My Son Fed Up With Stevens

What area of Florida?

 

You will get MUCH BETTER suggestions to your query -- if you will provide a working FL zip code....

Don’t sound to me this kid is ever going to be happy. Let the kid be an adult and handle his own affairs. This saga with your kid is beginning to play like a reboot of Everybody Loves Raymond.

 

Where is your kid to ask questions?

I agree. Hand-holding in this business in any form needs to stop.

 

Stevens Transport is one of the better starter companies. Yeah, he as two years experience, but still, depends on if his domicile address is below or above Interstate 4.

Haines City, Florida terminal.
No NYC runs.

 

Wrong info, layovers, detention, equipment breakdowns, etc… all part of trucking. It’s called suck it up sally. You have to put your big dog pants on, if you want to hang with the big dogs.

In other words, about the only thing he’s going to change is the color of the truck. There is no rainbow at the end of a freight haulers tunnel.

 

Your son has to be aware of what he is compensated for prior to signing on with any company. No pay for layover or detention, keep on walking

My last employer was horrible for maintenance to the point I had a spare assigned truck but they did compensate me for any delays including road closures, breakdowns, loading etc
They all claim top maintenance program so only talking with other drivers will reveal the truth

 

South of I - 4?

2 years experience with Stevens?

Your son may well be happier pulling a totally different type of trailer -- & thus, working with a totally different type of clientele.

Have him fill out a job application with Indian River Transport -- & consider switching over to food-grade tanker work:

Indian River Transport is based mainly out of Winter Haven, FL -- with a fairly new terminal also up in Cordele, Ga....right off of the interstate.

There's also a whole Forum thread here on Indian River....done mostly by Indian River drivers....they seem pretty happy over there:
