    Im going to Waterloo IA for training with CRST on Saturday for the class they have starting on March 10th. 2014. Anybody else going to be there? Any thing I should know. Before you start telling me im making a mistake going with them. I did do my research and I have 4 friends that also attended this school and still work for the company with barely any complaints.

    I have a nephew who went and got screwed from day one. As did his friends that went. After 6 months actually got a check for .79 one week. But you may be the one who beats the system. They come through here every night and 90% are back whining in a while. Good luck.
     
    mdolan0821 Thanks this.

    I appreciate the input from what i was told after the first few weeks of class room training and test you go out with a trainer and earn .25cpm and average about 5-6k miles split between you and your trainer. from what my friend is saying who started his training with CRST 2 months ago he has averaged about 2k-2.5k miles a week in his checks and he hasn't had a problem getting paid at all. but as with all of these large companies there are always pros and cons usually the cons outweigh the pros. either way i have to start somewhere and i don't mind biting the bullet for a year then coming homing and taking a job driving for a local company. I appreciate your input though
