Profile For Norman B.

I will hopefully be starting CRST school in August. And yes they do seem to get alot of negative feed back. And it mainly seems to come from the fact that they pay lower than most companies/ But people seem to forget, you are training for the job. So yes you should expect to get lower pay at first. But even starting out at lower pay, when you figure up the mileage you put in on an 8 hour day, its roughly around $15 an hour, depending on your speed is. Im not sure of any companies that are going to hire you right out the door at $15 an hour. Even if you had a degree in something, youre still going to have to work your way up from the bottom. Ive had one job where I was making 16 an hour, and that was at the walmart distribution center, but even then I still had to work in one of the stores for a year before I could transfer. So the bottom line is, if youre looking to get into trucking and you dont have the funds to pay for the school yourself, then CRST is the way to go. So what if its only 300 to 400 a week, thats a lot better than nothing. Lets see you make that at mcdonalds or a gas station. Plus you get to see the country and get paid to do it. And finally, all in all, if your 100% not happy with CRST, just remember its only an 8 month contract. Most people work 6 months at a job to see if they can handle it or not. So its really not a long time to have to deal with it

It's a 10 month contract now!
