CRST Truck Stop

then obviously you didn't know how to run. i only drove for 5 months and i made over 8k so not sure what your problem was. its been said before if you know how to run and the company knows you know how to run then you get miles. if your late and dont know how to run then they dont give you miles.

 

you guys talking about making 8k in 5mo or 7k in 8mo are you talking net income not including food lodging and showevrs or what?
whats the real deal on the take home pay?

we all know recruiters are full of it. every one ive talked to has never even been behind the wheel of a semi.

 

food i dont count. that was net pay. 8k in 5 months. showers are free. make sure to get all your driver payback cards. lodging? what lodging? you have a rolling motel to live in.

 

I have been talking with several companies this last 2 weeks. I am mainly looking at a 20/10, 14/7 or a 7/7. If I go with CRST the 20/10 slip-seat looks like the way i'll go.
Does anyone have experience with CRST and the 20/10 program?

 

The better question should be should you go with CRST at all; the answer would be NO!! I know all companies in this industry have their problems, but I would not even think about doing THAT again!

 

Ok Ccolvin got a ? For I talked to crst about going with them I'm training at werner rite now and I've never been treated so bad in my life! I'm tryin to find a place that treats you halfway decent, you have worked for these people before are they good to there people or do they lie though there teeth too?

 

im ccolvin but i currently work for crst. i have since july of '10. they are good as long as you know what your doing and show them that you do. that means being on time, polite to customers, and polite to dispatch. i have had no problems getting reimbursed for stuff i have boughten or tolls i have taken (as long as they are approved). my pay is in the bank every tuesday and thursday as long as i have loads to scan. i am happy with them so far. im hitting my 6 month mark so i will see if i get my raise like im suppose to.

 

I have been waiting for over 2 months for reimbursements! Have been calling, lvg msgs & nobody ever calls me back. Have left msgs with mgmt on qualcom, they say they will follow up on these issues, never hear back from them either. Pay is low enough in the beginning; I don't need them hanging on to my $$ & not paying me back for these approved reimb!!! I am really pissed & so is my wife back home, trying to pay the bills!

 

what reimbursements are you trying to get? were they approved before you paid for what ever it was?

 

Since I was a pre-pay, I was not supposed to pay for a "fee" at time of schooling, but they made me pay it in cash (I have recpt) before going any further with getting employed. #2 was I double paid for my physical (they had lost the paper work from the 1st time between GA & OK (where orientation was). They have been deducting pymt totaling $100); my Hzmt cert, which the contract says they reimb. for. #3 I was a student in my trainer's truck for only 2 days, when we ran out of gas (I had mentioned to the trainer the guage was near empty, he said "we have plenty of gas!). This was back in Oct. & they just now took $75 out of MY pay for "running out of gas". Shdnt this be the resp. of the trainer? Anyway, have been waiting for 2-3 months for reimb. Have tried contacting ANYONE! but have gotten no where!
