Fraudulent company

My boyfriend has been driving for crst for 5 years now i went on the truck with him 8 months ago. He is an owner operator and they are starving him out. His truck is paid off and he is lucky to get 1000 miles a week. They offer him cheap loads take all his money for plates insurance fuel surcharge maintenance fees and we are lucky if we get 100 a week to live on. They won't return calls have you sit for days waiting for another cheap load and tell you that's all they have. Dispatch is a joke . there school is a bigger joke 11 hours behind the wheel and off you go to kill you or someone else on the road. If you don't want to train for them they blackmail you and won't run you. We are tired of being broke and stuck for days on end . Avoid CRST at all cost

CRST- Boasts about being Family Owned and oriented, debt free, willing to help YOU get your CDL License. Will put you through school. What they don't disclose...is the noose they put around your neck when your paperwork is signed the first days of school. No, they don't give you copy of the documents you are asked to signed and barely enough time to read the headers let alone the body. But anyone looking to find a job in this weak economy is willing to take a chance. CRST gets a Stipend from the States they hire in just for 'Employing New Hires" and I use this loosely. In addition they get the Tax Credit for each New hire and then charge up the nose for the school. $4000.00 per student, and in October and November 2011 they told students in the Fontana, CA Classes that they were getting in on a 'DISCOUNT' Class would only cost them $1, 700.00. AMAZING funding right? LIES...they are built on lies, deceit and a clear lack of morals and concern for anyone or anything besides their bottom line. For each student they hire they get FREE money from the government upwards of $10, 000. Shamefully, they hire to fire. There is no retention of employees or any desire to see anyone exceed in the company because their Bottom line is all that matters. Once they get their money for hiring you, they don't even remember your name. BUT ...YOU owe them their money back. What money? Double dipping should be illegal. And they TRIPLE DIP. State Stipends, TAX CREDITS, and YOUR money for schooling (which is a joke) Every disgruntled employee should report CRST for their hiring tactics, and double dipping from government funds.

Complain to the ones that can FIX the problem with CRST. The Better Business Bureau, IRS, State Controllers, Post everywhere you can. Do YOUR part and write to everyone you can and make CRST Do the Right Thing by their employees. Right now, unless you are white...CRST doesn't give a rats behind about you. Trust me on that. Racial profiling isn't done to get you in class, but it is when it comes to keeping you on the road running. Ethically this company has a long way to go.

Recent experience is that I was hired, went through the 28 days of training, was put on the road with a co-driver, sent to Cedar Rapids for ' Backing Course', went out in the truck with David Carlise along with another driver for an hour and a half. The other driver was behind the wheel for 1 hour and 10 minutes of that hour and a half. After my 20 minutes, was told to go sit inside and he would be back with me. He never reappeared. They left me waiting in the hotel and then training school until after Christmas and received a call from Dispatch and was told I was fired for not passing a course I was never given, put on a bus and sent back home. They didn't give me a course. David Carlise Head of Safety, did an assessment, certainly he isn't a trainer. These cowards won't even return a phone call to me, telling me I failed a course they didn't even give me. And they won't release certificates from the class until I pay them their money...They breached MY contract!

This is the type of information anyone looking to work for this company MUST know. There is NO retention of drivers because they are interested in the almighty dollar rather than providing longevity. They don't care about YOU now or later...

If you are interested in joining together and putting a stop to CRST and making them do what's right, email me, subject line must be CRST. [email protected]

CRST (BIG BUSINESS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF SMALL BUSINESS)

WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS, (ECONOMY MOVING & STORAGE, LLC), AND WE WERE HIRED BY CRST TO PROVIDE DELIVERIES FOR IKEA. CRST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF US AND COMPLETELY IGNORED THEIR CONTRACT. THEY OWED US OVER 100,000 DOLLARS AT ONE TIME, (OCTOBER OF 2015), WE HAD TO DEMAND PAYMENT. THEIR VICE PRESIDENT CECIL RAILS ACTUALLY STOOD IN MY OFFICE AND TOLD ME IF I DON'T COOPERATE THAT THEY WOULD KEEP OUR MONEY TIED UP FOR MONTHS, EVEN YEARS!!! IT TOOK OVER 4 MONTHS FOR A COMMISSION STATEMENT TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE BEING PAID FOR. WE PROVIDED OVER 9650 DELIVERIES IN A 6 MONTH TIME PERIOD. WE EVEN CONTINUED OPERATING THE ACCOUNT 30 DAYS AFTER OUR REQUIREMENT TO ASSIST CRST.

