I'm thinking on leaving stevens transport to work for trekker logistics cause they do lease to own and pay by revenue has anyone worked for that company to get more inside on them not much to look up on them ?
Never drove for them, but I did notice when I was running a yard spotter that their drivers liked to drop trailers in the wrong place and skedaddle... Nice looking equipment, though.
I drove for them for almost 5 years. Left in June of this year to go run with a company that has their own load board. I enjoyed working there and it was a hard decision to leave. Here's my two cents worth: PROS: - Excellent equipment. Couple of years ago they bought a lot of new Utility Trailers. Any problems with your tractor or a trailer they will route you back to the Caseyville yard to have the Shop fix it or send you to a service provider out on the road. - Good lanes running the Midwest (IL and IA) down to DFW/North Central Texas then up to Colorado (Denver or Fort Collins or Loveland) then back across to the Midwest. NO East Coast or West Coast. - They keep you running - almost always have a pre-plan for your next load before you deliver your current load. - NEVER pressured to do anything illegal to get a load delivered. They are very safety conscious. - Small company - you are not treated like a number. - Never have to fight for Home Time. I stayed out 3-4 months at a time and would take 12-15 consecutive days off when I took time off. They were fine with that. - 100% no-touch freight ; company paid lumper fees. CONS: - Pay could be better. - More or less forced dispatch although i had an understanding with Fleet Manager there were certain Shippers/Receivers I would not go to. Contact me directly if you have specific questions.
