    Hello to all,
    I am glad that I found this site to voice my complaints about CRST, they are a terrible company to work for, they rip you off on mileage and reimburstments. My husband and I worked for CRST for a short time and now they have ruined our credit and our DAC. They also sent us to a school in Florida where it turns out the instructorss there really didn't have the ok from Florida to give licenses. We just recently found out that Florida suspended our CDLs and the State of Florida did not send us notification. My husband and I would like to find other people that have been cheated by CRST and go after them with a class action law suit. It takes a lot of people so if anyone knows anyone looking to take down CRST let me know.
    Most Sincerely,
    Helpstopthegold

    Find a company that has the balls to tell them to go pound sand, I did. I am quitting tomorrow after sitting home for almost three weeks playing the co-driver game

    the better business bureau has an unsatisfactory rating on CRST;

    so i checked another large corporation to be fair - proctor and gamble
    they have a crystal clear excellent rating

    Well then don't work for May Trucking- Interstate Dist- US Xpress or KLLM.

    None of those company's paid what you drive and all tried to delay or get out of paying accessorials.

    It is quite common in the industry for the trucking company's to skim off the driver a little bit here and there. OTR drivers are not covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act like most employees so the company's can do things other would not dare.

    I have even had bills that showed the miles paid on the load by the shipper and they were more then the company dispatched yet they refused to make a correction. They will tell you a shipper pays HHM miles when the shipper may pay Practical and the carrier will pocket the difference. They will have a driver drop a load in the yard and then pay you from the shipper and not the yard which adds mile to your run yet pay you from the yard if it was closer to the receiver. They will pay you to the city on the dispatch even though you are delivering to a neighboring city. I used to get loads at IDC that said LA but where delivered to the city of Commerce Ca and then they would have you Pu in Anaheim and pay you from the city of commerce and not LA.

    You want to drive OTR? then expect to be ripped of routinely.:biggrin_25525:

    What is the circumstances revolving around you not working for them. Please tell all, will a class action lawsuit get your DAC/license "unsuspensed". If something at CRST is not what you like why did you not go to another comapny? Kind of like Mcdonalds and Burger king, I like the McDouble at McDonalds, but Burger King doesn't offer it. So I go to McDonalds..... Does that make Burger King a bad joint? NO, because I like their fries better than Mcdonalds..... Sorry about your situation, but is CRST the one to blame about the schools licensing issue? Maybe CRST had no idea.. There is good and bad EVERYWHERE, where do you place yourself in it is up to you!! Just a thought, good luck.. By the way, do I know you, I live in Portland too!!!

    Unfortunately most companies pay by Rand McNally miles. Meaning city to city. You will not find may that pay you the actual miles. As far as the credit and DAC...did you lease with them? Run late on loads? Abondon the truck? All of these could be a reason to get a bad report. The license issue is not really the company's fault....it is up to you to check into the school and make sure they are certified. I have been with this company for over 4 years and even though there are things that I do not like the good has outweighed the bad. If you are wanting into trucking you have to realize that no one company is perfect. You will find fault with them all. Best of luck to you and your husband

    I read the original post, CRST sent them to that school, meaning they would be liable for that, even in Cedar Rapids. Neither husband or wife have a valid CDL at this time.

    The pay issues are another matter, the co driver issue is well known.

    Good luck taking them down, I won't encourage you more than that.
