Smile Star transport morton ill

I need to find more information about Star Treansport out of Morton il. Unfortunately I quit driving a few years ago and gave up my CDL, when I moved from Missouri to Illinois. They have offered to pay my tuition atMTC truckdriving school and provide me employment afterwards. The questions are, do they hold up their end of the bargin, do they have good orientation and are their trainers responsible enough to train newbies??? I'm getting to old to change careers, however due to a change in the economy and lack of business, I am forced to make a dramatic change. Since I live in Illinois Star is the only Company that will work with me on the tuition and obtaining my CDL license. Does any one know of perhaps another company that may be helpful in my endever to make a change.
All advice will be greatly appreciated

i warned another poster of this company, they may have a fairly good safety rating, but the driver rating is rather low overall. read the stats i send you. the HIGHER the DRSEA rating, the WORSE......the drivers DRSEA is nearly 75%.....that's not good at all. then there are other stats to pay attention to, like the OOS (out of service) and number of moving violations....

believe it or not, Swift's DRESA (for drivers) is LOWER...!!!!!!
