There is a lot of misinformation in this review. First, you cannot get your CDL and be a Solo Driver within a month at Stevens Transport. Our shortest contracted training facility takes three weeks to graduate and prepare you to take your CDL test. Then, you are invited back into the office for a three-day orientation and assigned to a Driver Trainer. With your driver trainer, you will have to drive all 5 regions of the United States and a set number of miles in order to graduate. The amount of time spent with a Driver Manager fluctuates, but on average our students graduate after 6 weeks or more. We do not garnish our employee’s paychecks for repairs to company equipment. In fact, we do not have as large problem with repairs as our competitors since the oldest truck in our fleet is a 2014. There are times in which you will have money taken out of your check, but that is only when you have been given an advance, or participated in school sponsorship or a tuition share program to help you pay for schooling before you have your CDL. If you are concerned about what is being taken out of your paycheck, I encourage you to speak with either your Driver Manager or your Driver Councilor so that the situation can be addressed!

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.
