Hey guys, just a quick update. I am doing fine, never heard anything since from CRST. I still have my apprenticeship and started my own side...
Yeah, CRST's school really just looks at students as dollar signs. Then after the school passes them, making bank on untrained students, CRST...
Yeah, I met some drivers for CRST who I wouldn't trust behind the wheel of a Golf Cart. I woke up at a Flying J one time, pulled back the curtain...
lol that's whats important. Stay safe out there.
I bring up tolls because my route with CRST kept me around the North East pretty much the entire time. I payed most of my checks in tolls. Yes,...
Okay, lets put the pay scale aside for a second. You are calculating this off of 6000 miles a week. I still talk to drivers who run hard and...
Okay, so if you drive 3000 miles at .32cpm without per diem. That is $960. But you get half of those miles, which comes up to 1500 miles. .32cpm x...
I think it was something like if you have a CDL with 1 year of current OTR experience, then you can sign up at their .31cpm without a contract....
CRST DOES pay .10cpm lol. Or, well I guess now they pay .11.5cpm. .20cpm x 2300 miles = $460 divided by 2 = $230 OR .10cpm x...
Okay. Let's do this your way. We drive 2300 miles on a load. .20cpm x 2300 miles. HALF would be mine. 2300 divided by 2 = 1150. So, .20cpm x 1150...
On my pay stubs, it showed .10cpm.. so, think of it this way, buddy. .22cpm with per diem is .20cpm. .20cpm x 2300miles = $460 divided by 2 =...
That is actually not that impressive. When I worked their, I was making .22cpm and with per diem I was making .20cpm, split in half, .10cpm. So,...
Anyone who can afford CDL school on their own, should not even look at CRST as an option. I wish you luck on your future in trucking. I am glad my...
I kind of figured someone will eventually come across this and defend CRST. Honestly, I have nothing to gain from writing this. I am no longer in...
I think you could register over the phone, but not sure if it helps. I think I tried that and it took so long to get someone to answer I just hung...
Yeah, I have heard the horror stories about bad trainers even before I went to CRST. Honestly, my 28 days with a trainer was the best time of my...
Yeah, I know it is a pretty long post. I was just trying to fit everything in to explain the full story. But, yeah I agree. You can have a yard...
That is why I made this post lol. I didn't see to many detailed posts on CRST other than people just saying it sucked, but not really saying why....
Beware, also have heard on this forum that a lot of the megas turn their "money owed" situations over to third party collection agencies. Helps...
I thought that, too lol. But the guy was talking to me for a while, and he had pictures of the 3 CRST trucks that hit the shack. Hard to mistake...
