I am glad that we agree that the training and safety programs are great here at Stevens! Your analysis of pay, however is not correct. You do start out at .30cpm, however we are long haul and have the most miles per dispatch of any company in the nation. You cannot compare the cpm of a long-haul company to that of one doing LTL. You aren’t comparing apples to apples! You will have less stops and time loading and unloading, and more time making money and driving! It seems like you were a little confused on how your pay worked. We DO NOT cheat our drivers out of miles. We pay shortest distance from point A to point B, which is the same way we are paid by our customers. This is industry standard, and you do not get additional pay for taking longer distance routes. You DO NOT get paid 10cpm for empty miles. We pay empty miles at the same rate we pay loaded miles if we are sending you to pick up another load. We are sorry that Stevens was not a good fit for you, and wish you the best for your future!

Pros

- The structure of the building is very strong and would be sufficient during a tornado. - The filtered water hydration stations are handy.

Cons

In this modern‑day allegory of the Eagles’ classic Hotel California, the story begins with the first red flag. Not the waving, crimson‑colored beacon kind, no, it starts with the small pause that makes you question whether something actually happened. Is that really the method? Is that a fax machine? Do people actually hide in the bathrooms? Working there can feel like assembling a puzzle without a box lid, while passerby drop random pieces onto the table, pieces that don’t even belong to your puzzle. As a generationally deep, family‑owned and operated business, the boundaries stretch endlessly, extending even to neighbors of a cousin. Bright eyes dim quickly, office directions are given by changes in carpet patterns, and punctuation is treated as optional. For an industry that deserves appreciation and elevation for the undervalued work of the professional driver, the ownership has no problem taking accolades for miles they’ve never driven, pushing out the changemakers, and clinging to a rinse‑and‑repeat method that mirrors the very definition of insanity.
