    That is a big ouch, isn't it. Looks like I will be at CRST orientation next week. I had started a few months ago, but ran into some paperwork problems and I just said heck with it. Guess I'm ready to give it another shot now.

    all i can say is pick your co-driver ahead of time. But i had mine picked out even before i started and im still sitting at home waiting for them to route him home to pick me up. Hes in the truck with another codriver right now and i guess HIS codriver isn't gonna be ready until Saturday. in the mean time i have been sitting at home for 2 weeks with no pay. not a good way to start working for a company. they were fast to get me in a truck with a trainer but since i got released from the truck ive been on my own. not so much as a phone call from them to let me know what is going on.

    yea thats how it goes, when i was with werner i got paid while waiting for a trainer so it helped out. It does help to have a co driver picked or find someone in school or orientation.
