    I just talked with CRST in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and it sounds like a good deal. 6 weeks to get CDL A in Cedar Rapids and then a contract to work with them for 8 months, and they pay for everything.

    The only problem I have with CRST is the whole team driving thing. I would rather train for six weeks get my CDL and then drive solo. I can't imagine driving with the same person 10 hrs a day for 8 months. It would drive me crazy. Is there any place like CRST but without the team driving aspect?

    Thanks
    Ryan

    Put where you live in your profile...general area. There are tons of options out there...some better than CRST some worse.

    Try Millis Transfer...they might hire you out of that area. You can make 50K + your first year and drive top notch equipment.

    CR England will do to your life what Super Storm Sandy did to the northeast!! Destroy it, cost you money, and take years to recover with government aid!
