    I have seen an ad by CRST Expedited that offers a 20/10 plan (OTR 20, home 10) for team drivers; it also mentions a $10,000 sign-on bonus which they claim is absolutely payable over 12 months.
    Since things are seldom quite what they may seem, or quite as simple as they might seem, is there anyone who has some insight regarding this general job offer?

    Why don't you post a link so the Experts can evaluate the advertised offer? Highly doubtful tho considering it is CRST.

    Great idea! I'll see if I can isolate the link - I saw this ad in a weekly (Simply Hired Alerts) for "CDL jobs".
    I wonder if the title "CDL Jobs" is an indication of what they don't know.:biggrin_25519:

    I spoke to CRST about this 20/10 deal. It is not something that you can get into straight away. It requires a 3 man team, they trade out so each guy gets the 10, but it requires some logistical wizardry on CRSTs part to fit a 3-man team together.

    Ok, let them wizardry Angelina Jolie and Heidi Klum - I'll team up for a few years.
    What about the ten grand? Is that split among the girls and me?
    Any other details you were able to find out?
    I know the name from my earlier steel days, but is this an honest company?
    Thanks for the info.

    I think that bonus is for seasoned drivers. As far as honest... my Dad drove OTR for over 30 years, and lives in Iowa. CRST has been around for a very long time, so it would seem to me that they are a credible company. You dont stay in business if your a crap company, IMHO.

    I hear what you are saying about longevity; however, the Devil has been around a while, also. I knew them as flatbed steel haulers and now they are CRST - I guess that could be viewed in a positive way.
    If you are correct about the bonus being for seasoned drivers, then I would view the ad as somewhat deceptive, since there didn't appear to be such a condition. Of course, I understand that you said you "think" it is for seasoned drivers, so I'll keep an open mind. Let's watch and see if anyone seasoned replies with their thoughts.

    Thanks.

    It wouldn't hurt anything for them to change their ad some. They keep talking about all new trucks but have pictures of an early 2000's 9200i International. Things like that that are so easy to keep current bug me.
