CRST Van Expedited Puts lies on Dac report Cedar Rapids Iowa
I worked for CRST for 5 months. I was new to trucking and they were my first trucking job after I graduated from a local trucking school. They discharged me , according to my fleet manager, for excessive idling. They wanted us to freeze to death in Wyoming, in single digit weather in December. But when I started trying to find another job, I kept getting turned down for something that was on my DAC repor,. So I sent for my report. I found out they put on it that I violated company policy, and that was a lie. I am still trying to get it fixed, and am not quite sure how to do it. I haven't worked in 6 months, and until I get this fixed noone will hire me. I will lose everything I've worked for , my home included, because CRST screwed me! Any suggestions on how I can get this lie off my DAC report would be greatly appreciated.

CRST slams ex driver

I like how the non-driving workers post a rebuttal that sounds like a commercial. They would not talk to a Truck Driver to his face and spew the insults they do. CRST is the worst company for pay in the Industry, but they will hire anyone. When I worked for England my first check after training was $900.00 take home some weeks I brought home $1250.00 the lowest I brought home was $650.00 for a week. England is a lot harder to get hired on and if youre late once youre done. As far as DAC/ USIS report I talk to several recruiters and I personally know 4 dispatchers from various companies and I was told CRST has reported negatively on so many DAC reports they are the new JB Hunt so to speak. One recruiter laughed when he read my report said Dam youre the first driver from CRST that they did not just slam he went on to say he has 2 previous drivers from there and has heard nightmare stories they just validate the dates work there and go by MVR or CDLIS. I work for a major international company they started me out at 23.75hr and Union. Im home every day and weekends. The drivers at CRST need to take advantage of the laws President Obama made on Union laws. If the drivers make a stand and make them go Union all they Con artist/ slave master treatment will stop.

This link here will help with obtaining info about your DAC. Based on what I have read in magazines and online, drivers have the right to request a company to correct or remove incorrect information from thier DAC reports. If that fails a driver can have a rebuttal or comments shown with any information that is incorrect on their report. Talking with other drivers this seems to be a common problem, regardless if it's intentional or careless. I also understand your disgust with CRST, been there,done that. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck.
