Guys let me give you some advice.Never go to a company sponsored CDL training school. They own you until your contract is up and your first year earnings will be lower because you owe them money. Go get your CDL on your own. Go to an independent trucker school and pay for it yourself. Save for it,sell off what you can,burrow from loved ones, or apply for a student loan or government grant.By already having your CDL prior to being hired you can walk into any company that hires new drivers and if you do not like what is going you can leave free and clear.Freedom. When you go to trucking school train on a manual transmission. When you pick a company demand a manual truck and trainer. Being qualified to drive both transmissions will give more job options. Get all your endorsements up front. Tanker,hazmat,doubles,triples,tow,and get your passport. Many smaller companies that pay well and require experience using manuals exclusively and if you do not have experience on those transmissions they wont hire you.Mountain driving and Oil fields jobs use 13 to 18 speed manuals.These jobs pay well if you have the skills and 1 to 3 years OTR experience.Do not limit yourself and your earning potential.Without multiple endorsements, a valid passport, and being able to drive a manual transmission,you are nothing more than a glorified Uber driver. If you decide to become an owner operator used manual semis are cheaper to buy and service. Maintaining your drivers license, your health, and medical certification is your responsibility NOT THE COMPANY YOU WORK FOR. Make a written note of the expiration date of your form, keep it on you at all times, inform the company BEFORE it expires, and make arrangements to get it renewed promptly. It is your livelihood. If your are interested in a company,do your own research,have a list of questions ready,and call the company.This can be a very well paying and satisfying career for some folks. This job can be tough and requires a strong work ethic. If you are lazy,do not want to drive to certain areas, want to go home all the time, and cannot self manage this is not the job for you. You are rookie. You have to learn how to drive the truck properly,fill out your e logs,and make deadlines. No one is going to hold your hand once you have gone through the initial training.I paid for my trucking school with cash up front. I was staying with my brother after I was laid off from my job. I sold my car, furniture, and left some items at my brothers house,graduated from trucking school, took a job and hit the road. I never turned down a load.I would call dispatch when I was an hour away from the terminal looking for nearby loads. My dispatcher respected me for that and took care of me. My first year I stayed out for 6 months before I went home. I came into this game to master it and put money in the bank. I made $49,000 my first year,saved $10,000 and helped out my mom. 15k above my last job.In my second year I took a Oil Tanker job with another company in another state and made $77,000 that year. With 2 years in trucking I tripled my annual salary.You have to be a self starter,hard runner, and willing to go where the good paying work if you want to be successful in this industry.Otherwise go work at Trader Joe's. Good luck.

I was 6 days away from finishing my contract , I was forced to take a new partner! he wrecked the truck in 10 minutes and I was in the hospital , knocked me out , broken bones in back and chest 8 . CRST had me kicked out of hospital and left me on the side of the road under the influence of MORPHINE!! refused to help me get home , refused to get me any medical care, and I was told to go back to work by their MDs. Thats what you are in for!! dont get hurt BE SAFE

I got fired with only 4 months left on my contract. They can kiss my ass about paying them back the $6,500. As far as I know, with all the time I sacrificed and loads I delivered on time, I paid them back a long time ago.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m in school right now and will fulfill my contract with CRST one I get my CDL. I will defiantly be on the lookout for the games that they’ll play. Hope everything worked out great for you!!!

Working for CRST was hell, Thankfully i finished my contract at the end of december and was able to start the new year WITHOUT them 🙏

She’s not lying, DONT go to CRST !!

Omg I was just about to join em they told me since I’m in California they would take care of me all I hade to do is pay my cdl and have money for two weeks then I am hired and great pay but after seeing this it really makes me think differently thank you for upload

The look to see if you bout to get caught shows me I can’t take what you saying serious.

I didn't finish my contract I quit my second month. Our DM didn't help at all you are so right and we were sent to the worst places thank God you got out of there.

Hope u find a better job.i been a driver a trainer an owner op.i did it for about 8 years and thinking abt getting back to driving thnx 4 the info.

Good vídeo girl good to know!! Thanks for the advise👌👍✌😊

It's your responsibility to keep track of your medical card!

