    me and my cousin will be team diving for them. if there is any1 that works there or that had a good experience with them your comments are welcome, if your a whiner go whine somewhere else. sorry to be so blunt. do you have any upfront info that would help us out along the way? they will be renting us a rental car so there wont be a long boring bus ride. and i understand the money wont be great my first 6 mos but i gotta get my foot in the door somewhere

    How do you figure that? It's 22 cents paid to the truck, then split between the drivers. If that trucked rolled 3000 miles the truck gets paid $660 dollars, each driver get $330.00. Each driver didn't drive 3000 miles. If both were fair they each drove 1500 miles.

    For your friend to make $200 a week that team drove far less than 3000 miles. So what is the rest of your friends story?

    thats pretty much all i can tell you now, he also told me they didnt give them many miles..they would be given a whole bunch of short runs...he ended up quiting and goin else where but that isnt the 1st time i have heard that about crst....and 330.00 in a week is not very much money. You be better off going solo somewhere. just my opinion..good luck to you

    lol thats just stupid. any threads you look at on here are full of bad news. this is why i wanted to hear from people that drove for them, not i was told by a friend bs. maybe he was lazy and didnt wanna run, maybe it was crst. when you only get 1 side of a story its hard to know what happened.

    Good luck
    My son just completed his first week on the road with a trainer, he is loving it.
    He got his first check yesterday and it was much better than what I expected he would make.
    Oh he and his trainer are getting good miles too.
     
    RESPECT Thanks this.

    thanks landshark, thats what i wanted to see, i read ur post where ur son was starting with them. i hope all goes well with ur son. i wantd to start sooner but my cuz had to put in his 2 week notice with his current employer, so im just waiting. i was told the first check would bearound 350 depending on miles while in training. if he go more than that than thats great. maybe ill meet him while im out, do you plan to go with them as well?

    No I won't be teaming up with him, as long as my current employer keeps the doors open. I have a sweet deal where I am and don't want to give it up.
    Plus I have done my time doing the 48 states thing. I am home evey 4 days lol.
    I love my kid but he has to earn his own stripes.
