- This is a happy Sunday Rant. CRST has lost another court case. Being in the sleeper beyond normal sleep time could be work time and may need to be compensated. Drivers do not value their time enough. This case is a first and goes along with what I have always said. All time at work or because of work should be paid. That sounds includes time in the sleeper. You are only sleeping 1000 miles away from home because of your job.

Yeah, when I was at CRST 15 years ago, they told us when you're in the major city your co-driver must be in the passenger seat to help the driver spotting blind spots, when the drivers backing into a spot or a dock, you must be outside helping them guiding him in . All unpaid time 😔
This is the best news I’ve heard this week! I hope all companies are forced to pay for all time worked one day.
Sounds great doesn’t it? Now if you were running a trucking company how would you deal with that sort of change?
And getting paid for sleeping would cause inflation. Less freight would also happen, (more trains)
That new CRST headquarters looks pretty nice. Now we know how they paid for it!
CRST probably has as many lawyers as the do drivers.
Its sad that Mark is one of only a handful of drivers out there who continuously puts pressure on the industry to pay drivers for ALL their time. I speak alot about being paid for all your time on my channel, and i get the most push back from so called drivers...Its mind blowing how dumb some drivers are..
Nothing better than hearing about mega carriers LOSING!
Similar subject is companies expect to you log off duty when fueling or bumping docks. Basically anything work related so that needs to stop along with asking drivers to do split sleeper birth. My current manager told no way I should run out of hours on a current load because I need to be off duty when the truck is not moving. Like you mentioned before hourly pay is the correct way to pay us.
Very valid points and great argument!! We need to AVOID carriers that take advantage of us!!!!!
Yes sir. If you're a driver and dealing with that truck in any way. The driver should be getting PAID.
Retired now Mark but always check in when you have something to say. You follow the issues that effect drivers and are important rather than the drivers that are on playing super trucker tour guides
If youre a firefighter don't you get paid to sleep at the firehouse. Not just when youre at a fire.
If this decision stays it will definitely redefine how drivers are paid, I do believe.
This only applies to team drivers which is why crst is changing its business model and going to solo drivers
I'd still be driving OTR if I got paid for my time.
I don’t know in the sleeper or not business,… but if you’re not at home,…. End of story,.. you should be considered working.
All driver time in pursuit of company business interest is compensible t doesnt matter if the drivers non driving time is in the sleeper
( Which the job requires) , fueling , overseeing maintence and repairs ,performing pre/post trip inspections ,loading / unloading or anything that is in the business interest of the carrier
I drive for crst. I'm doing good. I'm taking home a hundred dollars a week.
Werner should be next.
Right! All team new drivers. Cr england too
Yes ,thanks for posting this video.
Wooohoo! Another delayed paycheck from my FAVORITE company that DEFINITELY didn't pay me a trainer bonus, deduct it from the same paystub, and try to leave me with the tax liability!
I work for Great Plains Transport out of Mapleton ND. I am paid 200.00 a day. That includes when I'm taking a 34. It also includes when I'm at home. I believe that more companies need to adopt this pay system. However I'm given a choice. I an also take 60 cpm. However I like the majority of the drivers take the salary.
200 a day is pretty low pay
Mark is the voice of all truckers
Stepping over dollars to pick up dimes,Mark. I agree they should be paid. But if you can earn $25 an hour in mileage driving, why would you burn an hour to earn minimum wage?
Well put
Companies need to recognize they are running out options for the driver pool.
No. more driver candidates are coming across the border every day
@@AmishEcstasy Not under H2BV Visa program. The drivers that migrate here legally do so under the rules of starting a business and employers unable to fill positions by Americans. An asylum seeker could not obtain the credentials . That is the problem at the border.
every time you touch that truck you should be paid
My guess is that if the vehicle is parked and not teaming,how the company could find a loophole, probably?
Oh Great one. Happy New Year. I'm split. I think we should get paid for our time, but they give us a place to sleep. I sleep well and sound at night, so I couldn't imagine being charged for a bed or having to find a hotel to rent a room. I like my new, small company and they treat me well, with better pay and miles. Good to see you. 👍🚛🇺🇸
OTR drivers should divide their pay by 168 hours a week.
😅
Happy New Year!
Also... I got ANOTHER check from ANOTHER Pam settlement...I have no idea which one I have lost track. $267
Our entire day is dictated by the hour our pay should too.
i used to get paid 50 a night to sleep in the truck at gemini. but now im home every night haul crude paid by the hour after 40 hrs paid a phone stipend and 10 paid holidays and ot pay for holidays worked
From what I hear Walmart is now paying the drivers to sleep in the truck when they can't make it back to their home terminal
Walmart drivers get $42 per day for sleeping in the truck whether at a terminal, store, or on the road. But it didn’t result in higher pay at the end of the week. It just caused the pay structure to change.
Gemini motor transport pays 50 a night for sleeping in the truck
@midlifetrucker-thombell4722 are companies good at manipulating wages or what !!!!!!!! The workers get the shaft in the very end basically and never get a chance to get ahead.
