Consumer complaints and reviews about CRST in Ennis. They lie to the drivers. Shoot for a solo company. Team driving for CRST for split miles and low pay is a joke. [ SOLO Driver Application ]. We have a clear understanding that developing partnerships with top-quality owner. CRST Malone is one of the oldest truckload.

I have noticed since being here that the ones this doesnt work out for dig their own graves. They turn down loads, dont want to drive a certain miles, etc. The money is definitely there.

I have been consistently making even more than they told me i could. Axisvm 10 Crack Exe here. I havent had a problem since starting. As long as you can deal with taking someone in your truck with you, the Lease Purchase program is even better than advertised.

I highly recommend it for anyone who is truly trying to make the most money possible. Just No, don't even think about it, get trained any where else other than CRST. If your idea of a great job is 'trying' to catch a solid 8 hours in the sleeper while a complete stranger you just met, whom you were entirely convinced after the first 5 minutes of meeting said individual, you wouldn't trust them to be around your children, much less your dog or cat, is behind the wheel of 80,000 pounds of steel traveling at 63 mph, who you were forced to ride with because the two of you live less than an hour apart from each other, then this most definitely is the job for you. The management here is a joke, very unprofessional. It seems like the worst come to work here.

The employees here seem to give no darn about you, and they seem to murmur bad things about the drivers as they walk away from the desk. I came here a couple of years ago to go to the school here and it seemed better back then. I dont know if there was a chamge in the management but it sucks here.

Place feels like a jail house in a way. Pick another company if you're looking to work somewhere as a driver. I have been working as a CRST Lease Operator for about 7 1/2 months. I have always heard a lot of negative things about the company and was skeptical about coming to work here, but my recruiter assured me the company has made lots of positive changes. He wasn't kidding!

I'm making more than I have ever made in 20+ years of driving for other companies. They have lots of freight, plus I get home for 4 days EVERY 14 days. Also, I was concerned about mentoring someone, but I have to say I love it! And getting paid for the miles my trainee drives doesn't hurt either! Inspect my tractor and trailer for any damage that needs to be repaired so that I can have a safe trip plan my route As well as my lunch and breaks so that I can make my load on time. Always pay attention to traffic while traveling on the road to keep myself safe and other vehicles in my surrounding area.

Management can be very professional but need to work on planning I would prefer less wait time for Loads. Peaceful but has times that’s not so pleasant after finishing my shift try to go to sleep on a bumpy ride sometimes it’s very irritating The hardest part about the job is waiting for loads but not getting paid for your wait time. The most enjoyable time about my job deliver my load on time keeping the customer happy.

Had written a long sour grapes complaint, but was wiped out. Driving for these pig farmers for 13 years, I let them rip me off, lie about me, refuse to get me home on time and endanger my safety. Safety used to run the company, but now it's corn farmers, dumb blondes and family. It really goes on and on how, they've changed. Driving with two mental ###s with autism (couldn't see and hear at the same time), I was given drunken lead drivers and crack smokers in the truck. They had two codrivers with mongolism-one black and one white with the big heads and the crossed eyes. If they can pass the tests, they have to be hired.

I had just gotten my six year pin and was cited for professionalism and punctuality, when they put relays' lateness on our record. They tried twice to run us with illegal equipment and log violations. All bad reports are understated and good ones are company shills. 1200%turnover rate? That means each member of their entire driver payroll is hired and gone within one month as an average. Yup crst is a crappy company ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever, those rednecks treat me like ### (slave) im almost done with my contract which is 6 days to go, and they told me to go home to get my hazmat, and then once i get out from the truck they just terminated me for no reason. Unbelievable right?

All i can say to new student is, before u sign a contract read it carefully and think wise, dont just jump to this recist company (CRST) or else they will mess up evrything u own TRUST me!!! Yes crst is sucks!!! Shittty copmany ever. Been with them for 8 months. Every time I have been on the road something happens. Dispatchers dont give a # about you. Been sitting so much time and they give you a hard time with layover pay.

Our truck been broked down for 5 days. We asked money for hotel and they give us an advances.

So we had to pay for the room, unbelievabel. Also they dont care about if you have experience or not. They getting new student every week. Once we went home with my co-driver for a home time for 5 days.

Dispatcher give the truck away to a diffrent team after 3 days we were gone. And then we had to go for a ride to get another one in ok. Stupid company, nobady gives a # about you. Before you go think one more time. My fiance joined crst in january 09 did the training passed every test with flyin colors.febuary was giving a lead driver for 28 days within thous 28 days he was let in a walmart parking lot for an entire weekend because the lead driver wanted to visit his family and my fiance wasnt welcomed nor givin heads up of this detour. After his 28 days he did his home time after 13 days getting his team together.

