    I have been out of work for just over 1 year, and it took a lot of aplications before I found a job. Trucking companies can pick and choose drivers at there whim these days. As many here said, you need to fill out ap's on company web sites. I got lucky, I posted an ad on craigs list, and I found a O/O that gave me a job driving his very well maintaned truck. I go back out at the end of this week. So hang in there, a job will pop up and you will be out making money. Good luck.

    CRST called and said they consider my two years as a homemaker employment. Outta the 80 applications I sent out they're the only ones who seem interested. Werner and USA Truck turned me down, and nobody else has called.

    CRST has a bad rep (likely for good reason) but if it's what you have to do to get your foot in the door then I would say go for it!

    I'll use them until I get some experience. They gotta be good for that.

    You need to be a squeaky wheel. Call them if they don't call you.
