    okay so sorry i couldnt reply last night they gave us home work a 100 question test on the driver hand book we stayed up till 10:30 at the nerby denny's drinking coffee it was fun lol, okay so yes I'm new to website and the trucking world and I did apply with swift they never called me back in fact there are three guys in my class who left swift, crst was the first one to proses my app and invite me to orentation, yes my spelling is bad when but only when I've been up for a long time crst was my choice due to the fact they run teams. I felt being a new otr driver i could use the second oppion in the truck and knowledge from a more experienced driver I did not go to there school so I'm not locked into any contract if I dodnt like I can bolt wernire is also one of my chioces if things dont work out their next if prime inc. wont take me thanks for your replys hope to learn alot about trucking in this website:biggrin_25515:

    Teams is the exact reason why i turned down CRST's employment. Me personally, i dont play well with others when your around them constantly. (ie fighting over bunks snoring inverter use, food, hygiene, space in the truck, ) and all that other good stuff. me and my trainer get along pretty well but at the end of the day I like doing this on my own. CRST is a pretty good employer to work for a I hear just the whole teams thing bothers me, one thing i do notice about them they seem to limit there trucks pretty slow. I'm with Werner and i can get about 68MPH out of my truck fully loaded and i pass CRST and prime all day.

    When I talk to the crst recruiter that was his sales pitch about how great team is having the second person around for tips is such advantage for a new driver,
    He was putting the experience would be much like camp, building such a tight bond, friendship with so much laughter shared between you and your team partner
    sure the laughter on how having two drivers with little to none experience is really teaching each other lol,
    the bond? sure both maybe praying that the other one don't mess up
    Friendship ugh lol for me I couldn't think of doing teams, maybe with wife, family member outside from that be hard, even with a good friend, day in and day out will have a toll on you, I got some really good friends but I don't want to see them everyday let alone every second of the day.
    so for me crst was removed from my list of employers leads
    good luck to you on your future, hope all goes well with you and crst.
