CRST Van Expedited, Inc. - Cedar Rapids, Ia.

LOL Dam bin a while since I worked for them they didnt have it together then there not gonna get together now.

 

you know at 22 cents a mile this is slightly more appealing than the jjb hunt advertisement i put in here but i dunno at least you know your getting screwed when you go to jb seems with crst they try and hide if from you

 

PLEASE elaborate a little more, I am finishing school in a few wks and was planning on going with crst myself as a new driver, no contract, for my training and a couple months experience so tell me why i shouldnt

 

There's only one reason I'll never drive for CRST. They're mostly a team operated company. If you don't have a team partner, they'll put u with someone. While this is reason enough for me, here are some more: low pay/mile; deceit from within the company; and any other reason that has been stated throughout this thread.

 

If I was you I would really think hard and long before I signed up to go team driving with a stranger. The inside of a truck is a real small space, little things like smoking, different taste in music, sleeping in a moving truck, etc can really get on your nerves. I had a really cool trainer, but by the 3RD week, I wanted to choke him. Even at .80 cpm, I wouldn't run as a team.

 

Ditto on all those points.

 

you say that crst is 2nd worst next to jb hunt.how do you know that unless you've worked for jb hunt.but reguardless the absolute worst company to ever work for is (new) rising fenix out of mt.vernon,mo.With "cheap" charlie daniels in charge,it was horrible to work for.After working for him anything is a step up

 

I had one recruiter tell me that he could start me at .33 per mi. if I paid my 2500 for school with no contract. When I applied the next guy said I could start right away but had to pay 4000 for the school unless I got a contract. I sent him an e-mail about the wonderful reviews of his company on this forum about the difficulties and he won't answer anything on the e-mail. Team driving seems tougher than solo so do you make more or less?

It is too bad they can not just be honest about what you get for your effort.

 

You can make more Team Driving than Solo, but The Best way to make it work as a team is to Team With Someone you know and never Spend longer than a month in the truck together and take 1 week off, to keep from getting "Cabin Fever" and screwing up a good team

But the Difference isn't much just around 150 or less
