Star Transport is an awesome and good outfit. They will go the distance with you. I have worked for them before and Mike Saylors over there is a true gent.

 

I applied with CRST too, and was offered a pre-hire. The only thing I didn't like was, what they called, a 20/10 schedule. There were three drivers assigned to a truck. You and a co-driver did 20 days out, then you got 10 days off while they other two took over. I'd rather be solo or teamed with somebody I know and trust. I'm not leaving my stuff on a truck for strangers to be able to use it. And I'm not going to unload a truck every 20 days. Makes no sense to me....

 

20/10 is an option, not a requirement. However, I do understand your point. My son is going through their school now. Let see if my decision to go with Central instead was a good one or not.

Honestly, I am used to being "alone", so I think I'd prefer the solo gig.

 

It's an option? Dang recruiters..... They'll say anything. I was told it was a policy. Seems to me like that's something that would scare some folks off. Oh well.... No worries. I'm leaving for Des Moines in the morning. Gonna start with TMC and be a skateboard pilot!!