They left the 1st week the truck broke down; the sad part is someone abandone d the truck that crst to them too start driving with. A few days later the truck broke down again the machinic fixed the same thing again. Now if the same thing gets prepared and the truck keeps breakin down i have the common sense that, that is not the problem,, duh!!! So the whole 1st month the truck less than 5000 miles not even 2000 miles with weekend lay overs all the time maybe at total of 8 trips. He's made no money less than two hundred.

He's suppose to be on sunday but probably wont get her until thursday/friday.sooo the whole time he's been out he has no made any money (.22 per mile) truck not properly fixed about 5x which is (unsafe), more weekend layover than trucking, sooo when he comes home he will not be returning to crst. He can make more money in a day than he made in a money with the company.

An honest viewpiont, me and my girlfreind left our companies, me with melton truck lines, and she was with crete, because we wanted to be together. We were used to people respecting us and being treated like humans.

None of that here.!! They gave us a long couple of loads that were rush rush rush. But, after awhile, we needed a shower, but we were preplanned and our dispatcher actuly started studdering he was so flustered when i called him and told him i dont care how late the load is, im going to take a shower and sit down and eat a real meal. It had been five days, and they had the loads so tight, that we only had time to fuel and switch drivers. Then because we stood up for ourselfs, we got short loads. 300 miles here and 400 mile there. Everything above is pretty true and accurate, but theres no way i would start at only 22 cpm!

I started with PAM transport making 28 cpm. Still didnt make anything but i ate. After a year, you can go somewhere making 38 cpm. (Melton) or crete. But fyi,, make sure if you quit, its after a CALENDER year. That means trucking companies DO NOT count half months.

Pam laid me off on the 17 of jan on my 7 month. They didnt count the 17 days, so i only had six months. Thats pretty common with trucking but it kinda sucked when i thought i had over a year, and then 'they' said i only had 11 months. CRST are a bunch of crooks. The people at the training center actually stole my mail.

I had a letter sent to me for the road from my wife which had money (cash. I know, my first mistake) and when I asked Brian to send it back because it did not get there before I left he said ok. After a week I called and my letter was right there on there desk when I called.

I told them how important it was to send back to me but when I caled back it was gone and that was about 3 weeks ago and no one seems to know anything and Brian doesn't want to return his calls.###. Not to mention there dispatcher 'Roy' is a ###. What clueless piece of donkey dung. I can say, that both sides have an arguement hear. Though the reason that I am on the side of the people who were students of this school CRST. Is because I am shocked that, this is still happening.

Now you may ask why I am shocked it's still happening is because I attended a truck driving school 23 years ago, yes you read that right twenty three years ago. I went to a school called Superior Training Services, they had a office here in Michigan. I went in and spoke to the recruiter, who assured me that I would be trained well, how much I would make and even showed me a letter from a company who hired 90% of the drivers, from this school. Of course I was impressed. I was told that I would do a correspondence with my classes, then I would go to Indiana, where I would receive my OTR( Over the road) training.

I didn't have a problem with that. Since I was a young single mother, who desperately, want to work, driving and being on the road, didn't bother me. I sat down with my mother, who agreed to take care of my son, while I drove. Well I had started a job, since I had my Chauffeur's License class 3 I believe, since a CDL didn't exist at the time. This job required long hours of driving, which I knew would help prepare me some for trucking. I took the job, though I knew that I had to finish schooling.

Well working the long hours that I did. I missed sending in one correspondence course. Then I had to start all over from the beginning. To make matters worse. I had to take out another student loan and pell grant. Well I figured ok that shouldn't be a problem, since when I get out of school. I still had nine months to pay back the loan.

Instead of going to Indiana. I opted to go out to Rialto California, since I did have some family there. Though the family I had in California was over one hundred miles away from the school. So I stayed in a hotel. To train the class was suppose to be three weeks, though I had a problem with backing up the truck. I ended up staying for two months.

Thank God I had family and friends who helped me to stay longer. I did have wonderful teachers, they were thorough in their training, though they didn't train any of us long enough. Well I graduated and then the school, kept in contact with me and I went to every job interview, that I was sent on and followed up every offer that was made. All to no avail, what the school as failed to tell me, was that I was suppose to be 23 years old and I was only 21 years old when I took the training. I asked several of the employers, if I could at least ride with someone and get some experience. The answer was no, it was because the insurance companies wouldn't insure them, if they took someone under age. Then two months after I graduated the job line, only had an answering service.

Well I kept trying to get with other companies. Hunt said sure we will hire you though you have to go through another nine months of training and you must pay us $1200.00 dollars up front.

I told them that I had just trained and had a loan and I didn't have that kind of money. Then I get a call from the F.B.I a year later, saying that they wanted to talk with me about Superior Training Services.

Well I said sure, any information you need I will be willing to tell you what I know. The lady from the F.B.I. That came out to interview me said that, first I and others who had been going to this school didn't have enough training, and those that did get a job was later fired. We all were suppose to get at least nine months of training and then at least three months more OTR(Over the Road) training. I told the agent my whole dilemma and she asked if I would be willing to testify and I said yes. Well nobody ever got back in touch with me and I still had to pay back most of my loan. Once I explained this nearly ten years later to Stafford loan, then they help me to reduce my loan, though I still had to pay $1500.00 of the $4000.00 in loans.

