    Yeah, CRST needs drivers that assault other people.

    DON'T say a thing about your hand OR you'llbe on the bus back to Buffalo.

    Don't waste your time and CRST's time. Have you left a voicemail or sent e-mails to your recruiter? If so you did your best>just call Monday am first thing and apologize for not being there and tell them you want to reschedule for January.

    Go in a couple of weeks when you are healed up.

    And if you can't get the waiver (who is paying for the DR visit) then what? Are you prepared to pay out of pocket for a bus ride home?

    Did your recruiter not give you a cell number? I am also leaving to a different company today to start orientation and training and my recruiter called me this morning to make sure I am all set still. IDK what time you leave today, but just keep calling and emailing. If you dont get a response then I guess use your best judgment. If you can drive still I would think you would be fine. Unless you are trying to do flat or something that will require you to do a lot of physical work. I went through a private school and I never had to do anything that I would not been able to do with a little fracture in my hand.

    I would go. There is a good chance that if you can show them that it will not affect your driving they will let you stay. Also if the other recruiters said they will give you a waiver then you should be good to go.
