CRST Cat Dedicated story. If your thinking of CRST, Read this.

I live in Florida, they have a cat facility in Miami Lakes, so I figured I'd call CRST and see whats up. Long story short, I have been with them since May, and loving it. I got a excellent co driver, we've gone from Morton Illinois to Cali, Cali to Fla, since May, we have averaged 6000 miles a week, consistant. I can honestly say that, I am enjoying this gallivant with CRST. Good miles, same locations, you get to know the people, the roads, etc.

If your interested in going to CRST, ask about dedicated. And for god sakes, dont let them bully you into expedited. Expedited SUCKS!

I was looking for the Caterpillar locations on their website but, I cant find it. So I will rattle off the ones I know off the top of my head (ive been to).

Spokane Washington, Arvin California, Morton Illinois (mossville, bartonville, and 3 others I cant remember), Clayton Ohio, Waco Texas, Indiana, Carol Stream Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kansas City. There are more, but I dont know there locations.

 

Here is the link I was looking for http://www.drivecrst.com/ and click hiring areas.

 

I also got a 2014 freightliner cascadia with 20.5 miles on it. There are 4 dispatchers for Dedicated Cat, they are based out of Morton Illinois, you will get very familiar with Morton, if you go dedicated.

 

I'm going to Heartland Express in September.

 

I'm tired of the whole team thing. If CRST had solo runs, I'd stay, but they dont, so I am going to a company with solo runs. Simple as that.

 

I took their refresher course back in June of last year, and it was about a good 6 weeks before I saw a check.
