Frequently asked questions
What CDL-A driving jobs does CRST offer?
CRST offers a wide range of CDL-A driving jobs, including team driving jobs, solo truck driving jobs, owner-operator partnerships and lease purchase trucking. As a family-owned carrier since 1955 and one of the nation’s largest privately held carriers, CRST helps professional drivers find the truck driving career that fits their experience and goals. Your CRST recruiter can help you compare driving jobs and choose the best match.
What’s the difference between team and solo driving?
Team driving jobs pair two CDL-A drivers in one truck so they can share the wheel, keep the truck moving and maximize miles. Solo truck driving jobs let one driver run independently and manage their own route. At CRST, team drivers often earn strong miles and paychecks within our Dedicated business unit, while solo drivers enjoy independence backed by a national carrier. The right truck driving job comes down to your driving style, earning goals and lifestyle.
Which driving path offers the highest earning potential?
Earning potential at CRST depends on freight, experience, miles and operating model. Team driving jobs are often one of the most productive options for CDL-A drivers because the truck spends more time moving. Independent contractor trucking jobs and lease purchase trucking can also offer strong earning potential for drivers who want to run their own trucking business. Your CRST recruiter can help you compare real pay across every driving job.
Does CRST offer independent contractor trucking jobs?
Yes. CRST partners with independent contractors who want to run their own trucking business while accessing steady freight and operational resources through a national network of more than 30,000 transportation service providers. Independent contractor trucking jobs at CRST are a strong fit for experienced CDL-A drivers and fleet owners who value independence backed by real support.
What is lease purchase trucking at CRST?
Lease purchase trucking gives qualified CDL-A drivers a path toward owning their equipment while building experience running their own trucking business. CRST designed its lease purchase trucking opportunities to help drivers move toward truck ownership at a pace that works for them.
What home time options are available?
Home time at CRST varies by fleet, route and operating model, so you can compare truck driving jobs and find a schedule that fits your life. Some CDL-A drivers prefer regional routes with more frequent home time, while others choose over-the-road driving jobs that maximize miles. Your CRST recruiter can explain the home time available for each driving job.
Does CRST offer paid CDL training?
CRST does not offer paid CDL training. However, we do have positions for drivers with at least six months of experience. Talk to our recruiter to learn more about what positions are available.
How quickly can I speak with a CRST recruiter about driving jobs?
Once you submit your information, a CRST recruiter reaches out to talk through your experience, answer your questions and recommend the CDL-A driving jobs that fit your goals. Whether you only have six months on your CDL-A, or you’re an experienced driver looking for your next trucking career move, your recruiter will help you find the right path.
Is CRST a good carrier for a long-term trucking career?
CRST has been a family-owned carrier since 1955 and today ranks among the largest privately-held carriers in the country. That experience, scale and safety-first culture make CRST a strong choice for CDL-A drivers who want a long-term trucking career. Many CRST drivers grow their careers over time, moving between solo truck driving jobs, team driving jobs, independent contractor trucking jobs and lease purchase trucking as their goals change.
