Stevens Transport - Dallas, Tx.

12 years old?? You make me feel like an old man! It seems like yesterday when I climbed aboard that airplane and headed to Dallas.

 

I just wanted to thank you all for posting your thoughts here. You just saved me a lot of grief if I had signed up with Stevens Transport!

How does that saying go? "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is." In my case, had I not been informed I would have made the same mistake as so many others. I really believe now that no job should ever cost you money.

I still plan on becoming a 'Trucker'. I'm going to look around and find a good school to get my class A license and than pound the pavement like everyone else does looking for a good company.

Again, thanks to this forum and the people who have posted their thoughts here.

dude, i hope you find that dream truckin company yer lookin for because
iam real happy with stevens i started oct 1st 2008 and iam driving a 2008\KW t2000 and ive made more money in the last 2 months then any job
i have ever had i got 20,000 miles in less than two months and even at .26 an hour ive done good u do the math. I just want u 2 know that we
dont need all the cry babys you have been reading on this site most of the ether didnt cut it or couldnt handle this type of job this is the most disorganized bisness in the world. The life stye is something to get used to
it takes tough skin to do this job all these guy comin straight from mommys house to any truck driving company will be shocked in many ways its nothing to easy about this job so "good luck dude"am gone!!

 

You should not let people make your decision for you stevens is one of the fastest growing companys in the refer bisness and is now getting even more fraight with hasmat devision growing every day do some more reserch before you make a informed decision i joined this site before i went to dallas and most of the stuff these guys say are way off.
the training is the best in the biz no dout that goes a long way later on in your career people no this.

 

im glad to hear stevens is getting miles. i was recently offered a raise at my current retail job to stay but i turned it down. trucking is something that i have always wanted to do. i talked to stevens last month and am scheduled to start training april 13th. i am very excited to do something in life that i think i will really like.

 

Well good luck to y'all period. A few weeks ago I've talked to an O/O who's doesn't drive for Stevens. He said he had 4 loads last month so I'm happy with Stevens.
I was 2 days from my final and they already sent me a pre-plan. 1600 miles.
I'm so convinced that they can give me the miles that I did what I thought I'll never do. I've switched to Alliance.
I'm sure every1 knows that's Steven's leasing program.
Nobody pushed me to do it. I just went talking to many drivers and then did the math.
At .85/mile, why not?
Provided I'll need to keep running w/o hometime for a couple more mnths but I didn't go to do OTR to be home every weekend.

 

To be honest with you $0.85 a mile is not alot at all. If they covered any repair costs it would be another story.

 

Well I have just finished my 5 weeks on the road with a trainer. After getting the weekend home with my family I am flying to Dallas to finish orientation 2. I have had none of the horror stories reported on here happen to me or the truck I was on. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity so far.

 

thats good! how was the training? was the training hard? was the cdl written test hard? i start training on the 13th. ive been reading over the cdl book and there is a lot in the book to know. i hope i pass it all and cant wait to start training!

 

i will tell you that the lease plan at stevens is a big responsibilaty
you do have to fix the truck but its 90% under warrenty, and you pay at avg, $1.19 a gal for fuel so if you drive the truck right you could actually
make money with the fuel surcharge?? its a bisness so you must act like it.
I just went alliance my self and i know i will make more money then the average new truck driver, because i will make it happen.
So good luck yall.
