    The training at both is anything but free. If you want to know which one will break you first I would say CRE.

    I know from talking to other drivers for CRST, you will be teaming (assigned teams, not necessarily someone you know) for at least 6 months. And I have heard that with CRE they started doing the same thing...plus the down side of CRE gets worse...they will really push you into lease/op...something you REALLY DON'T WANT...especially right out of school, and without any real understanding of the business end of owning/operating your own rig...leases are costing about $950.00 and up, each week, so no home time, no down time would be in your future for quite some time.

    Both will screw you over big time. If you are looking for free training look into Swift. As a training company there not bad. Get your training. Do your time to get some exp. and to get your tuition paid for and then get away from them. They are good to start with but you will just be a number exp. means nothing to them.

    No such thing as free,and read the contract, better yet, try to get a copy of the contract for a lawyer to review. Good luck with that last one.

    AFAIK CRST is teams only unless you are O/O.
