    Does LoneStar have plain "company drivers", or do you have to be an O/O?

    how long is the waiting list to get in a truck, I know for awhile they were, backed up 2 to 3 weeks maybe even 4. I thought about going with them, then decided to go with a small company out of Grand Meadows MN, Valley Transportation Services. good luck in Tx.

    here's what I kno about lonestar i hope i have done enough research on them i have talked to about 60 of their drivers some on the road and some on facebook none of the drivers that i have talked to have been there less than 5 years"good thing" none of them had anything negative to say about the company hard to belive not one of the 60 of their drivers! the equipment that they have is under waranty that means it's only a couple years old"good thing"the bad thing is ilive in ill and the time will be out for about 3 weeks at a time rather be out for 2 weeks but i can deal with that."I GUESS" well that's about all i can share for now will update on monday or sunday nite at the hotel

    Haven't heard much bad about them myself, looked at them for awhile, but decided they weren't a good fit for me, keep us updated. They run the I-40 corridor qiute often.
