Accomadations

So I have decided to go to crst. It is my option at this point due to my circumstances. It is what I need to do to get my feet back in the door. I have seen some things about how the facility up there is not so nice and is set up in a bunk setting.I am having a hard time with this since everything i see or read is like 2 or 3 years old. My question is , I will be there for 2 weeks, I see on google there is a roadway inn across the street. Since in the long run I pay for my stay at their facility anyway, i am wondering if the roadway inn gives a good rate or does anyone know of another hotel close buy that does? If I can get close to what I would pay the company I am willing to go that route in order to have a bit of a self sustaining accommodation rather than a dorm setting. Also, i would not have self transportation so that would be another thing to factor in. Any suggestions from anyone who has been there and done that? Please I would like to hear from someone who was there somewhat recently and not "dont go there ,there are ripping you off, bottom feeders etc, I am doing what I need to do for myself.

 

yup I figured I couldnt go without some smart remarks there Milkman719. Yes I do know how it is to be in a truck and in a truck with a teammate. It is not my first rodeo. Drove over the road about 5 years, some years ago and have been driving trucks since I was 18 back when there was no such thing as a cdl. Not that I need to give you a resume of my experiance Mr 3 years. My point is if I have to pay out of my pocket at least I could have a room not basic training.O and I would never join the armed forces, I just wanted to know if the "barracks" were ok and were not disgusting like a 3rd world country or smelled like a%%. I saw some pretty nasty pictures/videos about the conditions. I will do great in training cause I was born to drive a truck.
O and thanks for you straight up answer Pattyj

 

Ok Milkman. I apologize for my rant. I was just aggravated because most times on these forums all you get is smarta$$$ answers and I just want to hear something down to earth. I'm not getting back out here to play games on a forum. Im 45 and not into bantering about simple things. I actually have more than 15 yrs truck experience but i thought that would be a neutral number not to show that i know it all because I dont. I learn something new everyday. Im not a super trucker. Yes its not typical to spend money out front but luckily I have a good support behind me that I can do this. The company charges me 150 for the accommodations anyway just not up front it would be deducted from my pay, so thats why I figured whats the difference if I can get a lil comfort before living in the ol box again with a co driver. If it was a few days thats one thing, no problem, but 2 weeks whew! Im not rich I just have good family and friends.Hopefully we could become forum friends here and help each other out from time to time, and you live in one of my favorite states. Be safe out there and happy trucking. Shaggy0824
