Schneider or CRST

CRST will make you pay for your bus fare, dot physical, drug test, and hotel. Schneider pays for all of that stuff.

 

That's different than the info I just got from my recruiter # CRST. Kinda makes one think, huh?

 

Good post James. I just met a SN driver up the street from my house...had already heard good things about them...he added to the good things and now your post. Look like SN may be getting a "rookie" "over-the-road" hauler soon. Best wishes and be safe. Michael

 

Great post Karen76. Blessings to you and be safe.

 

CRST is probably the only big company worse than SWIFT.

 

I drive for crst.

They pay 25cpm until 3 months, then 30. They just initialized't this 15% pay increase last month. Before that it took 6 months to get 30cpm. My guess is because they were losing too many drivers to other companies that pay better with little experience.

The worse part about crst is teams. Teaming is difficult unless you are lucky enough to land someone you can click with.

They have the frieght and if you like to roll they will keep you rolling.

I've heard much good info about Schneider and wish I'd had went with them to begin with. Honestly the only reason I didn't is because I had smoked some cannabis a few months before I finally decided to get into this career and knew schnieder did hair follicle tests and crst only did urine.

Now that I'm positive I can pass any drug test because it's been more than 6 months I'm looking to move on to jbhunt or schneider until I have enough experience to work for a smaller fleet closer to home and not just be a number any more.

Good luck driver.

 

I vote for don't work for a mega company.
Crap pay. Crap trucks. Office holding your hand and babysitting you. Flock that.
Grow a pair grow up find a real carrier or a better job.

 

Grow a pair?
What smaller fleet will hire me for decent pay with barely 5 months experience?

 

I will point something out here. Do not be too confident about your freedom to switch companies as a new driver.

Yes, with no contractual obligation, you are free to change employers, but this industry, or at least the companies that pay decently, want to see stability. Stay with whoever you start with for at least six months - preferably a year. If you absolutely must move to another company before six months is up, try not to move again for at least a year.

Job-hopping early in a driving career generates all sorts of red flags in the recruitment departments of the best companies to work for. There is competition to get into those companies. Red flags mean you are at the bottom of the pile of resumes.

 

isn't CR England the worst?
