    Every time I see a POD it is on a CR England faltbed. They do a lot of coast to coast moves.

    I'm not too thrilled about CRST but if its what they say it is I'll be ok for a bit...I've been looking at a couple other companies for dry van but they all seem to say the same stuff and I think I'm just getting tired of it all..Legally I've only been driving for 16 months but without a CDL for over 25 yrs..Alot has changed since I first started driving..

    Look at it this way, you don't have to change employers, you get easy no tarp flatbed exp, and decent pay.

    CRST tends to be less than truthful much of the time that's why there turnover rate is exploding right now. Just Sayin

    Well they were less than truthful..was told all I would have to do is strap the PODS but had to learn everything as sometimes they get back hauls and its coils with chains..Flatbedding is not for me. So just waiting on dispatcher to find me a truck so I can go back to Caterpillar Dedicated. Not too happy about having to get a codriver but gonna try and deal with it. I just knew what the recruiter said was too good to be true.

    So the CRST company trucks I see at my customer every day with the flatbeds and curtain sides are a figment of my imagination and the fleet spec gold Volvos with Malone on the door are another figment? CRST does run flatbeds and CRST Malone does run company trucks.

    From what I was told today there are about 10-15 PODS dedicated trucks on the CRST side that are not Malone..They don't advertsie for this side of CRST as they only have those trucks and the people that do the runs don't often leave..
