    I can understand that, however, my commitment is to my family first. Abandoning isn't being a quitter? To me, that's on the low end of the quitters. Sorry.

    Researched and prepared better. That one week wouldn't have been the end for me, but the moment I thought it was a pattern, returned their truck unless I wanted out of trucking. Did you get hired anywhere else?

    They along with every starter company there is and get away with it.For each driver they bring in I think it's like 10 k compliments of the forced tax payer.

    I did my research, BUT, living in florida, there are only 3 companies that hire out of this hell hole state, only CRST offered the refresher course. I was already in debt over $700 trying to survive out there with the GARBAGE CRST was paying, and I couldnt do it anymore financially. I had no other choice. No I have not gotten another driving job, and quite honestly, after my experience at CRST, I have no desire to.

    Oh yeah, and my co driver, who was a FRESH KILL, had 3 months experience, was under contract, had enough of the ####, and abandoned the truck with me.

    He said "if you quit, i'm quitting too, this is ########, I cant live and support my family like this."
