At the end of my meeting this morning with CRST Int'l CEO David Rusch and Expedited Division President Michael Rusch, I confirmed their approval for me to share the broad strokes overview of our discussion. In brief, they recognize the toxicity in the driver culture and seem serious in their commitment to change that. It took some straight talk from a driver who was able to get beyond the specific details of their own struggles and communicate the underlying root causes of why these struggles persist in spite of efforts by management to improve situations. I may not be around CRST long enough to see the fruit of this effort but if the effort is both sincere and successful then I think we all will see the perception of CRST changing in the coming months and years. Following my meeting I do believe these leaders are sincere and committed so the challenge for them will be getting the rest of the ship turning in the same direction.

bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -
I agree. I'm just glad to hear that they are taking steps to make things better. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jake_Blue Thanks this. -
Hate to tell you but their primary interest is the bottom line, they have a method to run the company and most likely they will be very slow to make any changes because of your input, ,good you had a chance to speak with them but I doubt if they change,,, CRST Werner,Swift, Schneider and hundreds of other big carriers know that when a driver quits or gets run over and killed in the parking lot there are 100 more waiting to try the great adventure and play "Smoky and the Bandit"
