My adventures at CRST Malone

Yes yes you caught me. Lol ive treated the wife and little one to mini vacations every weekend ive been gone. So they have seen some of the rain too. Just because im not home doesn't mean they have to stay in, my daughters 16 months and has visited 8 beaches and 14 states. Her mom and i want to see the entire world, from the moment i met her we've traveled.

The 4x4s are just hanging out until i find where i like them on this trailer. Dont want them up front, but dont want them adding weight to the spread either.and i hate keeping lumber in the landing gear. Time will tell.

 

Charlotte isnt a bad area zt all. Starting out here trying to get home every weeked isnt wise you have to learn the system and agents then go home more often. 950-1400 for me is easily obtained for me being home on the weekend. Youll have to roll on sunday night though.

Flatbed isnt scary, or that bad with common sense, asking questions and doing things the legal way. Showering twice a day because of being sweaty anf dirty is pretty common.

We have no trainers who aill take you on the road but some companies do. We have mentors who are to call if need help etc. Flatbed can be a figure it out yourself some days, normally an old hand around to ask though.

 

Going to be chain in, anda good mix out. Just focus on pulling good freight that meets your business criteria. OH to NC and back i see a lot if guys do. We do a lot out of northern SC as well.

Pay between the two will vary by the customer.

 

Lots of good information on youtube.

The beauty about Malone is the freedom. Once you get out of orientation crap, get your truck, trailer and equipment squared away. Youll have a FM that is there to answer questions and help of needed, but you find all your own freight, make your own schedule and essentially write your own paycheck. No one really bothers you here. At least for me, i dont do micro managing of any sort. I do my job... You leave me alone thats how i operate. You go where you want, when you want, and how youd like to get there. The part most struggle with is that they are used to someone doing everything for them, thats not the case here. Phone calls have to be made, the board has to.be checked during the day etc you always want to have a plan in and out.
