CRST Van Expedited .. CRST. INTERNATIONAL Huge mistake .. Fleet Manager Nick Larkson and his Boss Lance Voutrobek just care very little for your well being and Safety . CRST Van Expedited, Iowa
I am sure we have a plan when we join a truck driving school . Please if uou plan to join CRST stop for a min and rethink your plan. Tomorow my contract is over i i have been seeting in a terminal for a week because i gave them my 2 weeks notice . My earnings this week was 30$ i know Its hard to belive but true . Everyone complains when someone does you wrong . I am really thankfull of the oportunity to get my CDL but at what price . There has been weeks i made 70 dollars .. They will make it almust imposible so you quit before the contract . Thats how they keep that school loaded with students .. They get a grant from the goverment to get you there and in you leave they will then collect another 4,900 from you . .free labor is very common . You will be waiting to get loaded many hrs without earning the must i waited 13 hrs . If i continue to write bad experiences I would need much more space.. Do yourself a favor and look for another company that wpupd value your safe driving and would treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve. I am so glad i am out of here in a week but it wasnt easy . Wish you luck

I hope you do get the message that not all was bad . It is what it is. This is a place to learn about DOT, get your experience and bounce . Belive me when i tell you the grass is greener on the other side . The pay is one thing but the attitude of some, not all fleet managers is really out of hand .not to blame because they do go thru a lot , Mr Nick Larkson was fired a week after i left for similar issues . Maybe i got the one that took it to a personal level and didnt submit my layovers . I have been driving for a car carrier since i left crst and my worst week is twice as much as my best one with CRST . I dont wanna sound like i am bragging about it but do your research and work somewhere that not only payd better but treat you with respect , call you by your name and you feel like home . Also respects your home time when its due . Driving solo also was a great deal . I dont put my live on the hands of another driver because my family needs me . Home so i sleep better, good luck man and have safe travels .

If you sit for more than 48 hours you get $40.00 a day detention pay. Your money issues are your own fault.
