    But if you get an attorney you have to pay x amount to him. Well this has been going on and their attorneys will drag it out until you have paid way more than a contract.

    No, if they breached a contract, he has damages. I would definitely consult an attorney.

    Google CRST sues JB Hunt and Werner.

    http://www.ccjdigital.com/court-blocks-jb-hunt-from-recruiting-certain-drivers/

    Basically people went with CRST got their license and bailed.

    Apparently a large amount of them went to Werner and JB Hunt.

    CRST sued those companies for poaching their drivers they had under contract. CRST won the lawsuit.

    Point is you can pay it off till you're blue in the face but there's a good chance no one will touch you because of the contract.

    Someone misled you, welcome to the truck industry. Finish the contract and move on.

    Who was it that said they made a mistake and cannot pay you that? If it was a fleet manager ask to speak with the operations manager (their boss).

    If you get the same answer and feel like you still want to fight it then google your state's department of workforce.

    Make an unpaid wage complaint. You'll have to send a copy of that sheet you posted along with a copy of your pay stub.

    CRST will have to respond and state why they are not paying you the rate.

    The state wants to side with you so always be respectful. On a side note when something is crossed out on a contract, it needs to be initialed by both parties and I do not see that on the paper you posted.

    Good luck.

    Ask to speak to the operations manager or ask for their email. Instead of talking about about a lawsuit I would recommend saying I'm a month in towards my goal of 1,000,000 miles with CRST and it would really mean a lot to my family and me if you kept your word. I have kept mine, and although I understand mistakes happen I would truly appreciate if this was fixed immediately.

    If they say no Every state has a department to make a wage claim with and they really do want to side with you versus a big corp.

    Once a wage claim is filed a decision maker at the company will be notified and chances are they'll rectify the situation.
