Stevens info

The Stevens veterans will be here to chime in soon I'm sure. Are you going to Dallas school?
Thanks for your military service!

 

If you read the Stevens Transport Aviary Continued you'll get all kinds of info about school in Colorado and company in general.

 

figure more like 2000, to 2500 miles per week in the beginning six months, as you learn how to manage your time, the log book, and how to deal with shippers and receivers. Also need to learn how to make the meat patch your friend, and when to say no politely, and when to say yes I can do that.

And for company drivers they only require 2000 miles avg per week.

Stevens actually using a 9 speed convertable eaton, with a low gear, so it is shifted as an 8 speed. The transmission is quickly upgraded to a 13 speed when they sell the trucks.

and the aviary is a good place to get information, both good and bad.

I am not a current stevens driver, just a former driver who is thankful for the training I got, and the 5 years I was with them, I had more good days than bad. Have to remember that Stevens is a training company, and that includes driver managers, and dispatchers too.

 

I believe the starting rate is now $.28 CPM and as a grad Student I averaged 24-2500 miles a week, that picks up as you prove yourself with on time deliveries and pick ups and you endurance increases.

 

Starting rate is infact .28 with 3 raises in the first 12 months. Yearly raises after. 31 cpm is very much on the lowside for 12 months on the road however their training, safety, and equipment all seem to compensate for this. I'll find out soon enough and will make a thread about my journey in to trucking like so many before me. Best of luck to you! I think Stevens is the right choice for new Truckers!

 

It will be .32 after 12 months as I understood it. 28 to 30 at 6 months, 31 at 9 months and 32 at 12 months

 

I think you are right and I missed the extra cent. Either way would still work for me.
