STAY AWAY FROM CRST!!!!!!!
WOW! what a bad experience you had with CRST. I have to say, they do kick a good game their recruiter's, until they get you there. Then the table turns. I must say they will leave you STRANDED!! I know of Inmates that will get bus fair home. They treat you less than Human I Feel.. Please do not have a family Emergency you are going back home too on your own. They will not feed you either. You will go hungry if you do not have your own food.
Again, I am so sorry to hear about your bad experience with them too. I only wished that I had Taken it all in before I made that move to go there. You live and You learn. I will never return back to CRST, once my family emergency has smoothed out. I mean NEVER!

FRAUD
What website. Hey we will blow the whistle together. They left me Stranded in IOWA when I had a Family EMERGENCY at home. When people get there and after they have told them that they checked, out before they send them the bus ticket they come up with some crazy reason to tell them they have to let them go.. Then Stand them there too.. Please post the WEBSITE or give me the name.. If the Government is funding them that kind of money then they need to know about how it is been abused. Leaving PEOPLE STRANDED.

Terrible experience
Every comment that is posted above is true. My boyfriend is on his way back from Cedar Rapids as I post this. He left 1/10/12 and will not be home until 1/12/12. Due to a family Emergency he had to head back home. When he approached the staff at CRST he was told he would have to find his own way back home.. That lying Sarah S. assured him before he left for Iowa that if there were a family emergency at home, they would get him back home. They got him there and he was STRANDED!!! They also lied about the lunch feeding.. There were no lunch feeding.. Sarah S lied about that too. He left home Sat to go there and was only there from Sunday until Tuesday. Going through that dumb Orientation mess. What he did not like about was that they had the group to sign some papers and refused to give them a copy of what they signed..
I heard his recruiter Sarah S over the phone tell him that their would be lunch served he was had to handle his own breakfast and lunch. I also heard Sarah S tell him about any emergency situation that may come up at home, how they handle that. "We will get you back home" Instead they Stranded him. There were other traines that came in like @Angry CRST driver said during my boyfriend couple of day stay there, who had the same problem as the person he mention had. They too were STRANDED.
They told my boyfriend that he was cleared to come there, they did his background over the phone. He was fine. The day my boyfriend left to come back there were about 13 other traines on their way back home. Each for varies reason. Unlike my boyfriend, his reason for leaving was Family Emergency. I have been talking to my boyfriend for the past two days on his way home and he only had horror stories to tell me.. He said when he arrived there Sunday night, he walked into a very HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. He was only hearing all of the bad things about CRST, he tried to stay clear of it all, but everywhere he turned the conversation was going on. . First, of all when he spoke to the recruiters the day before he left. Sarah S. assured him that she would see him when he got in.. He never saw her and she made no effort to see him. The only time he saw her was when he went across the parking lot where she was housed and seek ed her out. Then to tell her about his family emergency that he needed to leave. Sarah then told him that she received the call on her phone about the emergency, but never once did she try to find him and made sure he was aware of it.. Thank God, he left her contact information with me alone with other information that she promise him would be. Thank God he had a cell phone with him too.
CRST made no effort what so ever to get him home or notify him of his Family Emergency at home. As a matter of fact they delayed him getting out of Iowa. That is the reason it is taken him two days to get home when it only took him 1.5 days to get there. When he had not picked up his ticket, I called CRST back and tried to speak to Sarah S, Instead I got a Stephanie on the phone who said that he got the message and they would not be sending him back home. He had to get back on his own.. (STRANDED) I said fine. Ticket paid for he needs to get to the bus station. they told me a shutter would take him. This was at 8:30 there time. There were a major delay in getting him to the bus station to catch the bus.. There were only two times that the bus was leaving Iowa 9:30 am and :2:00 pm. The shuttle got him at the bus station at the nick of time for the 2:00 departure. I had to call back and asked why is it that he had not left yet. I was given the runaway. I spoke to a Kim, who after I could not get Sarah S to pick up her phone. She told them what was going on. They only told her to tell me he got the message and will be leaving. I called back about three times when I checked and he had not been ticket yet. I was told they did not know where he was. She transferred me to what she said was the training area. There I went into a voice mail. I called back and told the dispatcher that I was going to call the police to come there to find him, because he needs to be on the bus on his way home for a family emergency. When I said that someone went to to see have he left and came back and told me that he left 10 Min's ago. It was 1:35 pm I was bothered when they told me they did not know where he was. Knowing that he should be on his way to the bus station by shuttle. Someone should have know if he was or not.. At least his recruiter. Oh I forgot, she never made an effort to know who he was.
CRST claim that they are about Family and Family come first. They proved that to be a lie. CRST is about MONEY!! by there being not much work for OTR, they are staying in business, by Scamming people, lying to people and bringing people to their CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA telling them that they are cleared for school and once they get there they tell them that they are not and STRAND them with no money, no place to stay, no food. For that person who went there and committed a crime I feel sorry for him. I truly do. That man perhaps was at the end of his rope with trying to get his life together.
I know that my boyfriend was very excited about the opportunity of going to CRST for his CDL. His dreams too was crushed while he was there. He walked in a VERY HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT from day One. God intervene in what was going on around him there, and made it possible for him to get back home. Although he lost money going there and it was a WASTE of time. Unlike most of the people who has complained about their experience at CRST in Cedar Rapid Iowa, he did not get but half of day Orientation. That was them having them sign some papers and collecting it really fast and refusing to give anyone a copy of it. Telling them it was for their use only. Never heard of such!! I told him what sense do that make. Anything you signed you have a right to a copy of it. They can take what you signed and alter it. That within itself sound fishy to me. I know I am going on and on. But my boyfriend gave me detail about that madness going on at CRST in CEDAR RAPID IOWA. So many people there very Unhappy.. My boyfriend said CRST in IOWA felt like you were in a PRISON.
Update, remind you he is still traveling as I write this. on his way home he spoke to another driver from another company who has just retired from trucking and has driven over a million miles That is because he is still interested in getting his CDL. . Who knows about CRST and the scam they are running in CEDAR RAPID IOW., This retired driver, told my Boyfriend he went the wrong way!! I wish so much that we have did all of this research before hand and read some of these complaints before he took that trip. We would be 700.00 richer today. He wasted time and money dealing with those lying recruiters at CRST CEDAR RAPID IOWA.
My boyfriend said they do not care about you there. You are only a number to them. Any company helping you to cheat to get your CDL you need to stay clear of them anyway. Any company milking you while they make you wait for trips so you can make money. You need to stay away from them. Any company who Strands you, You need to stay away from them. I hope and pray that others read these comments, before making a decision to go to CRST in CEDAR RAID IOWA for CDL. This will save you a lot of headache in the end and money. Something I wish My boyfriend would have done before he JUMPED to CRST Sarah S. recruiterss Lies..
@angry crst driver if you know of anyone that is pushing a class action law suit against CRST, know that we are in. The lies they told to uproot my boyfriend there and strand is unacceptable. I will go as far as to say they are Obtaining business by False Pretense. For everyone that goes there you are business for them. Like I read one complaint that said they are not making money on trips so they are making it with the traines they are bring in from all over the country. I also read that the Gov paid them so much money for bus tickets and to bring people in to train them. But it appears to me that they are using that money for the bus tickets, but they are getting the their money back. I really would like to know more about this Job ACT that was passed by the President for certain companies.
