i got a few concerns about this company, i worked for star transport from morton IL, exactly 1 year ago from today, i am now thinking of going back, i only have 4 months OTR exp. and its with them, i havnt drove since then, i called and taled to a recruiter tina about a month ago and she said their only hireing people with 2 years experience, well i called back yesterday and told her i only have 4 months experience , and thats with them, now she is telling me that i can come back, i think it sounds fishy that within 3 weeks they changed their mind and decided that i was once agin qualified, my qustions are,,, can star take me to oreintation on false pretenses and end up sending me home?,, she also said that their is no eed to re-fill out a aplacation since i will be a re-hire,,, can star be lieing about that because i also have no acceptence letter from them either?,,, she set my orentation date for march 4th, im scared like hell because i want to drive agin and their the only place that will except me, other than westren express, and both companys are awful,, i just need more experience,, i cant aford to quite my job and go to star if their lieing to me, or going to some how or way kick me out of orentation, could anyone give some soild advice before i go???
star, morton IL

Stay far away from Star. I'm with them now, but am leaving in about 2 weeks. Too much BS. Watching idle time...fuel mileage...and they will drop your pay scale if you are not within their standards. Be prepared to freeze in your truck during the winter and sweating your butt off during the summer to cut down on idle time. I do get home every weekend, which is the only good thing about the company. I'm going to leave for a driving job that gets me home daily and no weekends.
Zoo Man and Razor Strike Thank this. -
I appericate the advice, I dread it like hell, but their my only option, I can tough out the B.S, I just don't want to be brought up their on false pretenses, and get sent home
-
They did just get new trucks in, so I guess that's a positive.
-
Yeah I have a few of them, I'll end up in a old one, I no how they are
-
I ment to ask, since I have a lilttle experience will STAR be testing me on the cdl book, for pass our fail test, during the orientation? , and what would result in being sent back home?
-
Stars insurance is the reason. the trainers were releasing the triness beofre the trainness could get everything that they needed to learn

Razor Strike Thanks this.

STAY AWAY FROM STAR. Get a refresher course. There are too many GOOD companies out there to take a hit and drive for them.
