crst contract..uuughh!!!!

I got hired by another company while still under contract

 

you were told by your FM you were fired? That's not normal procedure there. They usually call you into a terminal and safety gives you the bad news. You stated they are sti showing you as employed so I would check into that

 

I've been turned away by almost a dozen companies in the last few days Because of this contract business. It doesn't help that I am fresh out of the training program so the ones that might overlook the contract say come back in three to six months. So, I'm applying for jobs like delivering a route for PepsiCo in my area while I get all of this sorted out. The citation I got fired over is easy to deal with...the contract is another beast entirely.

 

I thought if you quit or fired your contract needs to be paid off... I didn't know they keep you on contract but not paying you.

Prime pays for the schooling and such and incurs a 12 month obligation

 

J2H...that's CRST for you. I was terminated on 11/21/14. As of yesterday, I was informed of not only being still under contract, but I apparently still show in their system as being an employee.

I don't mind paying it off, just let me work so I can. Hell, I don't even mind signing a new contract with someone else as long as they treat me right. I was ready to go to Celadon with 12 weeks of training and a 1 year contract.

I'm looking into legal avenues and I'm actually amazed and/Or amused at how many lawsuits there are against CRST ranging from sexual harassment to unfair wages. Sadly, I only just missed the one that could have gotten me out of my contract...lol

 

Fatdaddy, I was surprised by getting that from the FM as well. I was told the day before that I was supposed to go to the OKC terminal to get my reprimand for the situation in question. Next morning I called safety and they said to speak to FM and that's when he broke the news that someone higher up had dropped the axe.

 

I like CRST! Of course I come with "contract" experience! I'm a U.S. Veteran and know what "a contract" means! ..LOL!.. where else can a homeless person who is looking to restructure their life go, for housing, food, and a new career, in the civilian world!....I'm in my 4th month of my contract,.... CRST is keeping me very busy,(nice rig, driving-hard, 600plus mi per shift, GAINING "THE EXPERIENCE") and making money, paying my bills, all of which I couldn't do when I was homeless! I think CRST deserves a medal for pulling SOB's like me outta the trench!

 

They should have you write the recruiting ad for them.

 

"They" already are....

first post and all

 

CRST is the worst company ever
