    Like everyone said" Stay away, Stay Far Away" everything everyone sais above is true, they have been in bed with MTC, and the Person Incharge of Safety was arrested for stealing the former shop boos was also charged in stealing. They are laying off their drivers, some have been stranded hundreds of miles from their home. the miles suck, they don't give a #### about the drivers and the shop treats the drivers like ####. The equipment is shotty. I could go on but I will leave it to everyone to comfirm what I said.

    You should have all of your facts straight before making comments. The person in safety and the shop boss(who by the way was the CEO) neither one were ever charged with anything. The owner of the company hired back a woman who had a score (or she thought) to settle with the old CEO of the company and didnt stop until shefinally got him fired. As far as the guys in safety that lost their jobs. Nothing was ever proven there either. Star needs to go back how it was 10 years ago when the owner thought more of his drivers and employees.

    Star is having some big problems. im not gonna say i know what the are but i can tell you the outcome.
    i went from running 2500 2800 miles a week being home on the weekends to running 800 to 1200 a week and sitting.
    they did give me a brand new truck the was always having problems.ie broke down 19 days in 5 months not to mention all the times at peterbilt im morton or the cat shop.
    it left me stranded 3 times.
    if you want no miles, no money and no family life than go with star if not find another co.
    i drove for them a year and a half cause it was supposed to get better (it never did) and if i ever run into ritch from the shop on the street i think i will go to jail shortly after he goes to the hospital.

    Oh I'm Sorry Driver1995 can say somewhat nice things about Star. Either way Star is falling apart faster and faster, the more accounts they lose the faster they go

    Ok Pa Marine...Lets see, Star is still hauling catipillar as of 3/23/09 (you stated Cat was taking account as of 3/1/09) PROVEN UNTRUE. It has been stated Star was unable to purchase 2009 plate/tax fees. UNTRUE! (purchased 3/15/09) While it is true 200 drivers were laid off. This is a normal correction in the trucking industry. Times are tight industry wide. The attitude of the driver is the most important thing ant company has. Ween it comes to "laying off" that is taken into consideration (hint) I do belive by your post(s) about this company that you are unhappy/dis-gruntled. While this is America and we all have the right to speak our mind, Please dont spread unfounded rumors or un-truths. This only hurts the employees who work for Star. The economy is bad and alot of companys are hurting, In these hard times all we can rely on is the support and goodwill of co-workers and customers. I hope you are able to find a job with a compant you ARE happy with and may you have gods speed. As for the yard full of trucks/trailers? 200 extra trucks now. Ever thought of buying one and becoming a O/O prolly make ya a good deal on one!!

    And by the way the oldest truck in the fleet is a 2004 and its one of the ones due for return. (its off thr road) so where your friend got the 2002 from I have no idea have not had a 2002 here for over 3 years (dates things don't it) AGAIN UNTRUE!!

    There is so much that was said about Star in Morton that you really should go to the thread about reporting a Bad Company to check out what everyone says about them.

    it's obvious you are in bed with the company(starboy)(posting from Morton Il) if not the company posting comments, so why don't you leave it up to everyone else and let them read the comments. You might want to take a chill pill! I wasn't the first one to post about star. I actually joined the board to find information about my company.My friends work for star and they asked me to look into other companies since they were hearing rumors from other drivers. As for your comments about hurting the drivers, I wish them luck, because they should keep their DACs' clean, and start looking, as should all drivers with any company. I also stated earlier my information was 2nd hand knowledge. As for hurting the company, if a company had high standards about how they treat their people then other people wouldn't comment on them.

    Good news as of 3/23 we are hauling the trailers that were off the road away. The yard should look better now. I was not trying to be rude to PAmarine. But he just had alot of negative posts about this company as do alot of other people. But you moved beyond giving poor expieriences. And began spreading complete lies/rumors there is a difference, cat pulling contract, unable to buy plates, a 2002 truck. I think just about every trucking company has negative commentes on here (Just by nature) when you move into the realm of spreading malicious things ei; going out of business ect. you tread into a area you open yourself up to lawsuits for defamation, uttering and publishing, Judging by your comments I am confident Star has a good idea who you are. So if you wish to post about your personal expieriences ect. by all means do. but for your own good the Lies and as you stated second hand information must stop.
