Stevens Transport

Today was classroom all day, then out to the track at 5:30. One of my classmates shattered a drive shaft while doing 45 backing. He has a bad habit of dumping the clutch. He is extremely short and can barely reach the pedals. I figured after that my backing into a trailer and making a noise heard over the whole range would be let slide. Poor guy has already failed his road test twice, tomorrow is his last chance, plus they will probably pull him in for another drug test when he gets back from dps. If he fails his road test he will most likely be going home, plus the drive shaft incident will be going on his DAc regardless.

 

WOW, this is a big step from Fed Ex Ground and buying a truck soon and possibly needing a driver. Big dreams come and go easy.........LOL

 

FOZZYBEAR....I think my biggest problem with Stevens was the lack of food. We got free breakfasts at the hotel but we were up for the rest on our own. I imagine things have changed a bit since I was there.
I hope you enjoy your time and good luck on the road.

 

i believe after talkin to my friend who r still stevens lease ops the dot stopped the dumb and dumber.your training has to be completed by a 10 year vet....
with that being said i worked ther for a year and fell into cracks when my dm quit and miles droped alot....was a lease op and went a month with little to no money.i had the im not workin 4 free attitude quit went to prime and hurt my back.prime was alot worse....imho.i would go back 2 stevens if i could ...very safty minded co.
good luck with whoever you choose,alot of it is all in your attitude

 

they will either alredy have somewhere local for you to park or they will find you some where.....even if its a storage place they will pay for it

 

Well we got Lunch and dinner Wednesday and Thursday and lunch today all on the company. Took our finals today and graduated. Officially hired tomorrow, but we still have a couple of hours of driving training to make up. After that it's just waiting around for dispatch to a trainer. Could be flying somewhere, don't know yet.

 

i flew to meet both my trainer fozzy u should try and get jason williams great trainer and the run he does is great to lardeo tx to new york and back

 

I had a trainer who wouldn't let me sleep in the sleeper if you can believe that...needless to say I slept in it anyway. We made it to Great Falls and got into a little fistacuffsmanship at a rest stop. I ended up flying home after that I had had enough.
Steven's seemed like most companies...you get out what you put in so...I didn't put much in and guess what I got out.
I hope it works out for you.

 

the only good thing about stevens is the school bc the company side sux ### big time i was there for 27 days i did not even make it to the 35 days and when i was they were goin to pay me .24 per mile i was like OK so i quit i went to werner and i had to go out with a trainer for 4 weeks then i was on the congra food reefer side and they paid me .32 per mile and i made 3000 every week and was home every weekend so u can move on bc i did #### what am i talkin about i had 8 months exp and got a job payin me .41 per mile but i was real luck to have that exp but i did so if i did it i think anyone can

 

Well, we made up our track time today, then sat around one of the classrooms waiting to be dispatched. My room mate is flying to Houston tomorrow to meet up with his trainer, but I'm here until at least Monday. Not musch else to tell.
