So after driving and doing a few lease purchase programs, hubby and I have decided to try CRST on the van side. He was previously a trainer there, so he knows their system somewhat on the company side. I know some will try to talk us out of it, but we have a plan and we're going with it. Soooo.. Just a few questions:
1. What does the average husband/wife team average weekly over there running on 70% of the load?
2. I know that they assign a truck to you and you don't get to pick it. What are they averaging as far as mileage on the truck and do they come with any extras or do we need to bring our existing ones? (inverters, fridge, etc..)
Anything else you can add would be great!

Wow, you pay for the truck but they assign a truck to you. Nice, where do I sign up?
Straight Stacks, Colt seavers and double yellow Thank this. -
Seems to me, not to be a smart ###, but question 2 could best be answered by CRST. Really if they can't or won't or you don't trust them for info. I say run the other direction.

Can't think of much positive to say on the topic . . .
Straight Stacks Thanks this. -

Don't ya mean fleece purchase? Never hear anything good about em.

Signing a lease with Schneider's choice plan would be a better option if you've convinced yourselves to lease. At least with them you can pick your own loads, and pick out your own tractor. Or a much better idea would be to finance a truck, and lease onto Farm2Fleet. They pay 80% of the line haul rate.

Why not got to Schneider's Choice program or Landstar? I would never let a company dispatch me if I'm making payments on the truck and paying everything else. I pick my loads and plan my self off the load board on the internet. I never have to wonder where then good paying freight is, I just look, and route myself there. I can go home for as long as I want, whenever I want. No commitments to anything but my $350 a week truck payment. Also, don't get a truck from the company you are leased onto, if you can help it.
Colt seavers Thanks this. -
