My experience with CRST- not good!

My hubby left Wv yesterday to join CRST he is going to the school in Missouri. We have 3 SMALL children. Am I in BIG trouble here?

 

U don't even know the half of how much trouble you're in. I almost got locked up because my Child Support got so far behind, the pay is pathetic. I hope you have a savings or another job.

 

The best and only advice I can give to you is tell your husband..........

Don't piss off his dispatcher, run all his loads on time (early)p/up and deliveries and you guys will make it through the first 6 months until he gets his pay raise...........It will be tough then after he gets his 6-8 months experience in he can get a higher paying job.

Good luck..............

 

He is in Springfield missuri and is gone for 7 weeks

 

hey truckywifey where in missouri is your husband maybe your husband and mine met up my husband is in springfield missouri. I think they will be fine though honestly . Let me know though it would be great to talk to someone that is going through this right now espically if our husbands are in the same place.

 

If both of your husbands are in school and based on where you live they will probably be going to carlisle,Pa. for orientation.

If that is the case, their is a small chance 1 out of 150 chance they will be my student.....I get most of my students from carlisle.
Keep me posted and again good luck to both of you.......

 

Why 7 weeks.........?

It should only take 3 weeks......21 days

 

Is the total of 7 weeks he will be away from home. Thats what I was told. He is in Springfield Mo for the 21 days and I have no clue where he goes from there and I don't think he does either! Today is his first day of class so I will know more tonight!

 

OK I see now..........they are not letting him come home between training and orientation. It will actually be 8 weeks..........3 weeks in school, 1 week orientation (actually 4 days) then 4 weeks with a trainer (28 days)

Based on where you guys live he will probably go to carlisle,Pa. terminal xt 44 off I81.........

 

I am not sure if he will come home between training and orentation. The way it was explained to us is that he would complete the school and start on the 28 days right from the school.He would be picked up by a co-driver from the school and they would start doing runs then at the end of the 28 days he would be brought back home by his co-driver.. Is that wrong? Please let me know so I can tell him. We are having a real hard time with the 7 weeks I don't know how I will tell the kids it will be an extra week!!!!
