My adventures at CRST Malone

Load wasn't ready Friday. Was told the product won't be ready until Sunday and can't ship until Monday so it's a boring weekend. But the customers paying me.

 

Living in Texas wouldn't be bad at all here. Just follow the freight trends. Texas is either really busy or really dead, it's good that you are willing to run the north east, I have a couple contacts that get decent but not great freight out of there as well I don't know anything about STI it Bruce Oakley. Please PM me if I can be of any help.

 

Unloading 4 skids now, then headed toward my pickup tomorrow. Same day pick and delivery $475 on 177 miles. Not really happy with the daily rate but it puts me where I need to be.

 

I talk to a lot of people here considering joining Malone. Some are in the process of applications, some are hauling their first load tomorrow.

Please let me reiterate this for lease purchase drivers. I wish it weren't the case but the process of leaving orientation, getting your truck trailer and equipment sucks. And their isn't an excuse for it, please come here with a few dimes in your pocket expecting to wait a few days for things to pan out. If I can help in anyway possible let me know.

If you receive a hard working reliable truck you can make money here. No questions asked, If your truck is reliable and your not making better than company driver the only person to blame is you. Not Malone, not CRST, not the agents you the man or woman driving the truck and choosing your own loads.

This has been a hell of a month hoping the next couple weeks go the same.

 

Seems like your having fun! Keep us updated as it's nice to hear if anything about the orientation process has changed
