    cancel that and find literally any other company to drive for. there isnt one company as bad as them and im pretty sure everyone else will agree. for your own sanity and sake go somewhere else

    I am going to school at CRST next month. I personally know 2 drivers who are currently with them and finishing up their 8 month contract, 1 driver will be leaving and going somewhere else, the other driver is staying and I will be his co-driver for my 8 month commitment. I haven't heard too much negative from them, crappy pay but as long as you get your loads there on time and are a runner it is my understanding they will keep you moving. But, please understand my info is SECOND HAND info. I have also heard some bad horror stories! And from what understand they dont have a good safety rating.
     
    MUDSUN30 Thanks this.

    Have you looked at the pay charts on their website? If not I think you should take a look. If you have your cdl already and are going to orientation then you should know what to expect, no? Maybe I am wrong.

    You'd be better off to go with Covenant or CR England or heck even Prime Inc than Cedar Rapids Specialneeds Transport. Lol
