Injured in a truck accident

I thought the part about the husband driving the CRST truck to a safe-haven without a valid CDL license w/o a qualified driver present and crst making a big stink about it regardless the circumstances was perfectly inline per company response. I was almost fired once for logging in to corporate email while off the clock on a weekend. I thought that was ridicoulus and got reamed, threatened ove rmy job with wage and hour law crapola...

Companys dont play these days. And they sure wont be your mother looking out for you missing buses and such. It is what it is out there in employment world these days. Corporations want to be flattered and spoke highly of by employees even if they are sticking it to them. At the same time they are on guard for employees exploiting retaliation that can cost them, justified or not.

That is also the reason of the no sympathy, or empathy factor. Companys dont know if an employee is gunning for them as a casualty, and in turn the communication of an incident can increase liability. I learned in my previous field where much liability is at stake the best response was never yes or no. It was always best to use the "cant recall" response. Telling a medical insurance adjuster one is fine after a big accident falls into that reasoning.

Once more-
One has to accept the outcome, and risk associated with breaking State and Federal Laws and suffer those consequences.

That scenario also carries into anticipating the consequences of a voluntary choice that could predicate lifes precarious outcomes. HUH? unfortunately i am sober folks HA!

Im still learning too... So not to come across as a know it all ###...

Just throwing out a mans perspective. I arrived after thought i saw somehthing about "women and exposing" in a sentance and it set off my man alarm...Something else I guess we men are faulted on...

Thats all

 

so let me get this straight after all of that "research" you still went with crst

 

Very cool, nice....would not happen where I work. Something to think about for sure.

 

Actually there is. Survival extincts go far beyond the simple "fight or flight" mentality especially when intelligenece comes into play. An intelligent individual will analyze the problem and come up with the best possible solution to make it out of the situation with as little threat to their well being as possible. Factor in a new environment and shock and it is easy to understand her response. By the way I am a man who has had a few encounters with battered women in the past and the counseling offered thereafter so I am acutely aware of how women perceive threats especially from men in authority positions.

The OP posted a copy of the statement she sent to CRST management. She does not have to "fish" for a check at all. The company dropped the ball seriously and legal action is in order. By sharing her story with the rest of us here she has attempted to warn others of CRST's culture of indifference especially when dealing with an accident and an incompetent, abusive lead driver.

I offered an opposing viewpoint and suggested classix look into some help from his physician for what "may" be a problem. If you intend to comment on something then be sure you can defend your posts or you will be called out, if not by me then by dozens of others here. It is the nature of posting on a public forum. I am aware of the rules here and do my best to abide by them. Had I violated a policy here I would have been reprimanded by one of the staff so relax.

 

I reprimand you for, ummmmm, too many quotes!

 

Well, if she is "fishing", one just jumped in the boat.

 

I have to disagree..Ok maybe keep quiet till she got to the hotel, But when she really started to feel uncomfortable from his actions since the accident. She should have went to the front desk and never looked back. She could have called crst and told them how he was acting and demand she be placed in a separate hotel room and a bus ticket back. hell this guy already almost killed her by running off the road.

But no she stays with him a few more days to be tormented more
