Stan's Inc., Alpena, SD

No way stans would have long term drivers if 6 weeks was the expectation...I call bs .

 

The town of Alpena wouldn't exist without Stans inc. they put a lot of people to work.

That was what was expected of me. That is all.

 

Well I dont and never have worked for stans but I haul plenty of stuff for jack links out of Jersey.
I'm yet until now to run across anybody with a bad word to say about them .

 

Ditto! As I mentioned earlier, this is the first negativity I’ve read.

 

The world would be a boring place if we all thought the same and he has a right to his opinions also .
I'm happy at Morehouse but there's plenty of those that were not .
Takes all kinds .

 

We got plenty of guys that been here for a long time. For good reason to. The longer loads have to be earned over time and honestly it can get boring but doing the dedicated circle always results in a nice check. Add the bonuses with that and I can't complain. I literally no longer worry about miles or if I'm going to make any money. As long as I continue to do long haul it will be with Stan's.

 

Stan's is a small company. No terminals but the hq. I hardly even spoke to any of the other drivers there. Though I did speak with a couple with not so nice things to say. It just is what it is. In the end it's work. I dont believe anything I've said to be damning or unfair. It's all a matter of perspective and opinion.

 

Alpena and Huron both depend on Stans and Jack Links.
Not a lot of OTR companies out in South Dakota to choose from unless you want to move to East River , Sioux Falls or Worthington Mn.
I am from Lead SD now in Wisconsin , South Dakota is a great place to live or run out of and raise a family and no income taxes to boot.
And the governor is a FOX!

 

Yep I'm a native north dakotan and both north and south Dakota are just not good places to get in and out of with a truck under good rates with any regularity.
In 1990 I finally gave up and moved to Omaha.

 

Been running good this start of the year. Been out since 1/1/20 and will stay out until mid March. Currently parked in Hooker, OK on my way to Tracy, CA. Stan's rather have us drive the extra 200 miles than deal with Donner pass in California. Already planned with a load out of Fresno going to Minong, WI. So I'll be busy for a bit.

Going to try to update this more often again to give someone something to read when looking for a new company. I found these helpful in the past so it's only right if I do so. Be safe everyone.
