The start of a career with Stevens Transport

Hello everyone,

As I read the posts here I see a lot that has to do with someone starting out from day 1. I thought I would share my beginnings with who ever was looking to go with Stevens.

I have 2 days until I report to Day 1 of my 17 days of training. Can't wait. I did exactly what I was told I should do before going which was get all my tests done. I finished all 5 tests and wont have to waste my Wednesday evenings or Saturdays to study. I will have more time on the course. Recruiters called me twice a week to make sure everything was good and I was on track and to see if I had any questions. Good thing too because I didn't realize you needed work boots to work around the trucks. Also didn't know if they would have direct deposit which is a plus.

Right now my family live in Palatka, Florida while Im here in Dallas. I will be gone for the 17 days of training and with luck I will be out another 5 weeks with a trainer and 3 weeks after that as a Dumb and Dumber. Looking forward to getting this done. I wont have anything to write until after Day1 on Monday. If anyone has any questions about the hiring phase I will try and answer the best I can.

 

Thank you, I am also restarting my trucking career. I drove for only a few years back in 99-00. Then when to the Army, just got out last year. Good luck to you Q

 

Thank Hellraiser
