    Haven't totally changed to Stevens. I am considering them. I know Stevens gets a lot of freight through Columbus. So does Millis with the Miller Brewery in Trenton. I have heard that if there is not a lot of freight going through home you may not get home as much. Stevens also hauls hazmat which I hear pays more. Just checking all avenues.

    Stevens does not pay any extra to haul hazmat, it just gives you more loads available to you.

    Yea...I get thru all the big towns on this route....Lone Pine, Bishop, Hawthorne, Fallup, Burns Junction...just to name a few!
    Sometimes can go for 30 miles and not see another vehicle.
    Of course, that doesn't count SoCal....:biggrin_2555:

    No we do dry freight also.

    Hazmat consists of plastics, cleaning supplies, ingrediants for soda and energy drinks. Soaps, dyes, paint.

    Is it true that if you haul refer that you can get more loads than dry?

    With a refer trailer you can haul both temp controlled loads as well as dry loads.
    With a dry van you can only haul dry freight.

    Thanks Corporal Clegg! Just talked to another Stevens driver who had same advice. To me a load is a load. I have U.S. passport and hazmat so I should do quite well.

    Funny they consider the ingredients to make Coke/Pepsi as hazardous and you need a Hazmat License to haul, yet you can piuckup coke/pepsi in bottles ans cans and haul anywhere without a hazmat...lol
