Stevens Transport aviary

It's alive...just not well.
They lost a major contract and pulled back to reorganize.
They got a couple new contracts and are still working.

The problem with that division is ownership does not understand the dynamics of the oil fields and are trying to run it like the refer division.
Drivers are paid well in the oil field and true to Stevens SOP they think they can pay low. What they found out is that they can't retain drivers and end up with drivers that are inexperienced. This leads to service failures and the customers won't put up with that.
So that's the story for now.

 

thats basically what ive heard my old trainer went there and said he was getting less pay then a trainee per week. i finally got out of mobile and into texas my repower fell through and now i have new dates for my drops one is the 1st and the other an hr away is the 3rd. really starting to hate doing 34s. glad im about to take hometime lol

 

I ended up deciding to park at the Colton Yard. Will head to Sysco in the AM. Thanks for the responses.

Met a Stevens driver here tonight that stalks the forum lol. I know your reading this dude !! You should say hello

 

Yesterday, Stevens posted an ad on the DFW craigslist: ATTENTION!! EXPERIENCED TANKER DRIVERS >>> MAKE UP TO $65K!! (JACKSBORO)

along with a couple of their weekly "start your driving career at stevens" job postings

 

That's $19 per hour, 65 hours per week. However, no one gets 19. They get 17 to start. No overtime (oil field workers and drivers are exempt from the OT rules)

 

I think jacksboro pays less that San Antonio...... ?

 

Once a Stevens company driver reaches the requirements to be a driver trainer, and trains at least 8 drivers over the year, what would be a practical expected salary? over 65K?

 

That's San Antonio. Or was, anyway. Unless there's been changes in the last few weeks, Stevens is about $3-5/hr under the competition

 

Graduated from Stevens academy today for the second time. They still have 15 or so people from Wednesdays orientation class to dispatch and my class added another 25, so I'm not sure if I'll get off the yard tomorrow. If not, I'll be hanging at Americas worst for the weekend.

 

Welcome back Fozzy.
You'll get out. Don't worry.
We can't bear to ignore you. (just couldn't resist a lousy pun this morning!)
