Hello , last week while I was on the truck with my lead driver CRST called him and told him he had a sexual harassment case filed on him by a previous female student. Claims were he wouldn’t let her off the truck among other things , this distracted and upset him a lot all while we were driving through winter weather conditions, they also pulled his lead certification while I was on the truck and then temporarily gave it back . Crst has admitted he should have never been told while I was on the truck . I got off the truck on Thursday night when I could see him extremely upset and I didn’t feel safe . The driver has also did unsafe things while I was on the truck . Doesn’t pretrip , I found a flat on the trailer during my pretrip he drove over 200 miles on , throws trash out the window , I slowed down to let a tractor trailer pass that was passing into oncoming traffic on a two lane undivided highway he flipped out and told me to maintains my lane and when I side that the passer could have killed a family his response was who gives a **** you worry about you . These are just some of the things I went through , he wouldn’t let me put anything bad in my post trip report he did the report for me as it was his truck he said. What options do I have ?

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

Options?

Get with your next trainer and keep on truckin.

Those problems you listed are all specific to the individual, and shouldn't reflect on CRST or it's training program. Unfortunately, there are always going to be bad eggs. Report your findings to the training manager, and move on with your career.

Hmmmm sounds familiar.....David how long were you on his truck? and he was a lease op? lol We kinda rescued a Korean trainee 2 weeks ago off her leads truck at our Carlisle PA terminal. She had been on his truck 10 days, driven ZERO days, yet he told other drivers she was excellent driver her 1st week. He told my co driver don't talk to her! He had dillusions she was gunna be his woman later.....pfffft......Once he wasn't around she asked us how she can get off his truck their DM wasn't helping her do so.........Next day she text my co-driver and told him she finally escaped his truck, and thanked us....

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
