MikeAkASyndrome, Thanks for your comments. That does help. How has the training been so far? How much money would I safely need to bring?
I ended up with a really good trainer. As far as money goes. I came out with about 500. Which for someone who isn't an impulse buyer, would have been enough, but I ended up borrowing more. Just keep in mind, be FRUGAL.
I am from California. I guess then CRST would send me to Fontana? I heard its a dump. Hopefully not too bad?
Im a recent grad student with CRST i do coast to coast twice a week....thats 6000 miles split......basically if you run good and are reliable...you ll always get the miles
Good to hear. What has been your average take home each week, if I may ask? I hear people are only getting 100 or 200 per week? Can that be accurate?
Because im only with them for 3 months I'm on 23 CPM so looking at 500 pw but after 6 months tge pay is 34 c p m
Yeah it is a dump but they re not gonna do anything about it. The bought a new location also in Fontana and its meant to be ready early next year. I guess the yard could b better. But what ya gonna do
So your weekly pay has been averaging about $500 per week? Is that gross or net? I assume its gross? What has been your average take home pay each week so far if I may ask? I am concerned about this because I have read many threads about how people are getting $100 pay checks. I know CRST's pay is quite low, but it can't be that bad right? Have you been getting consistent miles every week? Thanks! Your info really helps!
CRST is the worst company in any industry at I have been with. Did my 8 and got out. Now running solo, making more then double and loving it.
Crst is the HARDEST thing I have ever had to do in my life! Team freight non stop for 2 years with only 3 or 4 days off a month. Constantly running tight runs preplanned at 55 mph transit. Running freight all over the country while sleeping in a moving truck with your ears popping while you go up and down the mountains. All in all, I freaking loved it. Getting caught in the nastiest storms (and I mean nasty) while my co driver slept in the bunk flying at 65mph(I feel confident) was truly a very exciting experience for me. Oh yea I made some money too. Enough to support my family back home. My wife supports job I do btw...
