Hey All,
I'm at the Roadmaster school in Columbus and the recruiter from Stevens was here yesterday. He made Stevens sound like God's Gift to Trucking.
Anyone have any experience with them?
Thanks!!! -Willy

All recruiters can make their company sound like gods gift to truckers...
Stevens is a training company first and foremost.. They will put you through the wringer more than once, treat you like a number, or letters, your driver code is letters, they could care less about your personal needs, or if you have a head on your shoulders.
You will go through three days of paper work, and "classes", then maybe they will hire you and you will make $50 per day while training...being used as a log book by a lease operator so he can make his obligations to the company. This lasts for 5 weeks or more. Then you come back for 5 more days of "classes", and are paired up with another student for 21 days. Refered to lovingly as the dumb and dumber stage.
Then, if you have put up with the constant calling in, the constant Qualcom messages, and all the restrictions and bull crap you have put up with, then you will go solo at 26 cents a mile, and still be treated like a 2nd grader that can not read a map, or find an interstate.
all there trucks are governed at 62 now.
Out of my orientation class of 62 people, I know of 6 people who are now solo. Only 40-45 people were put on payroll, and by Orientation 2, the second week of classes, there were 12.
From a Grad one driver, still putting up with the bull, but looking else where -
I would stay away from them. Find someone else.

I'll pass this info along to my fellow classmates. If anyone else has any insight, it would be much appreciated!

Hey what can you tell us about the roadmaster school is it everything they make it out to be or what? I had one of there recruiters buggin the crap out of me trying to get me to come but when they said 6 grand I told them where they could shove it!

There Trucks look good..but the other guys are right you will be a # You will see NY a lot and you can get better then 26 cents a mile.
Good luck with whatever company you go with. -
After you do your training with Steven's and drive for about 8 mo's total you can go lease operator if you think your ready and they think so too. I was in contact with a guy who did just that a month ago and he's so busy he don't have time to call.
They run all refers. Good look'n trucks.
Hope this helped. It should have.
