Profile For Jim S.

lol no, wasnt me, but id really like to hear what you have to say about CRST since youve been driving with them a year. Mainly about the team driving experience, hours you drive/sleep, and any pay problems you may have had so far. Also avg monthly pay after taxes would be good too :P

I drive for CRST... I was even waved down by a guy not to long ago in TX wanting to know about them... This doesn't sound familiar does it?

I certainly will thank you!

Thank you all so much for the info! This is exactly what im looking for. Personal experiences with companies that pay to train.

Jim, if you haven't already, go check out the school diary forums on here. Lots of good info there. It really helped me when I was deciding on a company to go with.

Currently I am studying the CDL test right here on TT and I must say it is a very comprehensive way to study. Thanks to TT for that :)

I am 50 years old, live in Deep East Texas, have a house to finish paying off a wife who is older than me and currently having health issues. My basic needs are to make enough money (while learning) to keep the lights on and mortgage paid and both our bellies in food for at least a year until other options with my new Driving career open up.

I am open to any and all suggestions, opinions and opportunities so please feel free to give them

You are absolutely correct, and i do realize there are some that are simply going to be butt hurt because for one reason or another they failed.

My heart is not set on CRST and Team driving seems like it would have both perks and downfalls. I will certainly look at the CRST archives. Two reasons I am looking at CRST is the fact they have a training program that pays while you learn, and they have a location in Dallas Texas which is my home state.

Jim,...complaints abound for all of the major trucking companies. It's typical for a person who wasn't successful to blame their failures on their employer, never taking any responsibility for their own demise. Don't put much stock in any of it.

There is a lot of archived information on CRST. Click this link to review: CRST Archives and Review

Sounds ike your heart is set on CRST,...in case you are still on the fence, there are a myriad of other options: Trucking Company Reviews

Good luck.

Update: Found more complaints: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/directory/crst-van-expedited

I do realize you cannot make "everyone" happy and there will always be somebody to complain and most of these complaints are a year or more older. So somebody who has gone thru the experience this year would be great. Not sure how many responses ill get since everyone is probably on the road and driving.

I am seriously looking into signing up with CRST's driver training program. However, like anything else, I try to do my homework before making commitments to buy or try something. I found this link and would like some feedback from anybody who has gone thru the CRST training program. Please tell me how much truth there is to this:
