It’s all about the challenges for me. It what helps me get through each day and it is a lot of fun to be completely honest. I love work and I want to find something that will be challenging enough to where there are new challenges everyday.
Byeee, I would love an answer to one question. Do you need the job or do you want and welcome the challenges you are about to face?

It’s okay. I look forward to joining with CRST. I feel with a team there will be a lot of gaining experience on the road & a second set of eyes for safety. Thank you for the starter kit links.
Sorry I didn’t make the connection, you’ve been here a while and already know CRST is all team.

I appreciate everyone’s opinion honestly. I’m stable enough to start a new career and I wouldn’t let anything stop me especially if it’s what I really want. I’m ready to learn and meet new people to help me along the way. All I look forward to is accepting new challenges and getting through each day knowing I successfully completed them.
I know that what people think of my lifestyle should not affect me. I’m excited to get into a new career and I’m happy with my choices.
I thank all of you for your opinions and help. 🙂 take care!

Thank you. And I’m glad.
Also I’m worried about being judged everywhere I go. It’s not only based on one place. I can’t control it and I wish I could. But knowing that I will be around people who are open minded, respectful, and caring will help a bit.
I’m just scared and excited to get into a new career. But I really need this. So I appreciate all of you that help.
I’m a transgender male who will be getting into CRST school on September 10. I know I’m suppose to have a team driver and I was hoping to meet anyone who just started with CRST or is going to earn their CDL through them that are also transgender. I feel that I would be more comfortable with someone who is no matter girl or boy or anyone who is okay with a transgender. If anyone would like to team with me, let me know. I’m very friendly, hardworking, and organized. I also vape so if you don’t smoke and that will bother you, that’s something to consider. Thanks everyone.
Happy trucking 🙂
I consider myself the “Ambassador” for CRST here on TruckingTruth and would be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding CRST. I am also very open to other people and will NEVER judge you for who you are. I seriously don’t believe you will have to worry about being judged there at all. They are all open people who respect each other at least everyone I have ever met at CRST is. If you are open to teaming then CRST is a great choice for you. 😀

My fault for wording things wrong I guess. What I meant by “thought it would help me but realized it’s no big deal” was about the fact is why should I care about what people thought when all that matters is how good of a trainer they are. Getting from Rainy D, yeah I’d rather have a good trainer. And I agree with everyone that has responded that was very helpful and I appreciate people like all of you. And I was not trying to be defensive at all this is why I try to stay away from forums or social media because I suck at writing and can’t get my point across the right way lol. I’m sorry again.
Just forget this post. It’s not meant for people to take it personal. Thought it would help me but I realized it’s no big deal.
Thanks everyone.

Sorry to everyone. Just a person with personal self issues and I can’t handle my anxiety. I regret it all from the first post. All I do is dig my own problems and I just want to say thanks to everyone who is supportive anyways.
Have a great day!!
Okay I am confused😕 this starts out with Jess's original posting, responses from myself, Chip Bagg, Rainy D, and Millionmiler24. Then Byeee's response. To both Jess and Byeee, unfortunately there are people and plenty of them who will have issues with you, a lot of them will not feel comfortable driving or working with you. But take heart for everyone of them there are dozens more of us that will have absolute zero issue working with you😄

What I was trying to say. It was only so I didn’t have to invade someone’s space with my personal life and to feel scared of what they would think. I dont know how to put it in words but just know I’m not wanting to offend anyone. That was not my intentions. I was wrong about even asking for a transgender driver partner. If I get someone who can teach me well then that’s all that matters. I could just go weeks without taking my meds until I feel it would be okay to.
I just appreciate to know that there are people that are kind and it helps a lot with my anxiety. Again sorry if I seemed rude at all. Cyber conversations are sometimes interpreted wrong.
Have a great day everyone. 🙂
As a trans man myself, I can understand his apprehension about sharing a confined space with a complete stranger 24/7. I was extremely nervous about going out with a trainer I'd never met before and had zero knowledge about. I'm fortunate enough that I had been on testosterone for 6 1/2 years by that point, and nobody challenged or questioned my gender. Even so, the whole 5 weeks I was on my trainer's truck all my antannae were up and at full power, looking for the first sign that this guy could present a danger if he were to discover what was or was not in my pants. Training by itself is exhausting, especially with a trainer who believes his trainer should do all the night driving. Training while on permanent Yellow Alert? I'm amazed I survived.
So yeah, I get why he's hoping for a co-driver who's at least LGBTQ friendly, if not ***** themselves, especially with the current political climate. Why he got super defensive and bailed? That I don't get.

Hi everyone. I want to know what everyone’s experiences and their outcome working with CRST. I never see good reviews of the company but that will not change the fact that I want to work for the company. I believe that there will be good along any of them. I would love to hear from anyone that are currently or were with the company of how it all went and is going.
Thanks everyone. 🙂🙂

CRST experiences
That I understand but it does help when needed. I wouldn’t mind helping my co driver if he needed help even if I don’t get paid for it. It’s all about the trust and safety. I don’t usually rely on others to help me since I have always been able to get things done on my own. I just hope to get a good journey with anyone I team up with.
