    One of my current employee drivers worked for them a long time ago and lost his ###.

    You could also talk to Dino on this forum. He was leased to them a year or so ago and did so poorly that he lost his truck and had to come off the road for quite awhile. He is back on his feet now and has another truck. I think he is with Jones now and he really seems to like it.

    I lasted 1 year there and left in a hurry... They did 3 things back to back that made me open my eyes to their true colors... They didn't hesitate to blame ME first and take $$ out of my pocket before I was found guilty..

    I was in a fender bender in Miami.. CRST immediately paid off the person who's car was damaged before the case went to court. They deducted the costs right out of my settlement. After court I was found not guilty... they didn't appoligize or replace the $$ they took out for the other persons car. ($800.00 was taken out)

    After the accident was over & I was found NOT Guilty.. The safety dept. still put a "PREVENTABLE" accident on my DAC report! They said after reviewing the details of the accident "they" felt the accident still could have been prevented??? WTF :biggrin_25513:

    I have more but to me that would be enough to say what kind of co. they are.. The pay was average.. nothing special. LOTS of steel mills, hauling heavy.. Tarping, and waiting around to get loaded. Dispatchers used to beg me to cover loads that they needed covered.. Even though they didn't pay all that great.. When I refused I would get an attitude.. (Hey it's not personal.. It's business... Low money.. NO HAUL... pretty simple hu?)

    Any other questions??
