 STAR TRANSPORTATION charging for heat DATE LINE...STAR TRANSPORTATION DECEMBER 19, 2008… Effective January 1, 2009, Star Transportation will implement a new policy to reduce idle time. All tractors will have a standard of 30% idle time or less. Any idle time over 30% will be charged back to the driver at 3.00 per hour...Bill Harris v.p operations....... What? Is this just a cruel Christmas gag? It can’t be a Christmas bonus that ended years ago when our small dash stick-on calendar was cut out. So my friend that means if you drive 10 hours you now have been awarded 3 hours for heating your truck! Per day you might ask? No that’s 3 hours for the next 2 or 3 days, when you hopefully will get another load on the way for your impressive 1200 mile payday. Fuel at 2.50 a gallon and our trucks using less than a gallon an hour, this seems to be the best money making plot coming out of the “NASHVILLE BRAIN TRUST” in some time. This is the most arrogant RIPOFF I’ve heard in the trucking industry, charging a driver laid over or a driver on his 10 break 3.00 per hour for heat. We all know the parent company of Star is covenant transport “ripping off their employees must be their true covenant” a company with a reputation of a wet turd. It is whispered in warm halls of Nashville the next scheme is renting the driver the steering wheel. Oh yeah I almost forgot: STAR TRANSPORTATION IS NOW HIRING EXPERENCE DRIVERS AND TRAINEES…..p.s. please bring loads of blankets and your own dash calendar.

| I've been with Star for 2 years and didn't get that memo, so thanks for the heads-up. This just seemed so unreal that I checked their January newsletter online, and yep, that's their plan, alright. And did you happen to see Ronnie's monthly Bible verse? What a bunch of hypocrites: "'for I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' Jeremiah 29:11"This is the last straw - They can take their cold, dark Freightliner and shove it - I sent my application to Crete today. |

| I have been with star for over a year, i didnt receive that memo. if that is true they are certainly not enforcing it. i just got put into one of the newer trucks and it doesn't have a generator on it like my old one. so my idle time has been extremely high. i have recieved messages about it but that is all. i guess it all depends on your dispatcher. the only bad thing i could say about them is that the miles have been ###### lately. |
