    Your $ is in the dispatchers palm of his hand at CRST. Good dm's will be hard to find. Be wise and find someone good.

    Well I have one month in seven left. Actually my training ends in two days. Ive been away from hom home for almost two months. My trainer ended up being a #######, who took ht in wa. That alone set me back 5 days. I keep thinking only 7 mos I did one i can do this. Just do it then get a local job

    Thats the only way the get drivers,they hope you have no other options so they can use you for 8 months then they could care less if you quit or not because they have 100 students each week <25 or less after> they move into your place.It makes them tons of money while your pockets are empty.

    Paid off the contract and went elsewhere. Total cost right around 4350. Well worth the pay off. I had my lawyer look over the contract and spoke with CRST. According to the terms of the contract you pay it off you are no longer under contract. Any one considering CRST and wanting to see it you can contact me via messaging and I will send it to you when I can.
     
    CRSTMaria Thanks this.

    You sign a preemployment contract for CRST. In that you owe the 3950 plus room, transportation cost (if u have any), physical, and drug screen. The school cost is 2950 according to the school contract. Crusty adds the extra 1000 for whatever costs? Could never get an answer to that question. I paid those costs. Talked to CRST and went to my attorney in Iowa. He is an old schoolmate of mine. He looked over the contract and said the same thing CRST told me, that I could work elsewhere as long as the contract was paid off. I paid off and am now with another company. I am enjoying myself, making money, and they treat me really well. If I were to do it all over again I would have started with them.
