Any Drivers For Stevens Transport Here?
Topic 18967 | Page 1
This should help: Stevens Transport
Good luck!
Thanks for the info!
I don't work for Stevens but I see their trucks all the time. They seem to run all late model equipment (within few years old), similar to most large carriers. You can fit a mini-fridge, microwave and flatscreen tv in just about every OTR truck (with sleeper). As for the wifi, I have no idea. As for waiting to be loaded/unloaded with a reefer , there certainly are times in which you may be sitting for awhile (anywhere from 20 min - a day or more on rare occasions), this is something drivers from all companies may face, unless 100% drop/hook. Even then, the shipper may not always have trailer ready upon arrival.
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.

Hey guys! Ray here again. Today I am curious to see if anyone here has driven for Stevens Transport. They are the company I am going to attempt to work for. With that being said, I would like to ask a couple questions!
------The company says they pride themselves on having the finest trucks in the industry. Is this true? I also read that the trucks have built in wifi. If true, Is the Wifi in the trucks any good?
--------How does the company treat its drivers? I went to Indeed.com and the reviews were mixed. Most of the bad reviews tend to come from people who were expecting to be home more than twice a month, so its hard to tell if the reviews aren't slightly biased.
--------The pamplet I am reading for them says the trucks have a place for a microwave, minifridge, and an HDTV. Does the truck have to be running to power all that, Or is it run by a built in generator?
-------Is it true that 90% of your loads will be Reefers? Is it true that when dropping reefers, That you sometimes have to wait several hours for the trailer to be unloaded? (This is not a bad thing for me, I will have a way to keep myself entertained.)
Sorry for so many questions. I tried to format them the best I could. THis website base doesn't seem to have much in the way of text editing tools...
Feel free to give me honest opinions about Stevens Transport.
