We need more people to come forward about the dirty operations above and beyond the massive sexual harassment case that the EEOC attempted to take on against CRST. This carrier has a graveyard of skeltons with regards to their unethical business practices and they are not the only one who are in the business of benefitting from the truck driver training industry.

I hope you can find a better carrier that provides what they claim. I know that is no easy task. I have recently been working with James McCormack a recruiter who is a straight shooter. Maybe you should call him. The number is 770-334-8132

My wife went the other day to get her fentinal patches she must wear every day for pain,under the bridge insurance thse patches were going to cost us $400.00 OUT OF POCKET for a months supply.I had to leave CRST because of the low miles and the out of pocket expenses for my wifes medical prescriptions.I have been in trucking almost 24 years and I have to say CRST has a pack of liers working there.I can see why they have such a big turn over rate.thank you.

Tracy was the first to find this post & then Tom Hansen. It was because they spoke up in a public place that I could direct the Dan Rather producers to hear a portion of this story. When Tracy texted me the other day to tell me Karen won a jury trial it was such good news to know some sort of justice was served. There are many other gals waiting for their day & only those who have suffered in silence know what a lonely road it is to endure. I thank all of you for having the courage to speak out.

We met in CA at your trial. I am going back to driving next week. Good luck to you.
Tracy

I just want to let you know it means the world to me to know there is public support for the silent victims of companies like CRST who do not care about the safety for their women employees.

This was a case where the woman was able to secure legal counsel apart from the EEOC but was mentioned in the bigger suit. This is very good news. I know being in a court action this long is tiresome & very happy for Ms. Shank to have some justice
