CRST Bound/ Need Co Driver

Be careful when these outfits promise you a dedicated route. They play the bait and switch game all the time.

After you go through all their orientation and training, they will tell you the dedicated position has been filled.

 

That actually does happen.

 

Ask them to put it in writing that you will be on a dedicated route. Bet they won't do it.

 

If CRST is willing to give you a chance I would think other companies will also.Have you applied to many companies?Untill you're 100%positive you wanna sign that 8 month contract ,I would look elsewhere.You know what a contract means don't you?It means they own you till you completed it.I have spoke to more CRST teams that get solo loads and sit alot.

 

Exactly. One of the recurring themes with these training contracts is, what if they decide to starve you out? Can you live on $200 per week? Think it won't happen?

Also if they fire you, you are still on the hook for the tuition costs.

 

If the company is not wanting a misdemeanor out 10 but a felony out to 7 they know what they are doing. I mean if you are doing crime do it big time. Who wants someone that only puts a little effort into anything.

When you team, as long as the other person is safe and clean, you will be fine. You do not see all that much of each other. You work different 10s. It is best to 10 and 10 not 11 and 11. stop for quick meals, do not loan money to the other driver, and you should be okay.

As for any company being bad, they all have drivers driving for them so someone has to be making a living.
