Questions about Star Transport

You might want to shop around a little b4 going to Star. The only good thing about them is hometime on weekend. Miles are very low. Pay is lower then most. If all you care about is home every weekend go for it. Good Luck.

Star is nothing but liers, Bob in saftey was told after I graduated MTC in late OCT that my wife was due to have our daughter within a few weeks. I asked if he wanted me to wait to report so that I could do training and not take time off for my daughters birth but report after it. He said"No we will get you home!" I met a driver on Nov 3rd in BHam for ride to Morton, Bon run him all over and I arrived in Morton on Nov 8th. No pay No help w eatting. And was told to sleep why driver drove then sit up while he slept. I was given 1 hotel. I was lied to 3 times about being brought straight in to Morton.

After I did get there. i was put with a trainer left Sun Night. My wife was scheduled that tues to be induced the following tues. Bob Again lied saying"We will get you home stay on truck till Fri. I did ended up getting my own way home. Bob told me I was just gonna have to miss the birth. I said "not gonna happen" So Fri morning I hitched a ride and told Company was heading home. Was told call us when she delivers to get p[icked up. I became dad on 19th and called the 21st to get ride. Was told call back Dec 1st then 15th the Jan 2nd. Then I was told I had been terminated for failure to keep in touch and report. All by Bob who said I didn't keep in touch. My Cell phone shows diffrent. Steer Clear of them and thier bed buddy school MTC

 

Star hasn't been a "bed buddy with MTC" since November 2008.

 

As you said, look around. I drove by the Morton facility on 2/25/2009 and saw a whole lot of tractors and 2 lines of trailers just sitting there. When I say a whole lot, about 35 tractors and 10 trailers. I have nevere seen this like this in the past.

 

You make it sound like November was "ages" ago...
