I was one few new truckers that was lucky enough to have a CDL walking in to CRST so that I am getting paid like a slave. I also got lucky and got a really good trainer, I came in to this trip out west nervous about the mountains and steep grades but now I feel confidant that I will do fine. I am happy with the company so far the only complaint I have is with the FM (dispatcher). But other than that I have have a wonderful experience so far.
Good to hear your making progress with CRST . You'll be happy later that you went out west with your trainer . It will make you more comfortable while driving by yourself . Best of Luck to ya .
I would like to hear more about CRST I am working an Owner Operator deal with them as we speak. 75% of $1.77/M avg. 100% of fuel surcharge /.49 right now they charge $185.00/week to use there trailer which sux
Judging by the stories from others you are going to get screwed. Thats one thing CRST does well with their fleace purchases and lease ops.
I don't know all of the details but I do know that if your leasing from them and want to train they charge you .06$ per mile to have the student on the truck to get more money. I think that is b.s. but that is there choice I am there to get my first year out of the way then off to a better company. So far things with them seem alright from a company drivers point of view.
