You can start at Swift for .27 cpm, and Trans Am for .32 .... why be in truck hell for .22 cpm when you don't have too? Likely others like US Express pay better than CRST too.

back in 2000-2001 is when I went to truck driveing school threw CRST they sent me north little rock Ar for 3 weeks which I called 3 weeks of hell but that's another story.. out of 37 ppl 7 of us made it. when we all got back to Pa to start our new job's.. after one day they came to me and said they couldn't hire me to this day I never found out why...so I was told to go home... about 2 weeks later I got some paperwork in the mail I had to pay them $2000 for schooling and whatnot... I got myself a lawyer cause when I signed their contact saying I was promised a job after I went threw their training and everything... CRST broke their own contact and I didn't owe a #### thing

Just an update from me: NOT going to go with CRST. I'm going with Schneider. Really would like to take more time on researching different companies but I can't afford it, and Schneider looks good and I've gotten about a half dozen recommendations just from people on here, so...... at this point, have an orientation set with Schneider for March 27th in Indianapolis. Can't decide if I'm more nervous or excited!

what you told me sounds pretty much exactly like what the recruiter told me. not sure if i want to team or not, anybody have any advice/stories/experience to share?

Here is something to add to the good of Schnieder. If you are going to team drive for them then they will pay you like a team should be which is splitting the pay and not by splitting the miles which is what CRST does. Now I am going to do some simple and easy math for you so you can see why splitting pay is better.
Splittling Miles (CRST way)
1300 miles run
Driver 1 drives 600 miles of it
Driver 2 drives 700 miles of it
Both make .33 cpm
Both drivers get paid for 650 miles
650 miles x .33 cpm = 214.50 for a total of 429.00 dollars
Splitting pay (how most team drivers get paid)
1300 miles x .49 cpm (typical team pay) = 637.00 dollars
Each driver makes 318.50
318.50 is obviously better than 214.50
You can drive solo for any company and make more money as CRST and you wont have to share a truck with someone else or drive team for cheap. -
Oh,and,cant help but add,they gave us a free mcnally road atlas,ice cleets for our boots and....wait for it...wait for it....Our driver number,comcard with 200.00 advance on it <which i dont need but was cool> and they have great health insurance... -
I was an owner op with malone.Malone was a great company then...they merged with crst...end of story.
