I really appreciate all the info. I need to get moving so I am just going to stay on with them for now and see how things go. I did some reading on another thread on here about pulling coils. I think that is their "bread and butter". It looks like I am going to have a lot to learn.

CRST Malone? dont do it! that simple.

I have been with CRST and Mercer both,Mercer is a much better organized andmuch better run operation. I did ok with CRST but they are so much in love with themselves,Thier main goal is to sell pretty well beat up trucks and rent trailers to the down and out crowd,in my opinion.
-
so i guess i should take you alls advice and NOT join the crst team???

just as well anyways. since they won't hire me unless i own my truck. told me i need to live on the east side. that was 2 years ago. -
I must say this issue you're trying to dismiss as "Not Serious" IS serious when it comes to brake shoe linings. There isn't any allowable basis for cracks in linings, vertical or horzontial, EVER!! My most sincere suggestion to you my friend is to take maintenance seriously or do yourself a favor and sell the truck now. Lack of maintenance at any level will most certainly bite you in the booty. Like the old Fram filter commercial used to say, "You can pay now or pay later".
MJ1657 Thanks this. -
you all harping on one guy over a crack in his shoes.
have you seen the log haulers out in the southeast???? bald tires with cords. seen one chewed up brake drum. cracked windshields. dot could cover the american defecit with collected fines on them trucks. -
I heard that. My in laws are all loggers in Fl/Ga, rough bunch of fellers with rougher trucks. OOS all the time but they keep on rolling.
The wife is a high class flatbedder like myself of course.
She was a waitress in the town diner, she told me she could change a semi trailer tire in the woods and I was in love. 20 years old at that. -
what is an eobr ???
-
An E-Log pretty much

so landstar, an owner operator company, are using elogs now?? why is that?? I live near savannah ga and have been considering leasing with landstar or mercer but in my area everyone else claims landstar would be better. But if they run elogs that's a deal breaker for me.
