Once you get cleared and you are waiting for your truck to be serviced then you start getting paid for time one the yard. But you have to get cleared first. I have pulled in on the yard on a Friday night and was cleared by noon Saturday. I never had any issues that ever held me up. If one were to have an accident or get a ticket then yes you would be there longer for the retraining. But all and all there is no reason for you to be there a couple days if your truck doesnt need work done. But you have to hussle.. Sign in one place if there is a line go try and get something else cleared then go back and check on the status of the line. If you need a class other than vdpd that can get done quikly.. If u need a safety talk and it is after hours you go see night safety and they can give it to ya at the dispatch window.

But just as you are stating the facts as thay have concerned you so have i..and if you look back at outher people on this thred even the 1s that were trying to stand up for stevens about 90% have said the same thing that i have..So what we all Kicked it in the Drivers Lounge??? and congratz on sticking it out there for 6 years..i did my 1 year and got out!! so i do no what its like there ..i know YOU DONT GET PAYED ON THAT YARD!..i know thay dont pay you brake down pay until your truck is in the shop for over 24 hours...I know that when i hit that gate i had to go see the fuel dep. the complince dep. the meat dep.the safety dep.and do a work shop..then after all that i had to show the shop that my sheet was all dun b4 thay would work on my truck!! I know that stevens does not pay well!!! and also has a higher turn over then most outher trucking outfits...I know that most people that start there dont make it there a year ..THERE is a REASON FOR THAT!!! and its not because we did not hussle.. Do you Ever think.. wonder why we "stevens" dont have meney drivers that come here from outher Biger trucking outfits like Knight,Creet,Jb hunt,May..MCT..ect ect ect????If you have been there 6 years you might check out Creet you will make more money and thay will treet you beter.my frend did after being at stevens 11 years and now he almost doubled what he takes home from stevens...I did not even post here until i worked for 2 outher trucking outfits Knight and now JB HUNT..Because i wanted to see what the difference was..and give a real no BS assessment.Misfit022 said: ↑Look you can get as disgruntled as you wish. I am stating the facts as they concerned me. You were the one originally complaining... I was stating how I did it to get in and out. You can try and insult me and call me an odd ball. but yes I am an odd ball so that statement do3s not affect me. O came to the yard evry 90 to 100days. The difference between me and most people is I am a hussler and i do what I gotta do to get the job done. I know how they like to accidentally not pay and I check my pay sheet. If somthing is not on there that is owed to me I will make necessary phone calls if I have to and I let them know I am not affraid to take it to the owner. I have gotten treated decently at Stevens. I have been with them going on 6yrs now. They know me and they know I dont put up with excuses. They pay me to do a job I expect them to do their jobs too. I am glad you found a place that makes you happier... Not every company is for every person.Click to expand...

lol save yr money and lots of luck!!!Imanoob said: ↑Lots of back-and-forth on this thread.
I'm going with Stevens because I believe that the negative posts here are from people that just don't have what it takes to make it in the real world of trucking. Stevens seems to be a "straight-up" good company and I have heard nothing but absolutely positive things from everyone that has an educated opinion.Click to expand...Last edited by a moderator: Sep 9, 2012

If you have nothing more to add to a thread other than picking at someones spelling or grammar then keep quiet and don't bother posting.

I work with new hires and rehires now. I see a lot of drivers comming in from other companies and a lot of drivers who left for greener pastures but thrn came back. Stevens is a training company you dont get a lot of experienced drivers because they know this. there is a high turn over also for that reason. I am not defending Stevens... It does have its problems.. But name one company that doesn't.
