    It's really easy. I've had an experience without them, and with a little research I found it in my best interest to avoid all those companies.

    I do have to add that some can breeze through a company like Werner or CR england and move on to bigger and better things with a positive experience. Some can have a terrible experience with a mega and try and inform others. That's not to say work ethic and attitude don't have a lot to do with it, nor am I saying those with a great work ethic and positive attitudes don't get throne into the meat grinder as well.

    H&S Bakery in Baltimore is like that. They accept NOTHING from an unsealed trailer, even from LTL carriers.

    It doesn't matter if you were next door delivering a transmission. You have to put a seal on it before you go there.

    The funny thing is the seals used for that are OUR seals used on linehaul trailers.:rolleyes:

    I think we can all agree CRST is one of the worst companies out there. I feel really bad every time I see those poor ######## walking up and down the road in front of the terminal.

    Yes, however, I'd say 7 out of 10 maybe even 8, have NO business in a big truck to begin with.

    What is this dangerous stage? So before a trainer had to have 7 years/700,000 miles? And the drivers before him and so on? So who trained them? Where did it start? I havent been in this game long but long enough to call bs on the whole "i been trucking 20 years even 5 years your still a rookie blah blah". A highway is a highway, as far as im concerned if you driven around 100,000 miles, been thru a decent winter, been thru mountains, been thru heavy traffic, been theu small towns, big cities. What else is there to learn from a driving standpoint? Like really. Get over yourself. Ive seen excellent rookies ( i was one myself) druve as if they been doing it for years. If we are green horns, I guess your ol timer? Og? Veteran? Pick one I've seen guys like you, you know the owner operator or old guy that you can tell has been trucking forever, drive like they need their license revoked. Accidents are caused by all experience levels from the "greenhorn" to the 20 year hot shot I know everything yall got it good we used to have to unload 20 pallets by hand there was no lumper back in the day blah blah. Theres rookies in all sorts of fields who put the veterans to shame sports, medicine, photography, journalists, and I could go on and on. Just cause one "greenhorn" screws up doesnt meen they all are bad.

    Because not everyone has the money to pay out of pocket for cdl training. That leaves you with company sponsored training which all the company sponsored training companies suck. The two year crst guy has been there tooo long. You use these companies like they use you. Do your contract aka a year then gtho. Anything past a year and your wasting your time and behind doors your company is like " ya we got one" lol

    I use to work for CRST. make mid 30k.(horrible). Quit long time ago. Anyway, I been receiving check from someone sueing them. at least 2 time I reciece a check from a law sue file against CRST. If trucking and made 44k a year and u happy. God bless you brother. I think , trucking should be at least over 50k a year( very low side). With what we have to thru. Anyhow, If people don't like what they making. It time to shop. That it , no need to complaint
