Getting your cdl Through Crst

That's WORSE than when i went there 2 years ago. We went with a trainer for 28 days then we went directly home...... Of course, we usually stayed out 5 weeks anyhow, that way you can get a whole week off, which sure feels good after 5 weeks out... (we had 1.5 days off for every week on the road).

Oh, wanna hear something weird, now that i think about it? We had to do a road test within 3 weeks of getting out of training. They didnt bother to tell us about it. Hell, my co-driver had a wreck before we got the road tset. Does that make any sense?

CRST is not the lowest paying company? I started out there at 19 CPM. They claimed it was 22 CPM but they take away 3 cents per mile for their BS per diem crap they force you to have.

Who pays less than 19 cpm? Name some names. I want to hear this.

I'm glad to see they atleast updated their website. When i went there, they claimed they had all internationals on the site, but i was stuck in a 2 year old freightliner. How does that work exactly? Not that it really mattered but it was "funny"...

The other issue is the whole being forced to team drive thing. If you have less than 6 months experience, and you are on the road and you no longer have a co-driver, you are stuck whever you were with no pay and barely any help to find another one. It happened to me 4 times, and the 4th time, i left the day it happened. I was not going to sit around without being paid.

Then when i had a co-driver we'd average 1000 miles a week for the truck. Oh yeah, i got some moron who came from JB hunt one month, we got about 6000 miles a week, and it wasnt until the last week with him that i got a check, from being advanced out from prior BS. a whole $400.

I have a lot of complaints about werner as well, but atleast when i worked there i could pay my bills.

I kind of wish i would have took an LOA for a month and come back and worked for one month before i left, then i wouldnt have screwed my life up so bad from when i left. But I took a stand for something that was important, and I wasn't going to back down. And I didnt. And I'm proud of myself for that, really. I told them that if they expected me to sit there for free, I was going to quit. I was told, "I guess you're quitting then".
