    Been there, done that, got the T shirt. For starter companies read the posts on here but a few that seem to be pretty good are , Maverick, Stevens,KLLM, Roehl, there are bad things about all of these, but that's the way this deal works.

    That's CRST! I'm surprised they flew you. Usually it's a nice 48 hour bus trip from Jersey.

    No way would I ever team with a newbie. 40mph on a ramp? You were close to death. Newer trucks have electronic stability control. If you had one of them trucks you would of been kissing the windshield.

    The minute they told me "22 cents per mile"...I would have told them "Thank You for your time...have a nice day".

    What did he say? I wish this texting crap and Qualcomm crap had never been invented so people could write an intelligent sentence.

    Bad co-driver is understandable. You knowing everything is unbelievable. You staying at CRST by choice is remarkable. You wanting to go solo without any real experiance is not even negotiable!
