However I did some questioning of at least 1 recruiter at CRS and double checked with a Swift HR rep (I tend to get info from both sides just for accuracy). CRS does fall under Swift, however they are their own department and the vehicles will still remain stenciled as CRS. I asked, because I'm going through the application phase now and all the stuff I've been getting has Swift on it. I won't be there til early Feb, so I checked to make sure I wouldn't be repeating processes if it's gonna change. I was assured by both sides, it's gonna stay as it is now.

    you should not need the key on for it to work, what kind of truck do you have? and its a webasto right? I can run my heater full blast for hours on end without starting the truck, I normally only need it on low though, you might want to get your batteries checked if they are dieing quick
