I never had a problem from out of there, never spent more than 12 hours......been there at least 8-9 times.........huh I'm sitting here in chicago now for the second day, got here 5pm sunday what a waste of day.............did manage to get laundry done haircut and shopping for truck though.......huh maybe not a total waste after all HAHAHAHAHHAHA
I just hated the parking lot, that is one of the hardest places to find a spot that I have personally come across. It's also riddled with potholes....Where are you sitting near Chicago? Gary Ind or Minooka Ill?
I tend not to go to tkstop unless very close by. Too much going the the wrong direction when it comes to the next load. Just find the nearest walmart pklot. A couple of times went to the tkstop closest and wound up having to go miles in the opposite direction.......... Delivered in elk grove,il. next load wound up coming out of elmhurst. In PA. now dropping in the north heading to carlisle for a whole lot of maint. So we know how this is going to go.
Lucky you, I am STILL sitting at home playing the co-driver game. In the meantime my bills are getting behind and I am bored off my ##*. I am still trying to find out where this "Gold Rush" is.....I am thinking it's with another company...because if I sit for another day, I am just gonna call dispatch and tell them to shove it. It seems like every person I call or calls me has some sort of social problem, doesn't smoke or has a pet in the truck. I am sorry, when it comes to team driving, pets have no place in the truck unless your teaming with your wife....personally, I don't wanna share a bunk with half the scumbags that work for CRST, much less a dog too....Good god I should have done more research into this outfit before I signed up...lol.
ya i was just in pa terminal and two guys got canned for drinking at the hotel . hey all crst drivers i am on 6 months and getting great miles loving the warm weather here in cali going to pa from here then to home in ma. been out 1 month average 7000 miles a week.not bad.driving dedicated conway love it.life is good at CRST.am missing wife if you know what i mean.
Just about everything you said I understand or agree with, it is hard dealing with co-drivers............ You are still under contract correct? That other guy um........jl he is just going out with trainer correct? Have you talked to him personally? If you want to continue in this industry try not to give up yet, you will do yourself alot of harm.................
Norest, they tried to can a couple guys for drinking at the bar next to the hotel when I was in orientation...but when they pointed out that a veteran CRST driver was buying them the beers, they quickly piped down. I am sorry, I am an adult, no one is going to tell me when I can and cannot have a beer as long as I am following DOT regs. Basically, if I can lose my CDL over something, I don't do it. I am glad you're having a great time. I am assuming you may have had some experience before you got on or you have a wife who works and doesn't mind the slave wages they pay to teams or you are solo. I won't badmouth the company, because when I am on the road, its not bad....but when payday comes, you wanna cry...LOL
