CRST Truck Stop

i agree. most posters on here sound like rookies (no offense). i will not defend crst or take it personal when i'm not making ends meet....afterall this IS a business.gotta watch out.would i recommend crst? depends who you are and what your interests are. how do you run? how experienced are you? does your wife let you truck otr? are you anti-social? (critical for team driving) do you like trucking? how old are you (as in, how mature).....stuff like that..can you make a living at crst? yes AND no. that simple. do i? yes, sometimes LOL

 

It is very surprising that the company does not have direct deposit. That would make paying bills online extremely difficult if funds are not directly deposited into ones credit union savings or checking account. I GENUINELY and TRULY hope that the company has changed this policy and has direct deposit.

 

If you complete CRST'S CDL training successfully @ their main school, Kirkwood-- you'll have a whopping 10+ hours behind the wheel training. Think about risking your life teamed with someone else equally trained. Read this article. It could surely happen with ANY company, unfortunately, but with such feeble training, it's more likely at CRST: http://www.local8now.com/home/headlines/Wreck_shuts_down_25W_I-75S_detour__151674835.html

BUT WAIT - there's more:

Read incident that happened a month ago -- about the CRST trainer who murdered his trainee. Looks like the trainee had the rap sheet. The following link give more info about the incident http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/201...emi-near-truck-stops-in-southern-dallas.html/ but this report doesn't identify CRST.

One that does identify CRST follows - http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/08/21/driver-of-18-wheeler-charged-after-dead-body-found-in-cab/

 

What about the one that happened a few months ago regarding a mountain an cliff accident ? I can never find the wreck storys

 

They sorta do, You have to call comdata and the comdata card is linked to you Bank. When we get paid on Tuesday at noon I will call comdata and the money will be in my bank by midnight the same day.

 

I start school with crst in 2 weeks in fontana. Does anyone know the name of the school and how many days a week the school is i'm hoping 6-7 days a week. YES i'm gonna prepay the school so i can get on the road and run 4 to 5 weeks at a time

 

I do believe its 7days a week, pack some dust masks before you leave

 

Umm for Fontana, full out bio masks might work better...lmao

 

thanks for the info.

 

Hey Bolts, the reason we say that is Fontana yeard is VERY, VERY dusty. Its a dirt lot that has been baking in california sun for years, so theres a 2 inch layer of baby powder like dust on the ground, spread over a five-ish acre lot. If you fart, you kick up a cloud...lol
