    Nice try with BS you can't back up.

    I posted a link and it's .43 in their eco truck, maybe open the link this time
    http://www.primeinc.com/paid-apprenticeship-cdl-training

    Stevens is well known to be cheap

    "The pay sucks. I ran 2000-2500 miles a week and bring in between 500-600 per week sometimes less."
    ""Very Low pay so Money should not be the reason you work for this company" (in 4 reviews)"

    http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Stevens-Transport-Reviews-E3621.htm

    We can go on and on here with terrible Stevens pay but supposedly there was a recent pay increase and it's .28-.29 I've seen all over.

    I did open the link, and the eco truck is not given to students. They get the 39cpm. Stevens raised the pay to 33 cpm. Both prime and stevens a less than 1 year driver will make less than $1000 a week.

    I had no troubles making more than that during my time at stevens, after the first 6 months... but then I was a hustler, did not like to sit, and always made on time deliveries, even in NYC....

    I know you have a hard on for stevens, so be it. They are a training company, that is how they make their money. Nobody forces anyone to go there. Stevens does spend the time to train, not just throw a driver into a team situation, like so many others do.

    And for a person that lives in denver, they can stay at home during the school phase, and save some money.

    Freight, you base everything upon pay, but that is not the entire picture for many people.

    I can, but won't post just as many complaints about prime, and their pay, and lack of miles, and getting drivers home....

    Hatred for stevens blinds you.

    Post a source for that .33 at Stevens

    Prime has it as an option to go in an eco truck, it's all on their site.
    Not that Prime is great but at least they're not cheap.

    Stevens business model is to run a driver mill for cheap drivers.
    Not cool in my book.
    But hey we all got to start somewhere.

    That is primes business model also.
    .39 cpm driving 2000 miles a week, equals 780 a week gross, and that is what prime drivers average. Now with all that down time, expenses on the road increase, just due to boredom.

    .33 driving 2500 miles a week equals 825 a week gross. Stevens average. Still too much down time for me.

    and do you KNOW what an ECO truck is? Smallest sleeper possible, no storage, no human comfort, small fuel tanks, all so they can load the trailer with 50,000lbs of freight.

    still no sources to that .33
    and Prime driver can earn .43 if they want to go in a smaller truck

    All I know is everywhere I look I see drivers saying they made no money at Stevens.
    Prime drivers do okay.

    An eco truck sucks no doubt but it's an option to earn more money.

    If it makes you feel better I still think Stevens is better than CR England and Werner lol.

    Not everywhere, I keep telling you I made good money with them for 5 years, could drive the truck and trailer home to central wyoming, something no other company I talked to would allow, and that includes prime, CR England, Werner, Crete/shaffer, take 10 days off, with no complaints, Had a Kenworth T2000 for the first year, then a T660 for the next 4... with a tripak apu, lots of storage space, and I ran solo the entire time.

    Stevens was a great fit for my circumstances.

    Define good money?

    I'm not trolling I'd really like to know.
    Nobody I've talked to or seen posted said they ever made good money there.
    Just entering in Stevens into a search engine shows people endlessly saying how they earned trash at Stevens.

    I just talked to a recruiter, they start at .28/cpm with a .01 cent raise every three months for rookies.
