My overall experience with Stevens Transport was very unpleasent at best.

It started out with the bus ride from FL. to Dallas which took 26 hours. When I arrived there everything I had been told to lure me out there was a lie, as most drivers are aware, this is common place in the industry.

After going through my first week, what they refer to as orientation 1 I was assigned to a trainer. This trainer said that he would get me through their "8,000 miles of retraining" that they felt I needed. I am a driver of 15 plus years experience. My first week out on the road with the trainer showed me that the trainer needed retraining and as well, needed anger management classes. This trainer consistently would tailgate both truck trailer and automobiles at a dangerously close proximately, leaving no reaction time available to stop. He as well was so busy playing with his cd player he once tried to drive us off a mountain. While I was driving at one point, someone in front of us was going too slow, as I was passing the vehicle he had half his body hanging out the passenger side, screaming at the car next to us. I should have snapped the wheel to the left and dropped him out the window, and kept on going.

Before my training began, I was put on a medical hold due to the fact that I have a scar from heart surgery from when I was 5 years of age. This didn't sit well with their physician, that informed me that most kids who had surgery on their hearts didn't survive (although clearly I am alive) They sent me to a heart specialist, because apparently my regular physician, and the fact that they could hear my heart, wasn't good enough. Then they made me pay the bill!!

I shouldn't forget that their training was "suppose" to be only 6 weeks, had I stayed it would have been 11 weeks. Also the money I was told I would be paid before I left my home state changed drastically when I got out there.

Just be aware that should you go to Stevens Transport for work, make sure you have records of every truck you've ever driven, all your medical records from birth, and please make sure that if they put you in truck # 7977...run...run fast!!! Just stay away from this driver!he will get you killed!!!!!.

You allege 15yrs. of experience and you allow yourself to go through that? With a substandard company such as Stevens? Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this picture? You can color me incredulous! I can't believe any thinking person would do that.

Hey man, you're right there, but I'm a family man, and there are no jobs here where I live, I was trying to save my home.
Do you know of any decent companies hiring?

I got my CDL thru Stevens in 2000 your trainer sounded like my first one I had there. My trainer was always angry and he rearly let me drive. I requested a new trainer which I got after the first week. Stevens also sent me to the doctor because of my Asthma which they knew about and the doctor approved me during the pre-hire. I ended up paying the $50.00 bill.

....and im glad I didnt. Its there lost I guess. I just cant deal with incompetent people. The way I see it, if the recruiter seems like a dummy, then im pretty sure they were hired by one lol.
