Does Anybody Have Experience Driving For CRST.
Topic 26631 | Page 2
Yes Scott I am a Cali native born & raised. Yes I am getting paid my CPM while training.
First 3 days my trainer has to be up while I drive. We had to do a 34 reset here in Phoenix, he had no preload until today...
So will be headed out to Redlands for pick-up then off to Kansas....
CRST says trainees cannot drive from 12 a.m. til 5 a.m. hmmmm...then it's real team driving.
My trainer says he will have me drive as much as possible so I can probably upgrade within 2 weeks time (10,000 miles)
So far so good he thinks I"m doing good so far lol....Can only get better in time , liking it so far just wanna run as hard n safely as possible....
Good luck Scott when you get started in school
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Thanks Steveo and Cwc for your replies. Steveo are you getting paid for driving with trainer. I am wondering because that is really great if so after only 14 days in school. I have decided to go with CRST and should be headed off to school the 2nd week in Oct. Also Steveo i noticed in one of your replies somewhere on this great site that you are from the so cal area, used to live in Yucaipa and also Montclair areas myself, now in Kansas... Looking forward to getting started on this new path... Thanks again to all for the input it is such a blessing that this site is available to everyone who is considering taking on this career.