And a lot of times it does not even matter if you're in a union or not because the company pays off the Union. Been there and done that
Working hard to hang by a string is the name of the game.
survival is not guaranteed
@@williampeters6004 I don’t know about you, but I’m only a four year veteran of this industry. Three of those years I’ve made six figures as a company driver. I’m pretty happy.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!
Although, IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT TRACTOR/TRAILER and or LOAD/S, YOU ARE ON THE JOB AND SHOULD BE PAID IN FULL.
STOP driving for the MILE. This ain't the 21st. Century.
Amen...
My wife is a corporate lawyer I can tell you for sure if it's six figures and not bad six figures
Time is life.
then why aint i getting payed 24/7? i drop a load i go into the sleeper im still there for work, where else am i gonna go
Rates would have to be regulated again.
It always seems od this company thinks high turnover of drivers hiring lawyers and bad publicity is saving them any money.
Just divide your weekly pay by the hours you spent in the truck.
If you spent 70 hours in the truck and make $1500 a week, 1500/70= $21.43hr
Drivers should push for more pay instead crying about how they getting paid.
Now the company going to lower mileage pay to make up for sleeper pay and you end up with the same check.
Companies know all the game that’s why governed truck pays more and non governed truck pays less.
You want to go 80mph? Cool you get 55cpm.
AGREE!!!!!!!
Totally correct. As well, don't work for a publicly traded company, unless you're buying the stock as well. These owners have very deep pockets and will cry "hurting " over and over. Get smart, listen to Mark.
Yeah from Cedar Rapids Iowa where their headquarters is located they shut their school down they laid off a bunch of office company employees they own lot of real estate on the southwest side of town where the college was now it's all empty they spent multi-millions$$$ on a glass Palace downtown beautiful building it's not going to be feasible I have a feeling they'll probably going to file bankruptcy would not surprise me
Crash and Roll Stunt Team "true to fact i have worked here "
Don’t team drivers split the pay anyways, so you are already paid while someone else is driving? I’ve haven’t heard of them not getting paid before 🤷♂️
Yes, at half rate at virtually all fleets.
Last I heard, teams were splitting seven cents a mile.
I just saw an add on indeed advertising $30 an hour for 7 hours a day, home daily. Then when you read the add its 13.5 hours from the time you clock in till the time you clock out 7 hours driving with the rest of the time sitting at the shipper/receiver. Some of these job adds make me want to pull my hair out. I think drivers should make a point at least once a week to call a company and tell them why you want come work for them if they all get bombarded with phone calls telling them we are not falling for it they will have to report back why out of all these calls no one would hire on. I'm willing to work but im not driving a truck for less than what factory jobs are paying.
😅
If carriers are forced to pay for every hour in the truck including sleeper berth time, company OTR drivers will take the biggest financial hit ever. Just as with the overtime bill.
oh well they've cheated drivers for years
He said "company or drivers" take the hit
I don't understand
The driver's would make more right?
I mean unless the megas manipulate the pay rates...
@@katdaddy469 No, the drivers would take a huge hit. If companies were faced to pay hourly with overtime, company drivers would do 40 hours, that’s it. They’d slip seat the trucks. OTR would be done by lease contractors.
It very well could go to supreme court because it is federal jurisdiction.
CRST- Can't Really Stand Trucking
I just went back OTR a few months ago. I waited for 4 months to figure out my average daily pay. Not worth it to me since I have a certain amount I would like to get per day. Found some local work that sounds better so checking on that. Its the only industry once you get any experience your pay is pretty much the same your entire career. This year marks my 30th year driving.,
i make more home daily hauling crude its the easiest job ive ever had
@@JASONHJEFFERSONUnfortonantly where I live not much local unless I want to drive about an hour each way. What is available is low pay like $18 an hr and up. Cost of living is cheap though.
@@JASONHJEFFERSONwhat's your location Jason? I'm down here in South Louisiana. We got crude oil in the air lol
@@katdaddy469 I live in Raeford NC. Local work around just have to drive about an hour each way.
I think CRST is starting to make CR England look good, and I drove team for CRE years ago.
Those fucking crooks owe me for 30 hours of detention and a reset for just a one month period! I've had it with these mega carriers pissing on this industry and telling us it's raining hot lemon tea and we should be thankful!
CRE got more dedicated accounts. Otr sucks period!
What ever happened to crap company of the week mark? Always entertaining
Might be the beginning of hourly pay
Hourly pay sounds great, doesn’t it? As a company driver you’d get 40 hours. Thats a pretty big pay cut.
@midlifetrucker-thombell4722 they're already supposed to be held to the standard of at least minimum wage
@@USA_SNEAKLEAKER Do you not feel that you make minimum wage? Oh wait, you want to count sleep time.
Is your steering wheel on the passenger side?
Front camera reverses image
team only or team and solo drivers?
My understanding is team only.
👍✌💪
The government is biggest con Han all😮meas, I’m hauling USPS😢roue only pays .5 hours yet at minimum I’m n the😢truck 12.5 hours 7 nights a week
10 hrs is too long anyway
Everyone should stop voting.
Crst sucks
