Profile For Mary F.

Jerry on this website under the training tab you will find a complete section on pre-trip inspection. It includes study guides, flash cards (which are awesome) and videos. If you have not seen that section please look at it. Good luck, Mary

Mary- There are a few other companies most would pick over the ones you listed. I will answer your questions in a private message.

I would love to hear from you, thanks, Mary

We are new to truck driving and are having a hard time trying to decide which company to go with. We are working with an independent recruiter who does not work for either company. The pro with CRST is that we will get to bring our dog (who is part of the family) with us after training. The con with CRST is that because we live on the Gulf Coast we will be required to move farther inland. The pros with CR Englund are: they have a great sign on bonus and higher mileage pay, we can stay in the same room while getting our CDL, we can use the same trainer and be in the same truck during training and we will not be required to move. The con is the recruiter said that CR Englund was not a good company to work for now, they have new management and the new management tries to force you into leasing a truck right out of training and that if you don't they will not give you the miles needed to make a living. Basically starving us to quit or firing us and then we will be on the line for the fee for training. Also, some of what I've told was different than what is on your website and want to know how up to date the information is for companies who have their own schools. We would love to hear words of wisdom for those who have been working for both companies.

Thanks for the replies. We are working with a recruiter that is not associated with a company. He has been very upfront and we feel comfortable with his advice so far.

My husband and I are thinking that we want to give "Team Driving" a shot. We have done some research gone to a couple of truck stops and asked questions so we feel we know what we are getting into. The one thing that we hope we could get some help with is which recruiter should we talk with? Any recommendations? Thanks, Mary
