    CRST works for some people and doesn't for some. The biggest problem seems to be the mandatory teaming for 10 mos. before going solo. People get on each others nerves cooped up in tight quarters 24/7.

    Naples; tough spot for that. Only one, other than CRST, that might take you is Roehl Transport.
    Many people in Southwest Florida go with CRST though. Try Roehl and if they don't hire from Naples, just stick it out with CRST for 10 months.
    Someone else from your area was asking the same question and if I remember correctly, Roehl and CRST was all we could come up with.

    Just all the reviews I read about crst is so neg. Plus I've been on YouTube and see more negative than positive. I'm making a sacrifice and don't want to take a risk going all the way to Iowa and be stuck.

    I talked to a recruiter (Beth) for dedicated runs she sounds good at promoting ijdk

    Pay isn't too good starting out at CRST. Couple guys on here said they did ok. By ok, they said $500.00 running teams.
    Try Roehl Transport; they pay you $500.00 weekly while in their cdl school. Don't know what they average after graduating and hitting the road.
    There's not a lot of choices in your area.

    @sassy_southern_trucker started school at CRST Monday; maybe she'll chime in on the latest.
