$14.5M CRST Expedited Minimum Wage Class Action Settlement
Case Overview
CRST Expedited, a national trucking company, faced allegations of violating California labor laws. The issues centered on the company compensating its drivers using a piece-rate system, which allegedly resulted in failures to pay minimum wage, compensate for all miles driven, reimburse business expenses, provide accurate wage statements, and pay wages in a timely manner.
The claims involved violations of California labor laws, with specific benefits extending to current and former California truck drivers who were paid on a piece-rate basis during certain timeframes. Furthermore, the settlement addresses potential violations under the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
The settlement provides class members with a cash payment based on the number of qualifying workweeks worked during the class period, with those working more weeks receiving a larger share. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement benefits, and there is no claim form required to benefit from the minimum wage lawsuit settlement. The deadline for exclusion and objection is stated as October 5, 2026.
Who May Qualify
Current and former CRST Expedited truck drivers with a California residential address who were compensated by a piece rate between August 9, 2017, and April 10, 2023.
