    That is a big ouch, isn't it. Looks like I will be at CRST orientation next week. I had started a few months ago, but ran into some paperwork problems and I just said heck with it. Guess I'm ready to give it another shot now.

    all i can say is pick your co-driver ahead of time. But i had mine picked out even before i started and im still sitting at home waiting for them to route him home to pick me up. Hes in the truck with another codriver right now and i guess HIS codriver isn't gonna be ready until Saturday. in the mean time i have been sitting at home for 2 weeks with no pay. not a good way to start working for a company. they were fast to get me in a truck with a trainer but since i got released from the truck ive been on my own. not so much as a phone call from them to let me know what is going on.

    yea thats how it goes, when i was with werner i got paid while waiting for a trainer so it helped out. It does help to have a co driver picked or find someone in school or orientation.

    I know this is kind of an old thread but it made me LOL. Temptin next time maybe you should try a female co driver--may have better luck with better attitudes next time. LOL Keep up the good work :) At least the females will wanna shower. LMAO

    Temtin,
    I will start school w/ CRST on Monday, so just wondering if you are still with them and how is everything working out? I am a newbie and honestly a little nervous but willing to give 150%.~Tammie:biggrin_2557:
