    I was told that I just needed to attend their orientation class before going out with a lead driver. There was no mention that it would cost anything. The person I spoke with is named Laura. She is supposed to be calling me back on Monday. I will ask if they expect me to pay for classes. If so then this sounds like scam to dupe me into owing them. Then after they could come up with an excuse not to hire me and I would still owe them. That is my fear from what you are describing.

    I dont mind them testing me to see what I know. Road test, pre trip etc etc. I am looking for work because I need money. I am not looking to go into debt in order to buy a job. I would be better off taking a job locally driving a dump for $10 - 12hr.

    Something I found odd was that they want to see my W2 and paperwork for while I was on unemployment. I dont see where its any of their business. The more I rear about this company the more skeptical of their sincerity I become.

    I just need a break to get my foot back in the door and on the road. I dont mind paying my due's so to speak. But I need to support my family in the process,.. I cant live off tokens that are only good at the company store.

    First off, which side of CRST? He wasn't on the Malone side unless he either owned or leased a truck, or else drove for a fleet owner who leased their trucks onto CRST Malone. The VanEx side... I'll leave it to those who've driven for them to get into that side of the company. Can't really tell you a whole lot about the door slammers. Not my gig.
    Furthermore, what's the COMPLETE story here? What exactly is on his DAC report, and how did it get there?
    Furthermore, why are you griping to me about it, especially responding to a post of mine which is completely unrelated to what you're going on about?

    CRST will cut your pay in half when you go solo to encourage keeping teams together. Leasing will pay top cents per mile, but CRST will always be asking you to take a co-driver or become a trainer. Many of the leased trucks have been refurbished. :biggrin_25521:
