    Stevens policy, if there is icing on the cake, park it. They will reschedule the load.

    @TLeaHeart What are your insurance costs as a leasee and how does the maintenance repairs or costs work out(cost)? I am thinking of going the Stevens route but i'm still debating if I want to or not. I am a 12 year military veteran and have driven many military trucks like low-boys, HET trucks pulling articulated trailer with a 60 ton M1A1 tank, HEMTT wrecker towing a 5 ton truck with a trailer in tow. I have experience with jake brakes and air brakes and was a master mechanic for 5 years at CMTA in Austin, Texas. This is just a short synopsis of my experience. What advice do you have in regards to Stevens and Alliance? Also I already have a Texas class B cdl. Thanks for any advice you can give.

    Truck insurance is 131.81 per week for the 2010 t660 that I drive.
    Maintenance is set aside as 3 cents per mile. I have not had any major repairs in 2 years. Just normal things, oil, tires. Always have enough in my account to cover the charges. New windshield, rock chips spread into cracks, and new shocks this last time at the yard, and still have over $2000 in my account.

    I don't give advise, just my experience with the company, up to you to draw your own conclusions. My question to anyone think of Alliance, Do you want to see your wife and kids on a regular basis, then don't do it. I am divorced, and kids are grown, so I am happy living where ever the truck and I am at. I do spend time with friends.
