C.R.S.T - If you want to go to any Truck driving training school... Crst is not where you want to be, They tell you they will feed you, they wont. They block every internet site lol.. No females aloud in your room, no drinking, TVs go off at 11pm daily(The staff working there are cool people) the people watching you on the cameras aren't, ... You wont see any money coming in until your 28 days start....You do have to pay them back for the bus ticket. And every week you stay in there dorm is $400+, They dont train you, they give you a thick CDL booklet from DMV to study. Then you have to take the test the following day. if you dont pass all 3 test General Knowledge, Air Brakes, and combination with in one week, they send you home and will NOT pay for your ticket back, depending on certain situations, they will pay half of your ticket..... If you do pass all 3 test, they will send you to Kirtwood College thats a 2 week $2000+ class.. And every one there is family, and talk to you like crap(i was driving and my instructor asked me did i see the speed limiit sign i said no, i think its 45, she said, "well maybe if you get your head out of your a** you will see it clearly) (then on my practice skills test D.T. hes a cool guy, but he told me, "Put your f**king foot on the clutch, next time you dont use it, imma throw yu under the truck".. There your 1st day, you write 191 pages of notes,(Pre-Trip) they dont train you.... you also have to study those yourself, all 85 parts of the truck inside and out, top to bottom and every thing about that part.... (Example: Air Compressor - Should be securely mounted, not cracked, or leaking any air, oil or coolant.... thats 1 point) out of 85...... the 2nd day, they will put you on the truck, and let you drive. if yu do ok, they will put you on the road in traffic the same day. you will drive more than a hour at a time maybe 2 or 3 hours a day. it is an advanced class, so if you dont get the concept in 4 days they will send you home, not paying your way.... The classes are from 600am to 430pm Sunday-Saturday if you miss 2 days, or are late 2 days, they send yu home. once you have passed your 3 test at kirtwood, you get your CDLs.... and go to orientation/Job Interview for crst. (this is how far i made it) once your there, they do a 10 year background check..... They told me i have to go home, i have 24 hours and told me to find away home and they wont help me because my DLs were suspended 2 years ago.... i am currently sitting here asking people for money. I have nothing else, i quit both of my jobs, My 22 Birthday is tomorrow 12/13/2011... and on top of that, i have a daughter back at home, im striving to take care of. CRST EFFs you over. Also, if you have any felonys, misderminor, 3 month gap in your work history and a lot more things they will send you home, but they wont do your BG check until you owe them there money and your in Orientation. Just a heads up.... If any questions about C.R.S.T.... please feel free to contact me @gmail.com
