CRST is very bad

As pot stays in the system for quite awhile,how does he sneak through the drug screens,or at least,the DOT physical?

 

There are countless ways to beat urine test such as always keeping clean urine and various detoxification products are on the market promising negative results in as little as 1hr. The hair follicle tests however are impossible to beat but they are also much more expensive than urinalysis and usually not used for random screening. The best way to beat these tests is just abstain from drug use.

 

Yes Sir,but I was wondering about the posters co-driver...Hell,if I smoked a joint after,lets see now,its been 21 years, I would probably be high till "the end" and there are to many things I need to do,besides eat Doritos and watch T.V. Aand jam to the stereo.....Wait;I do all that now..Nevermind!

 

I have noticed that most of the complaining about CRST has come from drivers new to trucking. I have been out here for 20 years and my wife is going to join me since our son is heading off to the Airforce. Can a veteran husband and wife team give me some info on the train your spouse program and can you tell us if they keep you runnning? Any info is appreciated.

 

Lot of people I meet just dont understand what it means to be a truck driver expecially all of the young bucks with little to no work ethic. Driving a truck sounds easy, but that is a small portion of the actual job. The grass isnt always greener on the other side. A veteran husband can train a spouse just need to make sure the wife actually does some backing. Lots try to do all the backing and then when wife needs to show skills on a road test she doesn't pass and the plan falls apart.

 

I remember receiving one of those letters last year, too. It seemed to be pertaining to CA-specific wage & hours violations, and was seeking current and former employees who might be interested. I responded per the default "not-opting-out-as-of-now" , and have yet to hear anything further. My guess is the law firm dug into it a bit further and decided to pursue greener pastures elsewhere.

 

Personally, I think that most of the complaining about most carrier's will come from those who simply could not cut it as an otr driver. You will never find a carrier that will meet all of your needs. There will be conflicts and things that you don't like about them. Do your homework and talk to some who are currently working for CRST or any carrier for whom you want to work. Those currently working for a carrier will have the best information.

 

Sounds like nothing has changed with CRST since I got my start with them 15 years ago. I got my foot in the door with them in 1996. That's the only positive I can give them. 22 cents/mile, hootch style cab-overs, 58mph, dispatch that refused to answer messages, slip-seated trucks, duct-taped steering wheels, and a new co-driver every three weeks. When I quit them 3 months after being hired, they said they would send me a bill for the driving school expenses (which I told them I was prepared to pay for), but instead they sent it to a collection agency and f-d up my good credit. Even after promptly paying the snake collection agency, it took years to clean up my credit record. It still showed negatively on my DAC as late as 2005.

You will have a horrible, nightmarish experience that will scar you for life. In all likelihood, it will ruin whatever remains of your life. I would advise you not to take this step. You will forever regret it.
