CRST was a horrible experience

a call to OOIDA 800 715 9369 will help you find out your plans as a former truck driver.

 

Thanks for the heads up, hope it all works out

 

Lmao! Sorry dude but u didn't do an ounce of research on them uh? Hey they got u what u wanted a licence right? Did u read what u signed? And how u gonna go get a paralizing injury pulling a dry van for Gods sake? U think training was gonna be for ever? U think someone was just going to hand u the keys and pay you top dollar? U dont know how to drive!!!

 

Take it easy Rage 18.

Driver11, I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. CR England is the worst trucking company to work for. Too many fall for their tricks.

How did you get hurt ?

 

Someone needs to say the truth and state the obvious too many people on here don't offer constructive critisism just a lot of oh I feel so bad for you...my comment was to make tje OP think for a minute and hopefully think in any future decision this person is going to make. With that said I hope u recuperate from you injury and get back to work soon.

 

So is CRST.....according to Driver11

 

CRST = Crappy Recruiters Suckering Trainees.

Kinda says it all. Hope you can find some other work after you recover. Did you do van or flatbed? Flatbed I can see getting hurt but van.......door? dolly legs? tire change? I don't know if they do the last one but with these bottom feeders you never know.

 

I read the op's post over and I think his concerns are legit. And they apply to most OTR outfits, not just CRST.

And you can't get badly injured pulling dry? I know a driver that got hit in the eye by a large jar of pickles a shpr stacked up high in a misc food ld and he lost a eye and had a brain injury to boot. People get serious injury's pulling dry vans every day.
I unlded a ld of tires one day a while back and walking to the office my back popped and down I went . Stuff happens.

And I don't think he is asking for top pay as a new driver. $4-$500 a week driving a cmv in 2013 is crap pay even for a new driver.

 

A more detailed explanitation of his injury and what happened to cause it would help. I'm quite sure CRST is trying to shaft him, but everyone comes on here saying the big bad company shafted them when they got hurt on the job. The question is how and why did they get hurt, how are they now, ect... It's almost impossible to make an informed post without information. For all we know he got drunk and fell out of the truck, doubt it, but by his post you would never know one way or the other. Information, information, information !!!

The OP may have a legimate complaint, but we will probably never know. Appears to be another amongst the thousands of one post wonders through the years that have came here complaining without any real information .
