One owner

An owner run company in Tomball, not a branch of a national chain. You will meet the people you work for.

A typical week.

Early starts, because concrete pours at first light. Two pours on a good day. Home at night, because our bases are where our work is. The big plant pours run nights and weekends and are staffed as such. Can we say operators are home every night? Answer

Training and certification.

Training and certification are explained on the first call.

Paid training on our equipment for CDL holders. ACPA operator safety training and certification exam. Is Star an ACPA member? Does Star pay for operator certification? Answer

The iron.

The average boom in the fleet is under four years old. More than 110 new boom pumps since 2014, replaced every four to five years. You will not be fighting a tired machine.

What we need from you.

  • Class A or B CDL with no air brake restriction, and a current DOT medical card.
  • A driving record you are not embarrassed by.
  • Time on a boom, or the will to start as an oiler and earn one.
  • The sense to walk the site before you drop the outriggers.

Who you work for.

An owner who runs the company, a dispatcher and our own shop in Tomball. Not a branch of a national chain. Who should we name on the site, with a photo? And can two or three operators give a one line quote? Answer

Rather talk?

The shop in Tomball answers (281) 357-1555. Ask for whoever is hiring operators. Who calls back applicants who speak Spanish? Answer

Operators on the crew

Two or three short quotes from S.T.A.R. operators with name, years and boom size. Who should we name on the site, with a photo? And can two or three operators give a one line quote? Answer

Questions operators ask

Do I need a Class A?
No. A truck mounted boom pump is a single vehicle, so a Texas Class B CDL is enough, with no air brake restriction and a current DOT medical card. Class A only matters if you will tow a line pump or a placing boom trailer. No tanker or hazmat endorsement.
I have a CDL but have never run a pump.
Apply for the oiler to operator path. You start on a crew, learn setup, line and cleanout on our equipment, and move to your own unit when you are ready. The terms are explained on the first call.
What about rain days?
The honest answer from every pump company is that concrete does not pour in a storm. How we handle slow days for our operators is explained on the first call, in numbers, not slogans. Overtime, per diem on out of town jobs, paid time off, rain day pay: what can we post? Answer
