    Good luck with that. It no longer exists. Anyway CRST is not as bad as you may have heard or read. A lot of ppl complain to dispatchers and whine and moan. Well they get tired of it and that's wheb u get low miles and crap loads. I say suck it up show them you mean business and you get miles. 6077 miles this week and I had about 24 downtime. We RUN like crazy cuz we proved ourselves. Try it out.

    I say stick it out and keep a good attitude. They have taken pretty good care of us. We are new but I was told - Don't ever turn down a load and don't be late.. It has worked for me so far. I did recruit a friend from home for my co-driver. Some have found it hard to find the "right one". Attitude is everything.. Loads are slow but if you want miles team up and encourage your dispatch. It's not all their fault. I thank mine ever chance I get for working so hard for me.
    Most large trucking companys are the same. Trying to save every last dime in these hard times. Some are not even hiring and most shut down their training programs.

    I'm going on week 2 of my 28 days of training of and so far we have a real good dispatcher. The only main problem I have is me and my trainer bump heads at times but other than that he's a pretty good trainer. Right now we have been waiting for a load for about 2 days here in Dallas but it's not much my dispatcher can do as freight is scarce.

    CRST IS ALL ABOUT YOUR DISPACTHER IF YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE U WILL BE FINE. YOUR DISPATCHER IS HOW U GET UR TRUCK AND IF THEY HAVE GOOD EQUIPMENT THEN UR GOOD BUT IF U GET ONE THAT HAS ALOT OF BAD TRUCKS U WILL PROB GET A DIRTY TRUCK AND ALL JACKED UP LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN TRUCK WAR. I AM A TRAINER HERE AND LEASE O/OP ITS OK SOME DAYS I COULD SCREAM CAUSE NIGHT AND WEEKEND DISPATCH SUCK IF U NEED SOMETHING GET IT B4 UR DAY GUY LEAVES. CRST IS FULL OF ALOT OF NEW GUYS SO UR PARTNER MIGHT BE A ROOKIE I WOULD STAY UP AND WATCH THEM B4 I WENT TO SLEEP TO MAKE SURE THEY COULD DRIVE. WE AVERAGE ABOUT 18 ACCIDENTS A DAY HERE MAINLY DUE TO LACK OF SLEEP AND EXPERIENCE. SO MY FRIEND CRST IS JUST LIKE THE REST IT HAS ITS BAD AND GOOD. OH AND DNT GET HYPED ABOUT GETTING PAID 2 A WEEK ITS NOT ALL THAT UNLESS U HAVE A GREAT DISPATCHER AND OUR TERMINALS HAVE NOTHING ON WERNERS. I USE TO WORK THERE ALSO THEY WERE OK I MADE GOOD MONEY AND HAD A BAD ### PETE DNT KNOW IF U SHOULD HAVE LEFT THERE TO COME HERE. GOOD LUCK THOUGH:biggrin_2554:
