Companies sure do like glamourtizing their ads don't they?Does'nt matter how attractive the pay is,the equipment ect,that won't stop drivers and students from quitting.Companies needs to find the problem to the high turnover rate and fix it rather then adding more to their ads.That won't make ppl stay if the treatment is bad and miles are still low.Not to mention the fireing without talking to drivers about it.

 

Quick and honest - no. I've talked to some making a third of what we do. There are far better team companies out there. Craig's list postings reflect desperation.

 

Companies don't give away free money without recouping it somehow. It's a desperate measure to attract drivers because they can't get them normally.

A hire on bonus is a red flag in my book.

What kind of medical benefits? A $5000 deductible you about have to die to break even. I'm just speculating but I bet I'm close.

 

I don't care how attractive the ads say,the website,there won't be dollar signs in these eyes.I'm going to wanna have to drive for them first and foremost,not get lured in by words on ads.Ads like this tells me they can't keep drivers.More and more companies are hiring drivers with less exp or has now turned into a training company because all or most the good drivers have left.

 

No, you're not Going to make money here. Were not paid like teams at better companies. your party is noticeably lower, and you're only paid half the miles. And when you have to stay your clock for a200 mile loaf instead of letting you get your reset, besides obviously costing money when you have to shut down again and wait for hours, that costs money out of your bonus that they just started.

Unless you own your truck and already have someone drive with, your not gonna make money here. But then if you do have a tuck and Codriver, you'd probably go too one of the way better companies instead.

CRST is really just for us new drivers to get experience. And get yelled at all the time because people see the trick and assume that whatever happened we our fault. Usually it was, but not all of us are bad drivers

If you want a big company, I'm sure you have a list of better ones

 

What always amazes me is those on here who don't even drive for CRST, never drove for CRST and to their self indulgent thoughts, would never drive for CRST.

They paint a picture of how much better it is where they are at, yet they leave out one important thing and that is that the company they are with NOW, won't hire a new driver or new team.

CRST has been good to me for thirty years and good to a lot of other folks too. What else makes me laugh is that these drivers say we don't have good equipment here yet we run the very same tractor these ministers of misinformation drive and they say that where they are at, the equipment is really nice!!!.

The one thing that separates me from most here is that I have thirty years under my belt here. I know more than many about this carrier and am in a great position to tell people.

The OP asked if the money is good here teaming and while at one time it was not where it could have or should have been, it is better now.

While I am a Owner Operator and my compensation is a bit different, I would recommend this company to anyone looking to get their start, in this industry.

Alot is made about a 8 month commitment and how so and so wouldn't do it, well, you know what, 8 months goes by fast. 2013 is almost over and if you think about it, it seems like it just started.

When you finish your 8 months and decide to move on, you can say to a new company that you spent 8 months at CRST, finished your commitment and are looking to move on and that will go to tell a new employer that you can do what you say and say what you do.

I am a old guy at 65 and I believe as I always have that a mans word is important and it's important to honor what you say.

 

Rock star while your on the topic of miles, tell it like it is newbie. A team operation is a business unit, no matter who owns the truck. Each man or each woman pulls their weight and contributes to the overall earnings of the truck and are paid just as if you were partners in a business venture. Splitting the miles is no different than a 50/50 Split.

 

Look bottom line, CRST is not the god of this industry. Every company has its issues and it's share of less than honorable people, but they also have a good bunch of people too.
