CRST Malone (Flatbed Division) SUCKS!

Well Moverman, I ask plenty questions. They even said so. They set the whole plan out for you plain and simple. They even have what they call an expectation evaluation. You tell them what you expect to make and how hard you want to run and they let u know if you could make the amount you want with the time you expect to be out. The only thing that pissed me off is that I was not allowed to choose my truck initially; I was issued one. However if for any reason I wasn't happy with that truck I could get another one. I picked my trailer and equipment up yesterday n grabbed a coil headed down to alabama. 812 miles 1785 load revenue plus 295 fsc. After their 25% its 1633.75 total goin to the truck. Fixed expenses are 865 on a regular week, but I don't have a trk payment for the first 3 wks and I only pay half of the trlr rent this week. And they gave me free fuel money, which filled my tank. That's not mandatory though. If this was the only load I did this week I would still bring home 1000 net. So far so good.

fuel money is not free they will take that out of your settlement and it sounds like you are going into this feeling good i hope it stays good for you, i own my own truck had some good weeks most weeks i broke even or not enough money to pay bills. i am not trying to discurage you but just saying get with a couple good agents so it stays good. good luck to you

 

I have heard the good,& the bad,and am still considering Malone. My big question is: do they actually follow thru with what they say ? Are they honest ? I have no problem running a biz,& "networking" with the agents,etc...just am big on a companies character,& am very curious of that.

 

IF they r honest with you it will just be for a few weeks than they tell you what you want to here and do something different

 

@red77 no I have a fuel account with funds in it. Anything withdrawed out of of it is charged to me. I was given extra money for fuel to make up for a deadhead. Picked the truck up in iowa and the trailer in indy. As far as them being honest and all that I don't trust any company farther than I can throw them. I talk to the agents more than I talk to crst lol. My only contact with them is in the morning to let em know im not dead and I'm still on schedule to deliver.

 

a fuel account, u still have to pay that back dont you if not i need an account like that. every bit of fuel money i ever got i had to pay back even the fuel they said they was giving me to go pick up my trailer they took it out of my first settlement

 

I have a fuel account. Any funds in the account come out my settlement. However, they got this thing called complimentary fuel, or comp fuel, that they give if u have to do an deadhead to go do them a favor. That money is not charged to u. I got it when I first got the truck because my truck was in iowa n my trailer was in indianapolis. Pulling it a couple days now and I must say it is not the best trailer lol.

 

must be something they just started i didnt get that

 

well i got the word today that i'm approved for malone go for my oreintion before christmas lets see what there all about from everthing i've read and heard you better use the load boards and watch your fuel advance in other words hustle the network and agents an run dont sit and wait for someone to do it for you and watch your own money motto RUN SMART

 

# jusahick let me know how you like it. I have my own truck. I like to leas it on with them.
