This is a very unethical company. I got my CDL from them and completed an 8 month contract. They were advertising a new pay raise which they gave me a .01/mile, but then took away the safety bonus. I did the math and I came out ahead without the .01 raise if I had kept the bonus. They would add money on my pay stub like I had earned, but never paid. So, at the end of the year it shows I made more, but I never got it. If your co-driver quits, they pay you .21/mile while your delivering their loads until they find you another co-driver.

If you didn't make the $, don't let them have it on record you made more or you will be holding the bag when uncle Sam comes looking for youAnarchyRose80 Thanks this. -

Some things never change. I got mixed up with CRST back in 1993.Went to a local motel in Baltimore to listen to the pitch. "Well, since you're here, why not fill out an app?" So I did. I had a brand-new CDL and needed a job. After sitting through orientation in Cedar Rapids and hearing the phrase "95% no-touch freight" about a gazillion times, the first load I get assigned to with a trainer is 1500 floor loaded cases of garlic, with three stops in Philly and 3 stops in NYC,, including "the notorious HUNT'S POINT produce terminal", which is where seven cases of garlic mysteriously disappeared.. We headed west again with a load of shoes, and one month later when that truck got back to Baltimore I told my co-driver my intentions then called dispatch from a payphone and quit on the spot. (We weren't under dispatch, co-driver was leaving on vacation.) Best call I ever made. I drove for some good companies after that. Unfortunately, even as you gain experience and know the right questions to ask a recruiter, it doesn't matter because the answers are all lies.

I almost had to go to "The Point" last week(was planned on a beer run from Baldwinsville,was NOT looking forward to it). Thank Goodness the load was canceled and I was rerouted to South Carolina instead. Are they still doing HBO documentaries in that area( Hookers On The Point,etc)?
