The threat of litigation has scared off some megas, not all, and most smaller companies just yawn.

I've got a hundred dollars, and a bag of Cheeto's that says none of this is gonna happen.
I would have the ammunition, because I document everything any way...but most people don't. Hell there's people that don't even ever look at their check stubs...just go through life oblivious to everything (maybe they're happy that way).
When I was on eLog's, I used to purchase Vehicle Inspection books, and fill THOSE out...just to have some sort of "visual" proof of the days log without having to rely on the company to access the eLog system for a print out.
Trailer number. pick-up or trip number, city/state pick-up, city/state delivery, and of course where I did the pre-trip that day. All the info in the 'Remarks' section of the Inspection log.
Then in a notebook I'd enter Dates, Trips, Empty Miles, Loaded Miles...and when I got my check stubs, I'd cross reference "Actual vs. Paid"...document it...and if the difference between the two was too high (anything over 8%) I had ammunition to atleast question it.
And THEN, on another notebook I would document any and all truck related expenses (scales, out-of-pocket tolls, tool or parts like headlight, mud flap, oil, etc...) with date, location, etc...to reference along with a printed copy of the original recite as ammunition for when a company trys to tell you "we never received a recite" when the reimbursement is not on your check.

I covered my butt in EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, because I've been screwed every possible way in the beginning. It's not hard people---it's actually pretty darn easy.

I've done that too, but I'm not sure who can help maybe labor board. What other option do I have to get money reimbursed?

Excellent way of accounting for all this crap. It is a shame we work in an industry where cheating the driver/worker is the norm.

I'll buy him the bag but Im sticking to my guns on the mistreatment of drivers as expressed by you.

Ive already got #####slapped once talking about this so pardon me if Im twice shy discussing this problem in the Industry.

Essentially the mistreatments will need to stop. At the moment I defer that to those who have more .. diplomatic and beautiful words to make it happen.

Mistreatment will never stop untill the VALID information on this forum gets out to those who need it, regulatory and future drivers. Unfotunatly as i spit in the wind this will never happen because we as truckers feel very indepedent minded and distrust anyone that is not us (and fir good reason i might add)

I was hired by CRST as a trainer. I signed a contract stating that I would get paid .45 cpm and get paid the same for all miles the student drove. The student was supposed to get paid 300 per week. I trained 3 students, 1 month of training per student, averaging 4500 to 5000 miles per week. I got paid twice in 3 months. They owe me thousands of dollars.

Sorry OP, too much info, cannot process all of it,

Maybe submit a new application to CRST and put the suspension on there. Then you will know if the recruiter was truthful or not.
