Stevens Transport Aviary . . cont'

Hit me up if you see me on the yard tomorrow.

 

Will do....

 

On an unrelated note, I said earlier that I found out my truck was out of service. Well I went to the shop, and they said the Alliance shop put it out of service and they couldn't see why. Well they've turned it into a company truck and they can't clear it because they don't know what's wrong with it. Just give me a KW this is a sign!!

 

When Jack went back to company, the shop gave him a new Freightliner that had been an alliance reject. They said they couldnt figure out why it was getting poor mpg. We had it for 3 months and never could figure her out. We always knew when we were overweight tho. She liked too heavy.

 

Quiet around here.....well on a good note I was able to get off the yard today finally after a week and get my solo career rolling. Its been an interesting journey so far and just wanted to say thanks to all of those on here that have been so helpful along the way and will continue to be into the future.---J

 

Now is when it gets fun. Good Luck and enjoy the ride!

 

I would like some help with some items of concern for me. I am waiting to here back from Stevens if I have been accepted, they told me Friday that I was tentatively hired but I am waiting to find out, mean while I ran across this blog about Stevens and aside from a few people who seem unhappy most like the company. That being said I noticed in 2010 Corporal_Clegg posted about sleep apnea, I have this problem I have been using a CPAP for over 15 years and I am quite happy with it, I sleep great, you said something along the lines that you had to get a five day print out from your machine should I get that just before I leaven and take it with me, and should I tell the Stevens Recruiter that I have apnea? They never asked me in the interview about this. I am a former high school teacher, but I have always wanted to drive long haul my father did it, and my grandfather, and quite frankly I love to drive. My children are full grown and my wife wants to come with me, I was told by the recruiter that is fine after my 90 days solo are up. Other than the apnea I have no medical issues to speak off do you see them turning me around and sending me back? I hate to waste their time and mine, and I have another company that has offered me training and a job, but a friend of mine who drives told me Stevens is the best place to get training and work a few years for. I would appreciate any help you can give such as the apnea print out, and any other papers I need to bring as well. Have a great day and thanks for any info.

 

My experience so far, I filled out tha online application. A recuriter called within 2 hrs, asked a few questions, I told her I was ready to go, She passed me on to a supervisor who did a phone interview. While that was going on she was doing somewhat of a background check on me ( I believe a more thorough one is done during orientation). She asked me when I wanted to start, I gave her a date, she confirmed it. She then emailed me the long-form application, told me to fax it in and call her the following morning. This I did, when I called they asked for my social, apparently everything looked good to them, and told me I was good to go.

About sleep apnea, from what I've read in this thread, and particularly its predecessor, it should not be a problem. I think you take them the reading of the days before you leave for orientation/training.

 

Thanks for letting me know, I was asked all the questions and had the phone interview, and she said I was informally hired what ever that means but I was not given a long form application, although it was Friday and I am sure people wanted to get home. I just hate making the other company wait for an answer they offered me the training and job already, I hate to be that guy.

 

Did she give you a firm date? They also sent me 2 packets; both had the long-form app. If they haven't given you a firm date, you'd best get on the horn. It seemed to go really fast to me, but I just figured that where I'm from had something to do with that.
