Stevens Transport aviary

Wow! Who ever said these threads were not entertaining!

 

It was a long time ago.I hired on in San Antonio with four other guys.We took our physicals and back then everyone had to take back X-Rays all that was done in SA.The Stevens recruiter then was passing out bus tickets to Mesquite,TX. for the orientation I refused the bus because I had my pu truck so they gave me 50 bucks for gas and told me to save my receipts.

We all met up the next day at Stevens all of us was pretty wore out from the trip But the safety guy gave us a long drawn out speech about how lucky we all were to be hired by Stevens.Man none of us could care less we just wanted to go to bed.We were all experienced hands this was before the trainee trucker days and we had all heard this BS before and didn't believe it anyway.

So than Mitch started in on me wanting my receipts for gas.I gave him what I had it came up to 45 bucks.So he gets to nit picking about 5 dollars.I said I thought I had another receipt in my pu truck and would have it the next day.

So the next day between Mitch and his office girl I was asked several times for the receipt and I just told em to forget it.Man they squealed like pigs and started apologizing and I said save your breath AMF.

I drove across Dallas over to Grand Prairie where TSMT had a terminal I was road testing for them the same day.Sorry for the long story it a weakness with me.

 

I got that same one and also got a text from Schnieder.

 

I love how people will come in, post about there experience from 21 years ago, about someone who is not even with the company anymore.

Oh well, it is what they experienced with Stevens. Just how relevant is it?

For a non-trucker looking to start trucking, all companies are required by FMSCA to verify your last three years of employment, with NO gaps. Stevens does it with the W-2's. They must have a physical record in your qualification file to hire you.

And for the guy complaining about $5.00, if they had shorted you $5 on your pay check, you would have fought them to get your $5 dollars, so them wanting your receipt for $5 is the same thing, they wanted proof you spent the money.

 

Thank you Smokr, I'll be on the bus tomorrow morning at 7:10 be in Mesquite by 1:00. Getting nervous now Lol, but not backing down.

 

looking to go to school can someone tell me the names of some good compans that wil pay the up front cost like drivers solutions and P A M or is P A M drivers solutions the only ones?

 

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread. I'm not sure if they're a good option for someone living in Tulsa, but for now, I'm going to add them to my short list of companies to train with. Thanks for all the helpful posts.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that we go through Tulsa very often. You'll have plenty of opportunities to stop by the house on your way through.
