Proof Required?
CRST Expedited, one of the largest trucking companies in the United States, has agreed to a $14.5 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit brought by California truck drivers. While full details are still being gathered, lawsuits like this typically involve claims that drivers were not properly compensated under California labor law — which has some of the strongest worker protections in the country. This could include unpaid wages, missed meal and rest breaks, or other wage-and-hour violations. If you worked as a truck driver for CRST Expedited in California, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement fund. The amount each eligible driver receives will depend on factors like how long you worked for CRST and how many miles or hours you logged during the covered period. Class Action Buddy can help you understand whether you qualify and walk you through the process of filing your claim before the deadline.