Also here's the website, that shows the school was closed. Superior Training Services was closed in 1989.

If you look under the list of closures, it's number 8 on the list. Also on truckinfo.net under truck driving school, you will see that others got screwed by Superior.

At the time the internet wasn't popular as it is now. Though I do hope that this helps some other people. The person who helped to close the crooked school, that I attended had a lawsuit against them, that's the only way to close these bogus companies.

Also I applaud all truckers because I know their job is very hard. Though I am asking those that have made it to try their best to make it a better industry by sticking together and getting some of these really bad companies, out of the industry. I know it's not easy, though neither was the unions when they first got started. For those that didn't make it keep speaking out, talk to someone report it to the government, as well as a website called ripoff.com they closed one school and I am sure they will close other bad apples, though if nobody says anything, then it goes on and on. I didn't mean to be long winded here, though I hate that this is still happening now.

It's changed just a little since they claim they will pay you now, by telling you that you get to go over the road. Wii Download Ticket Codes here. I have no idea what everyone else is getting for miles or who their dispatcher is but i disagree about the company. I have been with the company for 11 months with 2yrs prior experience with dick simon and pride and never had a prob with crst.

I went through ads in cali which crst put me through, went 24 days with a trainer and then had 20 days at home before i went on the road with a team mate. We ran hard, always getting to pu and del early, never complained, and never turned down any loads and we ended up running 6000 miles a week. I am now a trainer for crst and i get about 2000 miles the first week but then we get anywhere from 4000 to 6000 miles a wk. My dispatcher is Loren and he has always stepped out on a limb for me. Hegets me home when i need it and if i need to stop for showers or meals, i just let hime know and he works with me. It all really reflects on your attitude and dedication to the company. Every company has its bad sides and problems.

Going with prime inc trucking in springfeild, mo today.kinda scared going to another state not knowing no 1 im from ca.itz all hands on after you pass the 3 day orientation part.i have my permit already so ill b sittn in my hotel room while the 1z that dont study.yeah all hands on 100 hrs on the with your instructor, no 3 day classroom, 1 day airbrakes an pre-trip, n0 2 hr dsriving time.100 hrs straight u cant beat that for training.im leaving today to get there on time on mon.2 dys on greyhound aint my cup of tea but gotta to it to bring in some income. I have been researching the named companies, all of you have written about in the aboved comments. It is amazing how little people prepare and research companies backgrounds, I have sit at this PC for hours reading comment after comment about CRST.I have researched other websites concerning the complaints and legal suites filed against CRST, the investigations and the involvemant with the F.B.I. For crimes against CRST filed by employees of CRST concerning/ via sexual miscoduct to contract disputes and questionable safety of maintance of trucks. I have read too many comments concerning drivers welfare and the lack of concern of their well-being,, by this large company that extorts hard working men and women, that suffer from low pay (If, any pay) the abandonedment of trainee's by traineers, lack of sleep, or lack of miles and even hunger, male on male sexual harassment and misconduct and threatment of female trainee's by their trainer's via sexual harassment. The simple fact of knowledge and being well informed, about who you work for, should be taken in account before, signing with any company.

Never, sign a contract that you do not understand or you feel pressured into.NO one own's you for eight month's and no company has a right to treat you inhumane or, threaten you verbally or your person, be you a student or, employee.this is without a doubt a common practice of CRST mangement. CRST mission seems too be, to cause grief and strife for men and women that willingly and hopefully, acquiring gainful employment with the belief, CRST will be a company that will honestly pay the worker the worth, of work given in mileage and personal time, away from home. I have never been so utterly, disgusted with the lack of fair treatment from employer to employee.

I strongly suggest that all, that consider CRST read the websites of complaints and fraud claims against them, being well read and knowledgable about the company is being well-armed. I regret that so many drivers have too go through such heartache, when trying to earn a living.However, from what I have read, these drivers that are moving frieght for this company are suffering from mislead, misguided, promise's from smooth talking recuiter's. Hi I am from ohio was excited about working for crst they said they would pay for me to get my cdl class a I had high hopes quit my job and headed for iowa well it was the worse went to kirkwood for school spent 9 hours total behind the wheel one day spent on skills and the instuctors were so overworked that they were snapping at the students. 9 hours behind the wheel does not make a truck driver I did not feel that I deserved to be given a cdl a they tell you you have 3 weeks of school no you don't you have 5 days behind the wheel with two other students in the truck as long as you get into 6th gear they take you on the road not just back roads either city driving highway driving and on and on real safe ya think one of the instructors at kirkwood feel asleep with the student in the truck and they ended up about 50 miles from chicago. They sent the student home and kept the instructor wow.
