    Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I am guilty of reading more then contributing

    My background is 100% disabled Vet. those in the know understand I did not need to join CRST.

    Well the training was close to home so I went for it. At their training program in Jacksonville, Fl I was rewarded with bed-bug bites from head to toe and head lice.

    Thinking all of this was just an isolated indecent I moved along. Since then others have contacted me asking for help.

    Then the recruiter informed me CRST may come after me for training received. TRAINING? Standing on a pad from 7am until 5pm and only in the seat for 10 minutes is not training. That is overbooking your classload.

    Sure they covered my med card and I will pay them for that if J-Tech would give it to me. The hotel fees would have to answer to health Dept and lawyers.

    Thanks for letting me vent. There is so much more I could say.

    Youre 100% and you decide to go with CRST??? LOL. Did you get the bites from the hotel they put you up in?? Or from being in one of their trucks all day?

    Who knows kid? The positive I will say about CRST is they pay you based on your DD-214

    You should. You don't even know what you are ranting about. It isn't a difficult question is it?

    Any small amount of research reveals CRST is probably one of the 3 worst companies you could have started with. Being a disabled vet I hate this happened to you and CRST should be ashamed of themselves. There are much better starter companies out there... are you done trucking? If not @Chinatown can lead you in the right direction

    Not going to argue with you. My research said CRST sucks monkey balls. But if you read everything all starter companies are awe full. Maybe you guys are to blame also.
    Maybe I need guidance here.
