Starting at Stevens

Just went over 8500 miles today... just need to finish out the week and I am free of the Jacka$$

 

Way to stick it out so you can reach your goal kmac

 

I went thorugh the Stevens Course in 2003 and it was good. The trainers I had were of a different nature; some good and some bad. Face it; they are not exactly there to be trainers but to get more miles off of you. The student and student drive time was the worst. This guy had the Chicken Hauler Cass Hat, belt buckle, chew and dip and tryign talk with a country accent. His driving was the worst! On the CB and Qualcomm while driving eating, drinking and making more lane changes per mile than a race car driver. He felt obligated to start the truck up when I was doing the precheck in the engine so he can check the Qualcomm. I called dispatch and go me on with a driver heading back to Stevens to get a truck. He already had a speeding ticket and did try to fight me. The driver I went back with was the best. Learned more in 2 days than all of the weeks with the other trainers.
Jus tin any trade there are good and bad new truck drivers and old timers. Some old timers might be great drivers but the worst in people skills. As int he electrical trade those who have all the tools and talk more than work like the Truck Drivers with outlandish dress style and Truck Stop nick nack buyer are not to be taken seriously with their field of work.

 

does stevens watch you pee or do they give you privacy

 

They hand you the cup, and do not watch.

 

do they drug test for the school or is that after you go to orientation

 

Anytime someone starts asking multipule questions about the drug test, tells me they are trying to hide something.

You will be tested, and random tested at any time. Accept that, and be drug free or look else where for a job.
