OTR Driver - OTR Driver Stevens Transport Employee Review

The first steps into this industry are always the biggest, and adapting to the industry can take a little time. We do limit the number of hours a trainer-trainee team can drive more severely than DOT regulations require in the first couple of weeks for the safety of that team. The trainer is constantly working even when he is not driving because many times the trainee is brand new and will need coaching. Therefore, they cannot drive as an experienced team would. We also provide Training Councilor’s to each new driver while they are in training, and the rules are clearly explained. A person who has only been with the company two months is still in our on the job training program and paid weekly while we train you, not by the mile. You were almost there! We will NEVER require a driver who is tired to continue to drive. Stevens Transport Is known industry wide for our high focus on safety, and that record stands for itself. If you were told not to move the truck, you were most likely completely out of drivable hours and for you to continue to drive would have been illegal and dangerous. We are sorry that you had a poor experience and wish you the very best for the future!
