    Just p/u a new student. My last one failed. Could not control the cmv. Dispatch said drop em at crst and p/u new guy....back to square one with solo freight until my student is caught up...low miles...lots of time inbetween appointments ...cheap n heavy low paying loads...I hope my guy gets in the otr zone quick. My last guy only took 3 days and was up to speed on things. He ran great! He would put in 500-600 miles a day without any problems. I got great sleep during my restarts and my student passed with high scores.

    a lot of please don't know though is with the van and Malone you can pick your on freight from job boards I have a co driver I make roughly 1300/wk after all expenses, it's a hard program and yes I've seen red but not that much after I got out of the company mentally you must treat it like a business to succeed

    Doesn't the $.06 per a mile reduction say it all; You do the work to train THEIR driver, you take on the additional costs of running a inexperienced driver in the truck you are responsible for and they doc pay from you! What a scam.

    In no other occupation or contractual situation would that make sense; More work, less pay, that is what the lease scam is about.

    I always surprised so many fall for it.

    Lease purchase programs should be OUTLAWED. Those programs are nothing but Ponzi schemes on wheels.

    If they did this to the average consumer, there would be an investigation by the attorney General. But it's just truck drivers so who cares?
    To answer the question of this thread: NEITHER.! BOTH COMPANIES AND THEIR LEASES STINK!
    That is my opinion. I don't have first hand experience with either one. Here is the basis for my theory. These companies make a substantial amout of revenue from freight logistics. They supplement their profit by squeezing and cheating drivers out of what rightfully belongs to the drivers.
    Now if my opinion (which is widely shared in this industry) is true, or at least has basis of fact, then I ask you. What the hell kind of lease do you think they offer?

    Crst is a scam company. Don't lease for them. They stick you as a trainer and charge you for having a student in the truck. It's a crap deal. I wouldn't even drive for them as a company driver if I knew then what I know now. I drive for them for 9 months. Worst pay and worst company of my trucking career.

    CRST is the absolute worse trucking company to work for in the USA. Anybody who works there is a fool.

    When do they figure a student isn't a student any more. That sounds like a really crappie way to run a company .Forcing students to team. Accidents waiting to happen. Stay clear.
