CRST soon to be newbie. need a driver?

Sometimes shower every day is not an option, and if you think it only takes 30 mins you are kidding yourself. By the time you park, get your shower bag, and get a shower ticket 10 mins are gone, then you may have to wait 10-20 mins for an open shower. I dunno about you but I always use a shower as an oppurtunity to take a healthy dump in the privacy of my own bathroom. Then shave, shower, brush teeth, etc. I plan on at least an hour for a shower.

And sometimes I'm parked at a shipper/receiver or rest stop. The longest I have went without a proper shower is 3 days, but baby wipes are adequate substitution between showers.

 

They never put the time in the loads to take a shower.

 

my BF , is coming to crst he has 3 mo. experience and coming from covenent transport ( OMG). He is mature 52 yo white male. and is clean.
thay are going to give him a deciated route humm. hope thay are not lying to him.

My buddy started there last year at 22cpm split......They are nowhere near 45cpm split to start.

 

Every load I've done for crst has had time for a shower, daily.
Every single one.
Not one load that i've been offered or planned on the truck had a greater than 50mph average.
That's from Oct'10 to Today.

 

OMG thats only .11cpm, how can thay do that

 

did you see my post shame, ??

 

They can do that because they are putting over 100 students a week,every week of the year to replace the ones who leave after they do there 8 months of free labor for them.They dont care about you.

 

wow, i was just going to ask about crst. Does anyone know of a trucking company that wont screw the new guy?

 

Most of them treat newbies the same. Low pay to start, charge you for a lot of stuff they say you need, and keep you out as long as they possibly can before you get any home time.
