If you prize yourself off of best work practices, want an environment that prioritizes their drivers and you value your CDL I'd reconsider your decision for working for this company. This company has no respect for their drivers when you deem equipment down for DOT reasons, and will have the equipment driven anyway and not tell drivers that equipment is downed due to being unsafe to drive. They will treat you with disrespect when you inform about equipment needing to be maintained, they have favoritism, and treat you as if you're just a throw away employee if you go to HR or Safety about any concerns you have with other employees or equipment. This company does not value drivers that take safety, good work practices, value their CDL, follow DOT regulations, and want to be treated fairly with any good will whatsoever.

Load pay is mileage pay 

no unloading and loading pay. 

They hate paying deadhead 

Don’t question your pay if something missing on your check. 

Waiting at rack, if you’re there for an hour no pay, imagine going to a rack 2/3 times and having to wait an hour because is full. You down 2/3 hours and no compensation. 

Hight turnover rate and you will see why. They’re good and getting you in than their true colors will come out. 

If you care about safety don’t, because management will get upset, choosing not to take out a truck even though it’s your license. 

Definitely the starter company… Star is like the swift of fuel. 

The management for this company is horrible. In the beginning they were the worst fuel company to work for. They introduced a good manager that brought in work and made sure drivers were paid appropriately. Then he resigned and it went downhill from there. Drivers constantly complain of mistreatment and money constantly coming up short on paychecks. The escrow to become an owner op is through the roof here also. They don’t have the work and have to borrow loads from other competitors. Save yourself the headache 

Job is paid by loaded mile brackets (1-10,11-20) etc. But they pay lower than anybody else by alot. Benefits are horrible. No yard in wichita to park trucks. No local yard. Your pay scale is also tied in with how money you earn the company per month, only 3 tiers and NO RAISES. I mean absolutely no raises. If you get to tier 3 (top) and don't make enough revenue 1 month they will lower your pay for the following month. Managment is in Kansas city. This company does not care about you as a driver and will find reasons to not pay you a safety bonus or other things.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The clients. Getting to meet different people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The employees. The employees will work your nerves and the majority of them are rude and disrespectful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mixed culture. Some dinners I met was nice.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving around town. Talking to the clients while in transport.

It's hard sometimes to get things fixed and the c v radios never work because they don't adjust the s w r rating on them, and they're trying to run two coaxes when one works so much better you don't get the feedback. So it fries the radios, we've told them several times but not fixed. Getting the trucks in, you know, a great amount of time sometimes is very slow

This company has great organization and sets the bar high for customer service. They have high standards and expectations, and those who do not uphold their duties and meet expectations do not remain problems for long. This is a good thing for other people who strive to succeed. 
All in all, it is a great company to learn a lot and advance however you desire. Management notices people that are true assets and they do their best to take care of the people who take care of them. 

Micro management is huge here, new policies every other day. Management is awful and the training is just as bad. You will get in trouble for other drivers mistakes even if you had nothing to do with it.

No raises and absolutely no room for advancement. You will not make 90k a year and will have trouble even getting 70k. 

Do yourself a favor and dont work here cause you will end up quitting.

They had all the mechanics walk out at one time. The management don’t care about the employees. They tell you one thing and do another. They have a got you mentality. They tell you one thing. And then don’t deliver what they tell you. In my case they give you really old equipment and then get mad at you for it breaking down. They don’t keep up on maintenance. Went a month or so without seeing a (mechanic) because they all walked out.

Don't expect to make money here. Wait for trucks to come in but someone else has it. Samsara shows you speeding and bonus is taken ask managers they don't care if they are even there. Talked down to by all managers very unprofesional and child like people. Dispatch is clueless will send you on a 3 hour load with 1 hour left in shift.
