WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE CRST?

HERE'S WHAT OUR MILITARY TEAM MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY...

“I was worried my VA benefits wouldn’t be enough. When you leave the military, there’s the real fear of your GI Bill™ benefits running out before you can find steady work. When I found out I could put that money to work while I trained with CRST, I was all in. And, because I had four years of military experience, my starting pay was 25% higher."

CRST Veteran Driver

"I was tired of never seeing my family. When I was younger, traveling with the military was ideal. But having a family now, it started to get difficult not seeing them for six to twelve months at a time. Truck driving gives me the best of both worlds. I can travel the county, get paid and still spend quality time with my family."

CRST Veteran Driver

"Civilian jobs don’t usually give you this kind of job security. Going into debt at a trade school was going to take years, and still wouldn't guarantee me a stable job, let alone a career I could count on. Being a truck driver provides me the flexibility and stability that I want. I hope to purchase my own truck in the future."

CRST Veteran Driver

"My military skills matter at CRST. Trying to find the right job after leaving the military seemed daunting, but I knew what I had learned over my nine years of active service had to be useful somewhere. The people at CRST really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and that makes me feel good about my decision to drive here."

More information on the CDL Waiver.

If you have at least two years of experience driving a commercial type of vehicle in the military, you may be eligible for a CDL waiver to speed up becoming a Professional Truck Driver with CRST. At CRST we honor the Department of Labor’s program allowing service members or veterans separated within the past 90 days to take a waiver for the skills test in lieu of obtaining a commercials driver’s license, but it is required to also take a refresher course.
