Begin day 1 on 8 NOV 2010

Go ahead and get the CDL manual and read up on it if you want. There will be plenty of time to read it at cedar rapids and the test is not that hard if you have common since. Keep in Mind if you Quit or get fired before your 8 months are up you pay almost 4k for your training if you stay for 8 month then you will get a letter saying you have completed your contract and now they have to inform you that under fedral tax laws your training is valued at 1500.00 and you owe them an extra 78 dollars for taxs but they will deduct it out of your check over the next four weeks. Been there done that and have moved on to a better company ( In my opinion ) CRST has been around since 1963 I think and has what 10 at most 1 million milers

 

Wife and I will be in cedar Rapids monday also. Anyone going also just look for the fat guy with the skinny blonde...lol and say Hi!!!

 

Good luck guys! You got to start somewhere...

I had a 1 day orientation Monday.....It was the longest day!
Before that the last time i had a guy in a truck giving me a road test was in 1984...

 

so hows it going so far?

 

We finished orientation today and from what I have seen and heard, finding a compatable codriver is the big problem. I'm glad I don't have that worry.
Everything else sounds good and from talking to current drivers, the miles are available if you want them and are on time...etc

I have been to many orientations and this one was very professional and detailed.

I have 2 more days of lead driver training then we will be ready. I am going to train my wife and then after her 28 days... Show us the money.

 

Im confused, are you going w/ CRST or CR England?
