Pros

Training was ok, seemed to care

Cons

After training, nobody cared, all the placards on the wall "You're success is my goal" were pure retoric, and hype. Hell, they wouldn't return my calls, "Why can't I get dispatched? How can i make this whole thing work for me?" Had absolutely no control. Couldn't get dispatched. Sitting still 3 - 4 days between every load. Would call dispatch and be told I have 4 or 5 other trucks in line ahead of me, have to.wait my turn. After home time in Colo Spgs, sent to meat patch in Kansas, and there would be 15 Stevens Trucks there all waiting for loads. No drop and hook. Promised 48K 1st year, and up to 76K by 3rd year. I made 19K. Wife said "Come home, you're spending more at the truck stops to eat, than you're sending home for the mortgage" . Don't do it. They talk a good game at the seminar, but it didn't play out as hoped for. .

Thanks for sharing your story. Would love to take a look into this if you are open to reaching back out to us and giving us more insight into your pain points during your time with us. Communication is something that comes from both ends of the Qualcomm, and we regret to have failed on our side. However, in our defense, each driver is assigned multiple contacts. If you are unable to reach one, try another. Again, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our processes.

Pros

You get to see the country

Cons

Bad communication, unrealistic expectations, lying recruiters, poor driver management, loopholes to get out of paying you for anything, safety rules go too far and prevent you from properly driving, some safety rules actually make it more unsafe to drive the truck, pay is not accurate, no real opportunities to make it home if you dont live near a drop zone.