WHEN OUR LAST STATEMENT WAS DUE THEY SAID "SORRY WE OVER PAID YOU, WE DON'T OWE YOU ANY MONEY". 37000 IS WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY OWED. OF COURSE THEY WAITED TO TELL US THIS UNTIL AFTER THEY SUSPENDED OUR ACCOUNTS FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCESS COMMISSION STATEMENTS AND DELIVERY INFORMATION, SO THAT WE HAVE NO WAY OF ARGUING THAT IT IS INCORRECT.

OUT OF 9650 ORDERS THEY ARE SAYING THAT 6315 OF THEM WERE EITHER OVERPAID OR UNDERPAID. AGAIN THAT IS 6315 ORDERS THAT WE CAN'T GO BACK TO CHECK BECAUSE THEY CUT US OFF THEIR SYSTEM AS SOON AS WE GAVE THEM BACK ALL THEIR PRODUCT AND FINISHED.

WE INCREASED IKEAS DELIVERY RATE IN OUR MARKET FROM 40 OUT OF 40, TO 27 OUT OF 40 IN A 6 MONTH TIME PERIOD. IKEA WAS VERY HAPPY WITH OUR SERVICE.

WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THEY WERE SNAKES. THE COMPANY THAT HAD THE ACCOUNT BEFORE US HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND QUIT. CRST HAD TO USE THEIR WORKERS TO FINISH UP UNTIL WE TOOK OVER. THE POOR YOUNG MEN WHO HELPED THEM FOR SEVERAL WEEKS ONLY MADE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS A WEEK AND WAS PROMISED TO BE COMPENSATED. CRST, A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR COMPANY DID NOT WRITE HALF OF THEM A CHECK FOR THE LAST WEEK OF THEIR SERVICE. IT ONLY AMOUNTED TO A TOTAL OF A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS, ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE.

THEIR PRESIDENT ANDREW HADLAND SAT WITH ME AT LUNCH AND TOLD ME, "WE WOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR EVERY DIME THAT IS OWED TO US", KNOWING ALL ALONG THAT THEY WERE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL WE WERE DONE TO SAY THEY OVER PAID US. OH, BY THE WAY, WE NEVER INVOICED THEM, THEY PAID US AS WE SENT IN INVOICES, AGAIN WE NEVER RECIEVED A COMMISSION STATEMENT FOR FOUR MONTHS, SO WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE BEING PAID FOR.

WE ALSO DISCOVERED THEY CHARGED US TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR CLAIMS THAT WE WERE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF BECAUSE WE NEVER RECEIVED A COMMISSION STATEMENT. THEY CHARGED US FULL VALUE FOR THE CLAIMS EVEN THOUGH THEIR CONTRACT STATES WHOLESALE VALUE. IRONICALLY ENOUGH IKEA DOES NOT DISCLOSE THEIR WHOLESALE VALUE, BUT SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER IT IS IN CRST'S CONTRACT. WE NEVER RECEIVED COMPENSATION FOR THOSE CLAIMS.

I CAN GO ON ,AND ON, AND ON ABOUT CRST BULLYING SMALL BUSINESSES.

THEY IGNORE THEIR CONTRACTS AND DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THE MENTALITY OF "WE ARE A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR COMPANY, WE DO WHAT WE WHAT".

TO THEM IT MAY NOT BE A BIG DEAL TO RIP OFF A SMALL BUSINESS UPWARDS OF 40,000 DOLLARS, BUT TO THE 20 SOME MEN THAT WORK FOR OUR SMALL BUSINESS THAT ARE PROVIDING FOR THEIR FAMILIES ARE THE REAL VICTIMS HERE. THIS NEGLECT BY CRST HAS PUT OUR COMPANY IN SERIOUS FINANCIAL STRAIN. IT'S TIME SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS COWARDLY COMPANY.

THEY GOT TO BE A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR COMPANY BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LITTLE GUY AND BULLYING THEIR WAY TO THE TOP.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY LIVES THEY HAVE EFFECTED BY RIPPING PEOPLE AND COMPANIES OFF JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR GROSS NEGLECT. WE HAVE CONTRACTS FOR A REASON, APPARENTLY IT MEANS NOTHING TO THEM!

CROOKS, CROOKS, CROOKS, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CRST. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE AND STEP ON THE BACKS OF HONEST HARD WORKING AMERICANS.
