    Does CRST require their trainees to pay for anything at their school?

    How much money should I bring for personal items and meals?

    You may want to give CRST a call and find out.

    Good luck to you!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    unless you have to pay for your lodging and then I will just take maybe 2000 if you have it. also sometimes right off the orientation you will have to go driving somewhere over the road with the trainer so...

    make sure you have at least enough to ride the Dog back home if things don't work out.

    I think your breakfast consists of what the motel gives you (continental breakfast). I would take as much as I possibly could because you might not see green for awhile.

    The recruiter could answer that question. Like 8thnote said at least a bus ride home if things don't work out.

    I would take a minimum of $200. It depends on your personal needs.

    They will keep you alive. They have one of them shocker things in the breakroom. :biggrin_2559:

    I took 48K with me, and it was not enough. Good Luck ! CRST is boosting the pay scale up 5%, so maybe ?