I Worked For CRST 10 Months Contract Company There Tell You Anything To Get The Load Delivered Thank God My Trainer Didn't Like CRST Also Understand What You Feel Move On From The Contract Better Off

B. Smoove warned me about this company NOW I think I'll actually take his advice 👏🏾

Perfect weaves and the spacing of your highlights are flawless.

They just called me and ask me if I was still wanted to come to there school but I didn’t give no answer because I wasn’t done looking in to it but now I can I’m going to TMC trucking

I'd say go for the 1 year for the experience and go to a better company I went to Swift and and still there it's such good company

You have to start somewhere.

I did a total of 10 years in prison. This is sounding WAY too much like my time in prison. I have CRST planning to give me a pre-hire letter. I think I ‘ll be looking elsewhere.

Hey Sis I got my CDL class A but since I don’t have experience it’s hard to land a gig. What company would you recommend for experience. I really want to do local like US Foods. Or Beer delivery?

Yo funny story but I actually was training my trainer lol fool was awful at driving I always had to help him that’s not my job! He always got the king pin in front of the plate on the tractor cause he was to lazy to get out and look if the trailer was to high or low

Please Help, I have been researching different companies to go to just to get some training done because I do have my cdl's but when you just got out of school they want you to have some experience working which I don't and I been hearing so many bad things about all these companies I want to go to make the decision so hard. Help these are some list of companies I was looking at. CRST, COVENANT TRANSPORT, PAM TRANSPORT. Which one is okay just to start to get experience down. Thanks

I worked for crst, completed my contract. Hated working there. I left and work for a really good company now. Better pay, equipment, always answer the phone! If anyone wants the hook up hit me up and I will get you in. Trucks come with tv, direct tv all the movie channels and nfl ticket, microwave, fridge, cb radio and real mattress. Hit me up

You got this !!

What's a good starting company . I don't mind doing the contract I just want the experience , get the CDL and go

Sounds almost exactly like Western Express

U must have had horrible dms,because our dm sent multiple messages on Qualcomm about med cards and set the appts up .Plus he made us sit when the weather was horrible especially in Oregon. Could have made more money, but that was my partner fault he wanted to on a xpo load from san Antonio to bessemer Alabama. Sorry for your experience though.

To be honest with you every single mega carrier sucks ass...some just pay more then others.

First congratulations on getting your cdl license. I know from experience most people do not make it through the program. After you got cdl license you should have left staying is mistake and huge waste of time .

When do u take your 1st drug test after arrival?? & were you stationed in Riverside?

Do you get to pick your team driver or how does that work?

What up pretty lady good job take care yourself this world is Crazy 🤣

Shit wen we wuz dere we got dem license & wuz outtake dere in 3weeks 😁

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE INFO, BEING A FEMALE, THAT KNOWLEDGE IS VERY VALUABLE!!!

If not CRST, then who do you recommend?

🤣🤣🤣🤣Damn that shyt was hella funny

We are looking for teams. 6000$ per week to the team. Drop hook 53’ dryvan light load. Automatic Trucks

Only you are responsible for knowing when your medical is expired,always renew it early. Co-drivers and especially trainers should always be there to help you,if not you can request a new one. As far as people not getting many miles there's a few slow months of the year you got to get through,on time pick up and delivery helps build your reliability as well. Best wishes to you.

Can you have face piercings while with them?

How drug test work there

Lol...i am currently off a crst truck bc of my lead being a comple a@x.....

What company you with now let’s team drive hmu

What kind of drug test did you have to take?

Thats bullshit safety should of just put you out of service...unfortunately im going back to finish my contract.

Are they felony friendly??

Quitting myself. No miles! Constantly lying. Loads getting took every week. Sitting every weekend! Thankfully I dont have a contract with them. This company is bogus. Jacksonville tech was the nastiest ever!

SAME AS CR ENGLAND SMH 🤦

You are better off not working for them

Where are you now what your Gmail ✌️

Mi 1 day 5_1_2020. Dont like this a want to go home

I work for CRST is real hard to get fire you have to do some bull. I only have 1 codriver. The only bad i have to say about CRST is you have to be in top of you pay and pensilvania terminal are racist. But i make 600 700 all company are not perfect 6 moths later fuck crst
