    Don't fall for the lies from these scam artist recruiters that work for this company ! Don't fall for their crap and get sucked into signing their contract.I just got done out there and got my cdl from Kirkwood and got a rental car and left as fast as I could before I had to sign the contract in orientation which I would've started orientation today.That company is nothing but a money hungry scam ! I'll pay them back what I owe which is the bus ticket,the 1 week I spent in a hotel and the 2 weeks in their dorm which is $ 150.00 a week for a room with 3 beds.If you decide to go their you'll see what you get to pay a $150.00 a week for ! Don't plan on buying food and using the refridgerators that they have there in the common area because people will steal it. You'll be living on ramen,cup of noodles and pnut butter and jelly sandwhiches like I did or you have the choice of KFC,Arbys Mcdonalds,Papa Johns near by. Bring plenty of money because you'll go broke fast.And good luck trying to get to Wal-mart They'll take you but may just decide to not pick you back up like they did to a bus full of people one night while I was their.Wal-Mart is like 3 miles so you'll have a nice walk when they decide to change their minds.The recruiters tell you that you'll only be their for 3 weeks then do a 3 day orientation then you go out for 28days with a lead driver then come back in and you get to go home.So that makes 7weeks WRONG ! add 2 more weeks on top of that so after you come in on your 28 days you go out another 2 weeks with your co-driver then after that you get to go home for like 3-4 days before you have to go back out.So bring enough money !!! oh and if you leave and don't bring your bedding back to the front lobby and just leave it in the bin on your bed they'll try and charge you an extra $250.00 like they're trying to do to me and a few others who left over this past weekend.Which is funny because I never signed and agreed to anything that said "If I leave I'll be charged $250 for not bringing my bedding to front lobby" Just another scam they're trying to pull ! Don't work for these miserable lying scumbags !!! :biggrin_25516:

    Guess they changed things use to be when you arrived on Sunday if you were put up in the dorm you signed a paper stating you got bedding that same piece of paper also said it was a hundred dollar fee if they were not returned. And Monday morning first thing you did was walk over to the admin building and sign your 8 month contract then return to due your pee test and physical then off to kirkwood. Did you pay for kirkwood out of your own pocket or did CRST pay for it.?

    Really not trying to give you a hard time or anything man, but didn't you start a thread on here a month or two ago hoping for positive info about this company? Didn't the thread go on for like 7 or 8 pages of people telling you to stay away?
    Again, not trying to give you crap or anything, at least you got your CDL. I wish you the best of luck!
