1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

    welp i lost the best job i ever had,if ya didnt know,i was hauling wood chips otr.I was home every weekend and if i ever needed off the boss never complained.I was makeing desent money,$2,500.00-$3,200.00 a week and loved the job.Aparently the boss was doing something wrong not sure what is was but he finally got caught and they shut us down and pulled his license.So now im pondering on what to do now.Ive been down for a month now because of personal issues and now im haveing a hard time finding a job because of the gap in my so called past 6months experiance.I got a job offer for crst,i know they have there ups and downs but i got to pay the bills.So hit me up and let me know what you think.

    Not sayin' anything about CRST..... never worked for them.

    Don't take the first offer you get though, hang in there and try to make some options for yourself. You can do better than a training company.

    With only a month off your having trouble with the gap? Keep looking you will find a company looking for exp. One month off shouldn't matter.

    From everything I hear even with knight being a bad company I would much rather work for them than CRST by a long shot. Sorry to hear that happen. Maybe the boss will get it together, pay his due's and get his business(?) license back and do it the right way next time. What about that dump truck position you were talking about? Is it still avalible? If it is, jump on it.

    Sometimes you may be better off NOT knowing!:biggrin_2559:

    As for the dump truck job, a lot of them pull a pup or two, but I know what you mean. It just isn't the same. And the people you have to deal with in aggregate jobs. . .:biggrin_25513:
