CRST MALONE

Hello! I am new here. My husband is about to start with CRST Malone and we are concerned because there are just as many bad comments about them as good ones. It's hard to know whether leaving your current company to start another is a good decision or not. He has the weekend to decide. I would like to hear your current experience with them as opposed to when you were with them 5, 10, or 20 years ago. Not lease to purchase drivers. Just O/O's on CRST's authority renting their trailer. I will be the one on the load board finding him loads. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

 

Yeah he has his own truck. 2007 Peterbilt 379

 

I actually did read your post and it was a good post, however, aren't you leasing to purchase your truck?
Here's the deal, while he'll be looking on the load board as well, while he is driving I will be looking ahead of time and figuring what each load will pay to the truck before I dispatch him on it.
I also heard CRST Malone shares a load board with Landstar. Not very comforting if that's true!

 

What do you mean by calling the agent? He doesn't have his own authority. Don't they have to be, I don't know, contracted with CRST in order to be considered for a load? I'm not sure how that works. I will be doing the business part of it from home. I stay in constant contact with him while he is out. I will run the load by him before even booking it.
I guess what I'm asking is, what is a better way to find good paying freight if you don't want to use their load board? Or do you have to? This is the first company he's ever been with using a load board on his own. He's been dispatched everywhere else.
