Frank and Becky Shelton: Two of a
Kind

Cedar Rapids Iowa – For Frank and Becky Shelton professional truck driving runs in the
family. The couple went through CRST?s company
sponsored training-contract school in Cedar
Rapids IA and earned
their CDL Class A licenses together. Frank took an early departure from the
corporate world as did Becky from the healthcare field. Frank says ?The
environment at CRST was perfect us and the transition was more than easy after
leaving the hustle and bustle of the corporate world.?

The Sheltons
have enjoyed driving professionally for CRST Van Expedited for four years. By
joining the company they had a chance to pursue a career that interested both
of them. ?After the kids were grown we
had time to make a change from the everyday norm? they state. Not only does
the couple appreciate getting to spend so much time together but they also
enjoy traveling and seeing the country as they deliver their freight. The Shelton?s also run as an
Owner Operator team. They have been leasing a truck from CRST Van Expedited for
the past eleven months through the $0 down Lease Purchase Program.

Many
factors influenced the Shelton?s?
decision to join CRST. The company?s
excellent reputation was one of the most attractive incentives. ?We heard the company is great to work for
and their ability to keep us constantly loaded and running proves that? they
claim. Also the fact that CRST is the
largest team carrier in the industry along with their exceptional miles and
generous pay package all contribute to why Frank and Becky chose to work for
CRST Van Expedited above the rest.

On the
road the Shelton?s
get to spend quality time together but they also look forward to their home
time. They take part in various
activities such as golfing and gardening.
The main thing they look forward to however is getting to see their
grandchildren Caitlin Gracie and Cody.
The Shelton?s
themselves have five children three girls and two boys.

Family
is extremely important to the Shelton?s
and they appreciate that family is also important to CRST. When Becky received news a while back that
her father had a heart attack the company immediately offered her consolation
and got her to the airport so she could fly home. Furthermore they proceeded to get Frank home
to be with her as well. ?This company is
always quick to understand when an emergency comes up? Becky states. ?They really do care about their employees.?

The Shelton?s certainly do
their part to make CRST proud. They have
often rescued loads from other trucks that have broken down and they are always
there to lend a hand. ?I have taken my
clothes out of the dryer still wet just to deliver a load on time when
another truck was unable to make it ?claims Frank. ?You could say we do PR everywhere we
go.? The couple does their best to
spread the kindness they have been shown by CRST to other professional truck
drivers.

An
open door policy between company and driver is crucial to CRST Van Expedited
and the Shelton?s
strongly believe that a positive relationship with their employer is one of the
most important things. ?We have always
been treated professionally as long as we are professional? the couple
states. Likewise CRST values the
dedication of their employees. ?We have a history of hiring
top-notch drivers? claims Dave Rusch President and COO of CRST Carrier Group.
?We work hard to understand and respect quality of life issues for these men
and women and our drivers thank us by being loyal driving safely and bringing the freight in on time.?

Frank and Becky Shelton look forward to a long
successful future as Owner Operators for CRST Van Expedited. They are both dedicated to working diligently
and ethically for the company and they give great advice when they say ?Do
your work 110% and this industry will make it worth your effort.? This statement is spoken from
experience. They have both given 110%
and have seen the benefits of working for CRST one of the leading companies in
the business.
