1. You get picked up at the bus station or airport in Dallas by a Steven's shuttle. They will drop you off a one of the speediest and dirtiest hotels in Texas. Bring a towel and some toilet paper. Those hotels don't want to give any to the Steven's drivers. And plan accordingly to fend for yourself for breakfast. No place I stayed had anything to eat. If you're lucky, you'll get to stay at the Motel 6 not far from Steven's. it has the most food options within walking distance. 2. You'll be picked up every morning by a shuttle and carted to the yard. On your first day, Stevens will do a deceptive move. They'll introduce you to all of the yard trainers that will help you. And they will have each one say how much they earned last calender year. You will hear $100,000 - $150,000. What they DON'T say is that those drivers make that money because they are also trainers AND they are leasing or buying their truck. And that big number doesn't account for those expenses, which add up quickly, including fuel. More on that later. 3. The instruction will be in class room and on the yard. No complaints there. You can be as involved or not involved as you want to be. 4. If you're overweight, you will have to deal with the cpap. They will provide it, but you will have to pay in installments. 5. You will be assigned a training partner. I was assigned 2 of them. (The first took me on with the understanding he was taking a vacation in 10 days from picking me up. Both of them sucked. Never wanted to help me learn to back. Very irritable and impatient. They're probably not all like that. But mine were. 6. You'll never clearly be told who your direct support is back in Dallas while you're on the road. We literally had 2 different people in Dallas calling and yelling different information at us while at a customer yard in NJ. 7. When you get your hours (240 if I remember correctly), you'll be told that you can be dropped in your home town when you're there next. Only problem is, Stevens nor your trainer care about you getting back home. Especially the trainer, he's getting paid for your miles you're driver. You are not. But it will be dangled in front of you that if you drive for free, it'll get you home faster. I heard stories of guys being with trainers an extra 2 or 3 weeks after they completed their required hours. This wasn't an issue for me because I had my trainer drop me off with at the nearest airport within an hour of getting my 240 hours. 8. After your home break, you'll be required to make your way back to Dallas for post orientation and more training. You will then be assigned a truck. Here's the kicker, you are low on the priority list to get your own truck if you aren't leasing or buying a truck. I met guys in the hotel who had been waiting for weeks for Stevens to issue them an available truck. 9. Also, they talk about running about 2,000 miles a week. That sounds good. But those drivers are usually the ones who are leasing or buying a truck. If you choose to just be a driver of one of their trucks, you will not get the long hauls that make good money. The the contract lease drivers sometimes struggle to make their lease payment. I room with a driver one night who was literally crying I'm tears because of how underwater he was with his truck payments. 10. None of this is to say don't go there. Friends of mine have went to similar companies like Swift or Werner and the stories are similar. It WILL make you tough. You have to fight for your self. Don't be intimidated by your trainer or their dispatch to feel stupid. Insist on backing up training. They'll treat you like shit if you let them. The only time my 2nd trainer spoke nice to me was when I told him to drop me off at the next exit, haha. Good luck.
As big as Strvens I'd you'd think they would have trucks ready for drivers n technically leasing on or buying the truck shouldn't crap to do with waiting on a truck ever of you finish your required hours or getting call Stevens n n mention things to their attention in a nice way or they will walk all over you I'd tell of no truck send me n some other drivers to the nearest truck dealership n we would gladly pick-up some trucks for the company
Stevens Transport giving look long loads to lease or owner op is playing favorites n that don't work with me most companies will gladly give company drivers 2500 3000 miles weekly why not this company I know this does run to Ameri cold on Manchester PA n last time u saw Stevens it wasn't a lease truck

@@tonyjones6948 I’m going to orientation tomorrow, if you want a hazmat endorsement they just started promoting one. So you can get it through Stevens. The only downside is you have to haul milk.
@@tonyjones6948hell yeah! I passed my pre-trip/in cab/brake test/and maneuvers. Have to retake my drive test 😢 on 6/17 and then I’ll be in Dallas on the 23rd(?) Maybe I’ll catch you there!
I agree Stevens Transport is no company you want to drive for been there done that. Like that guy said they have messed up a lot of drivers dreams with their BS. Be very careful of driving for Stevens Transport
@@CoachDusty why you sitting here lying to these people? I remember who you are you didn’t want to roommate with us because you wanted a white roommate dam liar
Piss test. Don't go to stevens transport. Good training, but the pay is bad. It's not the worst ,but it's not enough to pay your bill either. The front office will talk to you like trash.
Also want to tell you to study pre trip NOW. Starting today they made it mandatory to say the whole thing to pass. Look up “Steven’s pre trip” and you’ll find one by truckerdude Brent
Yeah I've been studying my ass off. Already have my CLP. Got that 2 weeks ago. Spoke to recruiter yesterday and she cleared up about parking close to my home. Been watching a lot of your videos and trucker dudes as well. Stay safe out there. Maybe we'll cross paths one day.

@@CoachDusty why you sitting here lying to these people? I remember who you are you didn’t want to roommate with us because you wanted a white roommate dam liar

How long are you in driver training after orientation?also how long total driver training before you get your truck? Thx
Is it true they don't accept diabetics? I saw something like that on the recruitment email. Thanks
Hey, I remember seeing this when getting my medical card. They do no want anyone that have diabetes. You can look it up if they do in your state.
No sleep apnea no diabetes. They are strict. No high blood pressure
What kind of drug test
Piss test. Don't go to stevens transport. Good training, but the pay is bad. It's not the worst ,but it's not enough to pay your bill either. The front office will talk to you like trash.
You test any drugs the local police have confiscated.
Want a joke
Part time comedian

Wbu?
We on the same path my bro
Hey good info. Question what are the company benefits as far as 401K and medical
Yes you can open a 401k and they have full health insurance coverage that’s optional.
Are you allowed to drive trucks home on your off time? Or do you gotta park it at a specific spot? Starting with Stevens June 10th
You get a load close to your house, then park at a spot they tell you (unless you’re leasing or buying) then you can take home time.
Also want to tell you to study pre trip NOW. Starting today they made it mandatory to say the whole thing to pass. Look up “Steven’s pre trip” and you’ll find one by truckerdude Brent
Yeah I've been studying my ass off. Already have my CLP. Got that 2 weeks ago. Spoke to recruiter yesterday and she cleared up about parking close to my home. Been watching a lot of your videos and trucker dudes as well. Stay safe out there. Maybe we'll cross paths one day.
Depends on how long your driveway is.
