    Well I told you guys as soon as I had the chance I would let you guys know what happened at truck school and Orientation for CRST. well, the hotel was not to bad... no complaints on that from me. The school I thought was really good and all the instructors were not jerks. they all seemed like they wanted to help us learn. I aced my permit test then the following week i got the hang of driving. the instructor swore up and down i had driven a truck before:biggrin_2554:. I passed the skills test with only 2 missed out of 10 and then passed the road test. then last monday i started orientation for CRST and all i heard was bad things about it. and thier pay really sucks too but hey gotta pay your dues!!.. I went to the DMV and got the paper Class A. I now have to go to TSA for fingerprinteing to finish my HazMat process. Overall it was a good experiance ("the people i met and school"). BUT!!!! a few things really go me mad... before you leave, the recruiter says to bring $150 extra for food and that Mon-Fri dinner and breakfast is provided. I only ate the dinner twice cuz it looked like prison food and the stale bagels for breakfast wasnt cutting it either. that $150 went fast and i ended up using over $550. then once you complete the school and go to orientation you dont get those advanced meals anymore and they try sending everyone to a crack head lot lizard motel at the TA in Fontana, Ca. alot of people had been waitng for almost a month for thier trainer too. so its some good and alot bad. the best part was only the school. if i get the opportunity to work somewhere else that "I" consider better, i will in a heart beat.. not tp mention having to switch rooms all the time... too much for me to list on here.. but hey... i made it.

    Yeah I am pretty sure that I will stick it out for a little while.... I know they are squeezing them too..lol but it will be worth it in the long run... ohh and i forgot one more thing that i couldnt believe.. one of the girls that works in the "Safety" department sometimes drives us back to the hotel and she was doing 95Mph on the freeway dodging in and out of cars.. and not to mention... there was only one seat belt working in the Van..lol,, crazy huh.. Safety my ###. but yep, im going to get some experiance first..
