Uh, not for a newbie...Suck it up...you'll make the .22cpm, and starve. Go to any truck stop, and see how many CRST trucks are sitting there. Illinois, Texas, Oregon, psssshhht... The tuition reimbursement is giving your soul to them for 8 months. Feel lucky??

Because there are not many options to choose from, here in Miami. I only want a years experience, I don't care how bad everyone makes the company sound, I'm in it to win it. Excited and ready. Leaving towards Jacksonville on December 22nd

In the 9 months my son worked for CRST he averaged about 400 per week, some week more less 14,000 in the 9 months.
Do what you want, youve decided already. My son now works for Valley Bulk out of Victorville CA, 26.5 percent which has bee averaging 200 per day, plus 20 bucks for everynite spent in the sleeper. 5 days on 2 days off.
He also choose CRST over my suggestions, and his recommendation is CRST only if you have a friend to join with for a codriver. -
Nice... Well to update this thread. I'm currently in Jacksonville attending JTech Institude... The school is top notch! A lot of people on the forum complain about the schools crst puts you in but JTech is teaching me everything there is know about trucking! And for a crash course is ####### awesome training! I'll be heading towards Oklahoma City IA after this for orientation with CRST! So far no complaints at ALL! I'm very glad I didn't let all other negative comments steer me off track! Always go with your gut feeling! CRST is great!
Chinatown Thanks this. -
EVERY company is great to start for...JB Hunt, Schneider, Swift, Knight or whatever other "new driver farm" you sign on with...its the STAYING that gets difficult. Most carriers will "pick up the turd by the clean end" when you are applying and during your orientation. After working for them for 6 months, you begin to realize that A TURD DOES NOT HAVE A CLEAN END!!!
