a few weeks ago I was at the Pilot in Fort Wayne, IN and I was walking across the parking lot and I was stopped by these 2 females in a CRST truck asking me "hey can you back this in for us? we'll give you $10"
first off, there were no parking spots there, but secondly there were 2 of them, surely 1 can back and the other spots.
but do they really take 2 rookies and shove them into a truck? that sounds dangerous, how do they know you'll even get along?
a few hours later I saw another CRST truck with 2 guys in it....so again they run teams?
am I reading too deep into something or do they really do this?
does CRST really do this? or am I reading too deep into something

Yep. And it isn't just CRST that does this. The sad part is; one of those two may have actually been considered a "trainer", since a very large number of these "trainers" for these companies are inexperienced, recently "graduated" students.
-
Yes. They really do that?
Now, for the important question. Where they attractive?bigdogpile, lcfd15, fuzzeymateo and 6 others Thank this. -

I bet they gave up and park in the fuel island. That's how steering wheel holders are made
Drac1985, Anonymousproxy and PChase Thank this. -
Yes they do put two new drivers in a truck after they complete training. My sons there now, his contract is finished.
His trainer I meet him, seemed like a good guy, had been driving for 6 years and a trainer for 2 years, owned his own tractor. My son already knew alot about trucks prior, But discussing the trainer afterward I found no problems wih how he was trained, very simular with how my Dad trained me back in the 70's.
He has had a couple of codrivers that were not too desirable, requested them be pulled off his truck and CRST did so without arguement.
His current codriver has a couple of months less experience but they get along well, and both seem to have good common sense about driving.
In this case it has worked out well, Im sure it does not always, bt if the two driver help each other it can be a good situation. -
don't think it's just crst. had a gordon driver a while back ask me to do the same thing at a rcvr. and i'm terrible at backing.

Lol 10 dollars to back really and 2 drivers in the truck which 1 could spot the other seems weird and I doubt either one was a trainer, maybe fresh graduates
