Stevens Transport A year in review

You can do a lot worse than Stevens! Stevens is great to start out and even still good if you want to lease and or train. Go with Stevens and get a solid two years in and then make up your mind as to what you want to do with your career.
I can vouch for the OP, he is not a recruiter and seems like a great guy. Don't throw stones at others just because you couldn't hack it.

 

Been reading the various posts in this tread with great interest. I am currently retired from a job of 30 years and looking to becoming a truck driver as I enjoy driving. I plan to attend a driving school on my own in Louisiana and hope to become employed with Stevens. Once the schooling is complete and employed with Stevens, will I be routed to Dallas for further driving training or is there an alternative location (perhaps Houston) for this purpose.

 

To TLeaHeart,
Thanks for the quick reply and keep those post coming. PS- How hard it would be for getting home time in Louisiana with Stevens as an OTR driver? I generally would like returning home every three to four weeks.

 

Again thanks TLeaHeart for the fast reply. Home for me is Lafayette, La.

 

They have several things on the 10 corridor in LA. Walmart, there's something else in Roberts, and there is always the hot repower spot in Hammond, la at the petro. You won't have many problems getting home.

 

Thanks for the info DUJO. I took time out to speak to a couple of drivers at the TA stop in Lafayette. Both were Stevens drivers who were real courteous in answering questions from a potential newbie. Nothing is perfect in a career (my last 30 years is proof of that) but with an empty nest and boredom and a love for driving, I believe I am catching white line fever.

 

Anybody from Stevens check this thread regularly

 

Any trainers from Stevens come on here?
