Stevens Transport aviary

No, Stevens does not allow pets

 

Hello all hope everyone is doing good this morning and are being safe. I have a question I will be starting at Stevens on 01-03-12 for orientation and want some info? From people who works there maybe to let me know how it is. I have seen alot of bad stuff about the company from people who don't work there. All I know is I'm ready to work I have kids to take care. Any info would be great!!!

 

Extended team is after D&D. They were pushing that over 3 years ago too. You will get no more miles than you do during D&D. There is always a wait and a list for a truck. Just part of the operation. End of the year always makes it worse.

Extended teams is paid at 26 per mile for ever mile the truck is dispatched and you each get half. You are also limited to 750 miles per day.

 

You found this thread take some time and read it you will find out what many drivers for stevens have to say both good and bad. Then ask specific questions and you will get answers from the members of the aviary.

 

One word of caution.
If you have small children, OTR trucking may not be a wise choice for you. Sounds good going in, but after a few weeks of taking care of the kids by herself, the spouse can get aggravated. You being gone 5 weeks at a time can cause family strife.

 

Interesting..nobody in my grad class had to wait weeks for a truck. Heck, our trucks were waiting for us!

So you can team for $.125cpm and 375 miles a day, or you can run solo at $.26cpm and run 550 miles a day...hmmm

 

no, you would make $.26cpm and 375 miles a day / or $.125cpm and 750 miles a day.

You split one or the other ... not both.

 

There used to be a truck stop near South of the Border called Porkey's. It was down past the fireworks place on the left. It was still open, but there wasn't much to it anymore, last time I was there in '08. There is a good Mexican place within walking distance. About two blocks back towards the highway on the right. Good luck, hope you find something to do ... or they take it early.

Just so you know. Twin Lakes / Dillon County Country Club is just down the road from South of the Border. I haven't played there, but it's close. It's just down 501/301 (the road SOB is on). Go south to E. Country Club Road and take a right. Closest one I found for you. Was just curious being a golfer myself.

Here's the link.

 

The team rate is 36cpm, and I never said there was a shortage for sure, just said it seems there may be. Purely observation, not fact. I .36cpm at 4000 miles a week is $1440 gross. Split two ways is 720 a week. At .26 solo you would have to run 2800miles to gross the same. I am really not interested in the extended team option I was really just looking for insight.

Thanks for the help guys, Stay Safe. Start OR2 in the morning.
