We as a team can get over 5500 mm per load, pay scale depends upon experience,
if you start w/contract you will get.22c x m. If you had your cdl you can start making .33cm it goes up every 6mo you get.1c increase.and i Think until it tops at .44cm. you could be a trainer an make more.
PS had done a lot of research n CRST is by far the only company that pays more for team drivers.
Like many other jobs there are good n bad things.
You ARE THE ONLY ONE THE CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN and your state of mind.
Well I think I said enough. GoodBless. Keep rollingheavy_metal_kid and BigRigRick Thank this. -
bluefish thanks for the info as i am leaving for cedar rapids tomarrow night. do the teams split the .33 cpm or do you get paid for your miles that you drive?
-
We split miles only. You get pay x experience. A new person w/contract gets .22cm.
If this is your first time driving, 1 thing if the trainer that you will get is not teaching you at all, Pls get a hold of dispatch and ask to change trainer, Don't have to explain just said it's not working out, but if you get one that is teaching you n personality clash try to stay n work with it, Because every time you change trainers it may just take you longer to get another trainer and it will take a lot more time to finish your training. God Bless N good luck.Don't give up.Baack Thanks this. -
thanks for the advice. luckily im supposed to get .31 cpm based on my experience. we shall see how it goes ill keep ya'll posted

Blue is right about the trainers. I had one who didn't even know how to back in a straight line much less a dock and he was trying to teach me how to back. it was a joke. if you have one who does not teach get a different one. if you have one with a personality conflict as long as it is not messing with him teaching you stay with it.

Just curious... You have 2 years (verifiable?) and they require you to go with a trainer?
I mean I could understand a week or whatever maybe to learn any particulars about their specific companies way of doing things but... is that required of any driver signing on with them? Going with a trainer I mean?
Peace Out, Paul -
sorry for the late response, been on the road.
ok, i had been at crst that long. n yes it has to be verifiable, also if you had not driven for a while you will go with a trainer for 28 days, with or withot a contrac. -
my driving exp. is local for the past two years. i have about 4 months otr with c r england about two years ago. however i am still not there yet now im supposed to leave this weekend!

To be a trainer at CRST, all you need is 6 mos exp. After 6 mos into my contract, they offered a training position to me. I said "No, way!" I did not feel I had adequate experience to train a noob everything they needed to do to be successful and safe on the road. I would not want to have a 6 month trainer. Yikes.
Think about this. If a contract student trains in April, starts driving in May, at the end of October they are eligible to become a trainer. This "trainer" is now taking on trainees through the Winter months when that trainer has had very little to zero driving time in Winter conditions.
