    I just found this site and am now fallowing your training. I start 3/16/09 at the Cedar Rapids training center. I very curious on what to expect. I have a friend that has been driving for them for about 18 months, thing is he got his CDLs from a local company and not from crst.

    Well I graduated school and went to orientation which was boring and a lot of paper work. I am now on the road with my trainer and things r going good. We have been out about 7 days so I have 21 more days of training to go. So far it's been going fast. The only main thing I have to work on is my downshifting but I think after today I should have it down. Anyways I'll try to keep you guys updated as much as I can.

    Hey Ccolvin.

    I've noticed you havent updated in a while. I'm actually going to go to the Orientation for CRST on This coming Monday. A buddy of mine and I are both going together. Although we are both expecting to go out with trainers for the 28 days. Do you have any idea if you can pick who your partner is? Also...How does the pay work out for training and also shower facilities on the road...etc...etc. Thanks for the help in advance...Cliff
