I was talking to a friend of mine who drove for Star. It seems after Covenant acquired them they turned Star into a red-headed step child.
Covenant trucks are allowed to use all of Star's terminals, but Star drivers can only fuel at Covenants.
There weren't any trucks around, he started counting and 18 new( experienced) drivers had 3 trucks. Just started and you're layed over before orientation is over.
A few drivers left before orientation was complete, and it's only 3 days.
The handful of them who were lucky enough to get trucks were rewarded with road worn 5 year old trucks.
Oh, yeah, there wasn't any freight.
They talked in class mostly about LTL freight.
Those trucks spent time in line behind other trucks for a spot in the shop, (where they were short handed because of mechanics quitting).
If your going to have orientation, why be so ill prepared? Drivers were hitching rides with other drivers to other terminals for more road worn trucks. Some took busses, planes, while most just sat around the terminal.

I'll just stay with my trucking day job, thank you.

 

Do they allow pets?

 

Sorry.. I dont think so

 

Pets in company trucks is becoming rare.........

 

Hey, this is just what he told me. I do wish you the best. Be safe!
