    I'm going back as soon as my daughters treatments are over...that says a lot. I like their OTR services response time. I had a flat and all I had to do was send a msg and a few minutes later they msg's me saying they had someone from the local area on their way to fix it.

    They are a good starter company (or if you are getting back into trucking). I would not recommend them for an experienced driver unless you are gonna lease and train with them or team drive. They are the only company I know of right now that I would lease with if I had a partner to roll teams with that could roll hard.


    They are respectful and they will shoot ya strait.

    Well my daughter has had to have more surgeries and doctor visits. She finally has her last surgery on Dec 4th. Then, a followup a week later. Should be able to get past all the delays and be back in Jan (as long as the surgery goes good). Looking at other companies besides CRS now though

    Forgot to mention that CRS changed their mind about taking me back since I waited too long to come back to them. Working for Maverick now and I got no complaints at this point

    Update: worked Maverick TCD for 8 months and then got hired local with Pepsi. I make just as good, and often better, money as I did at Mav and I'm home very night...love it
     
    Shaggy and Lady K Thank this.
