Stevens Conyers Ga Training

If you want an objective, unbiased opinion, I would check another forum. Try the Good Trucking Company and Bad Trucking Company threads.

 

An objective unbiased opinion is likely not going to be found anywhere on this board. People either had good experiences or bad experiences and that is going to color their opinions.

As with most companies there is good and bad, but you are going to have to sift through the replies you get. The truth will be in there somewhere.

My experience has been mainly positive. There have been some trying moments to he sure, but overall a good experience.

 

No, those would be objective, experienced opinions. A biased opinion might come from a corporate employee posting on a Stevens-specific board like this one. You don't go knocking on Stevens' door,asking for and expecting an objective opinion towards their company. Of course they'll tell you it's the best thing since sliced bread.

 

No, sir. I'm not implying you're with Stevens. I'm saying he is on a board whose sole subject is Stevens Transport. And yes, corporate employees can and do post on their respective threads. It had nothing to do with paranoia. It does have to do with being a shrewd consumer of information.

 

Yes, sir. Certainly shop around for the best possible fit for yourself. Many drivers think that they have to go over the road fresh out of school. I, too, thought this was the case until my friend, Vanhoogy, recently completed training and hired on immediately with Old Dominion. He now has a home daily/weekends position making an excellent wage right out of school. Of course, if you want to go OTR, it wouldn't be your cup of tea, but for him it works great since he can now be with his wife and grandchildren as regularly as any 9-5'er. Also, if you get the opportunity at some point in your career, definitely try open deck frieght! I've been at it for a little over a year now and I've fallen in love. I've recently purchased my own flat and am in it for the long haul. I definitely encourage you to pull a few different types of trailers over the course of your career.

Good luck, and keep an attitude of learning. There are a lot of old hands that will appreciate it and be willing to share what they know

 

Those opinions are still biased... An opinion by its very nature has a bias built into it. Good or bad, you will hear peoples opinions, but it is naive to think it is not biased.
