Public safety record
CRST safety data (FMCSA)
USDOT 53773 · CRST EXPEDITED INC · data as of 10/10/2026. Inspections and crashes cover the 24 months before that date.
9 fatal · 63 injury · 117 tow-away
How to read this: an out-of-service (OOS) rate is the share of roadside inspections where a truck or driver was ordered off the road until a problem was fixed. Lower is better. Crashes are counted whether or not the carrier's driver was at fault, and bigger fleets have more crashes simply because they drive more miles.
Figures are typical reported ranges in U.S. dollars, reviewed September 2026. Pay and requirements change often and vary by location. Confirm with CRST before applying. The Apply button may be an affiliate link.
