I started way too late to get a decent trucking career going but , I think I started with one of the best when I did. Cedar Rapids Steel Transport (CRST) had all late model tractors and they were highly concerned with safety.
I pulled for them for about a year until my health suddenly went south and I reluctantly had to give it up.  I made good money at the starting mileage rate of $0.18 per mile and I got plenty of miles every month. Mostly cross country runs. No incidents during my time on the highways that garnered an A-1 rating in the eyes of other trucking companies/ After the stroke, Swift was after me for months to accept a dedicated Wal-Mart run Would have beaten the socks off that 21 days out with a 4 day break. Had to turn them down.  |
So that is what CRST stands for....They do have good looking iron.
What is stopping you from becoming a dispatcher? Other than being called everything under the sun and none of it complimentary?
