    Been lurking on the boards for a while and seen a LOT of information, so decided to go ahead and sign up.

    I spent most of 2013 on the road with Stevens (my first company AND first mistake lol), was suckered into their fleece/lease program and got stuck with a bad truck. After three months of $0 or less settlements, I packed up and went home. Went back to working at a radio station, but I'm tired of the boss's antics and I can see the writing on the wall, if you know what I mean.

    I'm looking at a few companies and would love to get input on those, as well as share my experience with leasing and with Stevens.

    Currently my leader is Shaffer; but Maverick, PTL, and a couple of others are still on the table atm.

    Looking forward to everything 2015 has to offer!

    P.S.: How do you thank someone for a post??

    Directly above the "reply to thread" button.

    I hate hearing about these fleece leases........sorry you had to go through this.
    The majority of members in the forum have a lot to say about them, mostly negative experiences.

    I like maverick - I think they're based out of little rock ak near a pilot. Good outfit. What is your total experience level?

    They are - HQ is right next to I-40, passed it a hundred times during my 8 months with Stevens...all I have so far and I STILL want to be in this business. Stevens almost ruined me as far as trucking. Almost...
