    Whenever I take hometime in cedar rapids, I always see a gaggle of smiling faces and high hopes from the crst students at the caseys there waiting to be flattened out and crushed. Get your start wherever you can, just don't quit for 6 months, don't have an accident, and dont sleep with or kill your teamate.

    I don't know how they are as a company, but I do know when I drove for swift a bunch of ex-crst people were getting hired on there, so if swift was a step up it must be pretty bad.

    Actually i made this post because I wanted positive feedback on companies because all you see on here is negativity. Also my first day in permit class was yesterday and I wasn't even in there all day because I did drug screen and dot physical and talked to my recruiter about paperwork so I spent a half a day in permit training class and now I am the proud owner of a class a permit. You are wrong I took advice I keep to myself and I work hard hence the reason my 2ND day at this school I am already set to go to the driving academy here. Thanks for getting negativity on what was supposed to be my positive thread. Guess there's always a Debbie Downer in the bunch.

    I agree it's not the best place to be but I am here to get my profession as a truck driver started and since you can't start on top of a totem pole I make the best of it.
     
    Coover and QuietStorm Thank this.

    I wouldn't say they're evil. Cr England ain't the best no but neither is crst according to you guys yet I have had a great experience here. Probably because I don't go looking for what is wrong with them I take what is good and use it to my advantage

    The evidence speaks for itself. Anyone who looks back and reads this whole thread will see exactly what was said. I'm not being negative at all simply stating facts as can be seen in the posts before mine.

    From your other thread asking about other companies, and from your posts in THIS thread asking about another company, I'm sure you can see my confusion.

    I'm glad you're happy, really.

    I hope CRST works out for you. I considered them in my top 5 when I was applying. The team thing was a major downer for me.

    Don't get confused researching other companies is never a bad thing. I made this post to see what the low down on crst was and so far it's nothing like what you guys say it is. Of course I have only been here a week so it could change and if that happens I will let you know

    Don't include me in "you guys". ;)

    I said nothing bad about CRST. I couldn't since I haven't had the experience.
