I drove for Stevens for 3 years. If I ever drove again it would be for Them. I totally agree with you Emulsified.

do you know how many drivers Stevens has trained? I bet that guy parked next to you at the truck stop started at Stevens Transport.

Training company or not with so many pages of bad stuff why anybody would want to waste any time working there is beyond me. When was the last pay increase for drivers there? Why do they base part of their revenue on government welfare? Until they change their policies NOBODY should waste their time there.

Compare Stevens pay to other companies that train... they all pay the same, and since there are hundreds of people each week lining up at the doors of all the training companies, why should they pay more? Supply of people wanting to be drivers far exceed the need for drivers.

yep 167 pages of bad.....

while the aviary section one has 961 pages, and the current aviary thread has 161 pages of what Stevens is all about.

I can let you know as an X stevens student, that everything BB has said is true. Had I known I would not have gone. The 3 week course is a joke its not CDL training its new hire training for stevens. The 5 weeks with a trainer is hell, no hotel and you have to sleep in the truck with the trainer. imagine 2 grown men living in the space the size of a single occupant bathroom for 5 weeks. Female students get a hotel once a week they have to pay for. I didnt make it to the 3 week with a student part I got fead up with it and quit. but the trucks are governed to 62mph. The pay sucks the crappy handout they give students during the 5 weeks is crazy, and the trainer told me that co drivers make hardly any money stevens favors the lease guys over the co drivers. You are paid by the mile not much compared to other Co's out there. If you refuse a load you sit until they give you another one. Basically co drivers get the leftovers from the lease guys. And you as a driver have to pay for everything, except fuel...lol, before you leave the school on your own you have to have 3 different maps a special lock and load locks for the truck which they charge you for. to get money off the the fuel card that is yours you have to pay atm fees non reimbursible, the list goes on. they nickel and dime you to death. Granted you can save your receipts and right it off at the end of the year on your taxes, but who wants to work all year to get paid at the end of the year. And you will practically never see home again. I have heard they can make it difficult for you to find work. They will lie and put false info on your DAC report, and forget about references. I have my new job thanks to a guy I knew before going to stevens. And they pursue the money vigorously when you quit. It wasnt a week after I got home (which itself was an ordeal, I actually spent 6 weeks with the trainer because they wont take you home or back to dallas. I was suppose to do the 5 weeks go home for a week then do the 3 weeks with student. nope didnt happen and when I asked about going home they told me if I got off the truck I had to find my own way home. So the closet I got to home was Atlanta GA, So I got off the truck walked 2 miles to a truck stop and my awesome Bro in Law drove 10 hours to pick me up and take me home. ) ok back on topic home the collections calls started. Fool on them though, I have had some law classes and did the info research. They will intimidate and harass and lie but thats it. The way I figure it they scare ppl into payin it back. Here are the facts, they will say they can garnish your wages, they cant. They say because its a school loan they can take your federal tax money, they cant. They say they can take your CDL, they cant. The stevens loan is considered a private school loan so it is not applicable to the federal law, it is illegal in most states including TX against wage garnishment, and the CDL is a legal ID document between you and the issuing entity stevens has nothing to do with it. Essentially it ends up as nothing more than an unpaid debt on your credit, yes it hurts your credit and its there for a long time but all they can do is fuss and fume over it. Hell I dont even think they are fool enough to sue anyone, if so then all the things they are doing in the school that is illegal will come to light. thats just my opinion though, the last sentece the rest is personal experience.

I thought this section of the forum was about bad trucking companies.
