Western Star Transportation

McDonough,Ga

I called Jim today...he was doing an orientation...and said call back

Monday or so.

 

That could be for many reasons...JCT was on thin ice a while back also.

If they release the 'black box' food carriers are gonna be pinched.

I used to run for Marten and rarely was any of it 'legal'...it was usually just a matter of needed 2 or 3 more hrs in your drive day to pull off a good service run

and keep everybody happy.

Im hoping Western Star works out

 

My main question is what 'idle times' do Western Star permit...after all they run around the desert alot and its really warm out there ...

 

I think most of their trucks have apu's but I could be wrong

 

I talked to Jim earlier today.

No APU's...their idle policy is 'use common sense'... if its 118 degrees

outside in Arizona,idle and stay cool..

if there is no need to run the big engine then shut it off.

They do run into NYC... but thats ok....I been there before.

Send in a hard copy of the application he sez....the internet app is just

like a starter application....he needs the real deal on paper.

 

Wesland24....do you have any updates from the road ?

Thanks...

PS:What about your physical ?.... do you get one there...run with the one you got ?...whats the deal ?

 

I will have to get the app from him. He just told me to fill the one out online. Have a good night

 

well, i just got my dac, i can truly say it did take 3 weeks. your dac pulls down everything they can find on you. criminal history. drug tests. tickets on your driving record. and companies you worked for, if they use dac. if they don't use dac. they won't be listed.

 

well a little update , Unloaded all my stops is atlanta thursday had to reload friday afternoon in columbus so i went back to the house in macon left friday went and loaded to deliver in houston sunday at midnight , your right on with there idle they do give idle bonus but just use common sense .

 

Thanks for the update..

Do they use the easy pass or do you have to pay cash for tolls and get reimbursed ?

Is it true the trucks are top of the line units ? ... or are they just standard

issue trucks ?

Do they get you a new physical or do you just run on the one you already have ?
