Just sharing my story

So, today I realized something.... After sitting with no income at all having to live off pay advances thanks to having bills outside of CRST, and then being stuck sitting in this motel for the last week on no income again, since I'm being punished for my last codriver being a maniac... Since August 12, I've made $3. BUT, CRST won't pay for my motel for another night, because my new codriver just left to come pick me up, he's about 13 hours away with no stops or traffic, their answer was that I had to just sit in the truck stop and wait, with no guarantee he's going to be here in 13 hours (which is 11PM). So lets assume he stops for lunch, and maybe dinner, beacuse he does need to eat, we'll do maybe an hour for that. Then thanks to GPS, I already know there's construction on his way here, depending on when he hits it, it can be no delay, or it can be a long delay. And then he had to actually get to the rental place to get a car, and actualy get that car, that can take up to an hour. But assuming no delay, without speeding, it'll realistically be at least 1AM by the time he gets here to get me. So when at the time I had to make this decision, it was 10:30, so I had a 15 hour wait for this guy to get here, so I had to pay for the room out of my own money. So that $3 I made, I just paid 60 out, so after my pay stub today, I'm at -$114 for the month.

And today, after trying to talk them into letting me out of the contract for that exact reason, that I'M NOT WORKING... The girl pointed out that I was repaying money that I never owed, she had to credit that money towards my physical, so now that's paid off... Just got the room they never paid for, which is a scam anyway since they charge BOTH people in the room the full price of the room for two people, and the school that I wouldn't even call a school. They have a great CDL program, but it's a 16 week class... I only paid $4k to learn how to pass a road test.

I seriously need a lawyer. I'm going to lose everything I own being stuck on a contract and not getting any work.

 

There's not really anything they can hold against me. Nothing I said wasn't true, and I didn't target the company themselves, just what they were doing to me. Which includes just throwing me out on the street today. The only reason I actually had a motel room for today was because I payed for it out of my own money, that I probably won't get back. Otherwise, I would have had to go sit at the pilot, all day. Because it's a bad business expense to rent a room for me if I won't be there all the way until checkout the next day, even if I'd still be using it literally the entire day. 11 hours later, still no codriver here to pick me up... Even though my manager asked him to try to make that 13 hour drive in 10 (yeah, that was their solution).


One thing that MIGHT help, is I'm pretty sure my state is going to let me collect unemployment while I'm working for them. And it's pathetic that it comes to this. I have to collect unemployment to get by. Mostly because I actually get pay stubs that say I owe crst money instead of actually getting paid anything.
