I'd stay away from Werner, I don't know anything about Star trans. All those big companies are about the same, slow trucks, promise you you'll be home at certain times then you don't see the house for 6 months, brand new truck then you get some worn out slow POS. Your better off finding a small company to work for where they know you by name and not a number

I agree, but you might have to "pay your dues" with one of them and get a year or so experience, before a smaller fleet will take a chance on you.
You have to start at the bottom and work your way up.
Biggest thing is, DON'T let them run you into the ground, and they will try.
Run legal, refuse to drive any unsafe equipment, record your dispatch calls with them, dispatchers are notorious LIARS!!!!
