    I am in school in Michigan and im thinking about going to stevens. Alot of the bad reviews i see are about there students. Im not going to there school and i understand that im going to have to suck it up as a newbe. I mean are they really that bad? and if they are who should i go with? I consider myself resonably smart guy with a clean record and good work history and im not 25 and dying to get home to my new girlfriend. I dont mind being out on the road, Ive spent the last year living out of a cargo van Expediting so how much worse can it be? Atleast i will have a nice truck to live in!!!!:biggrin_25523: Can anyone give some good news or advice?

    First let me say that I am a driver with Stevens.
    I started as all new drivers do, except I had quite a few years experience before going there. Since I had been out of the industry for more than two years, I had to start over again, including a 'refresher' course.
    So I began where all new prospects begin with Stevens.
    I have found them to be honest, forthright in dealings and to follow thru in everything they promised.
    All starter companies are dealing with every kind of person under the sun that think they want to be a truck driver, and those that decide to go elsewhere end up blaming the company they started with.
    I started as a company driver, became a lease operator, and just this past week expressed my option to buy my lease truck and become an owner operator.
    Because of Stevens honesty and integrity in the first two and half years I have been there, I have leased my self to them as an O/O.
    They have a great training program, a method and opportunity to progress and a good starting point, even if you decide to go elsewhere at a later date.
     
    MacAttack and GSWx Thank this.
