Arrested in Montana

the responses on this thread really says a lot about what are country has turned into. We are a culture of ambulance chasers and frivolous lawsuits. Nobody was injured and nobody lost anything but a few hours of time, but every one seems to think they are entitled to vast sums of money over every simple screw up.

 

Could be.

But, I know a guy that was arrested and taken in to the police station, charges dropped and then tried to enter Canada and was denied entry because of the arrest.

 

Look up Jim Klepper and Associates, www.driverslegalplan.com he was always on the Road Dog Trucking channel, he's a trucking lawyer. See what he thinks.

 

Companies do the same exact thing to drivers all the time.Like Roadmedic said in an earlier post,this will probably go on the drivers record.

 

Who would you sue. What would you sue for. And what compensation would you expect?
We say the company, crst. Shouldn't it be drilled down with a through investigation.

Find out what single person is to blame. Then take civil action against that person?

 

I don't think I'd do anything about it myself but it didn't happen to me or you. The dudes got a right to be pissed, it's what we fight for. He'll probably calm down and carry on.

 

Say my name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As drivers we get messed with at every turn . Companies continue to walk all over their drivers,,and yes the includes us O/O. If we let them get away with mis-treatment every single chance they get they will never learn . we're on the road trying to earn a decent living while dealing with new rules and regulations being dumped on us. Add in company rules we have to follow, dot cops on our rumps , picking trucks apart, all that happy stuff that makes trucking oh so much fun..
Someone posts so many lawsuits against companies..Sorry I dont go for turn the other cheek when I see mis treatment of another fellow trucker. Regardless of how frivolous it may seem, the message will get out.
We cant do our jobs if companies can't do theirs to protect their drivers.
This arrest will go on his record. Its going to follow him unless a lawyer,,yes a lawyer can get it wiped off his record. I just spoke to my mother about this and was told the OP is going to have to hire a lawyer, go to court with police reports, plus a report from CRST saying it was company error,,,(good luck with that),,. The local RMV where the driver is located will also have to get into now..
He may have only lost a few hours spyder7723,,but the hours it will take to correct this will be a lot longer then a few hours.
That don't sound frivolous to me.

 

What for,lol

 

Well..put it this way...it sure seems with what you say..a company can simply screw you and you won't care one bit.
