I feel so sorry for these new drivers coming into the industry. They have no idea that trucking has completely changed in just 2 years and they are being used.
I feel sorry for any body fkn with this company. This company is a CON Game. Stay away from this place. They train everybody that works for them that don't drive to run that Con Game on you. Working for this company is like stepping in a pile of Dog Sht with a new pair of sneakers on. Especially don't go under the training contract with these muthaffucus. Trust me you'll want to walk away from these muthaffucus when the BS starts and not owe them.
When I started in 1978 green as green could be United Van Lines gave me a cab over Pete and pointed me towards California in January. Chauffeur permit back then. Got grandfathered in for CDL. That was46 years ago, still out here. Praise Jesus.
Steven Transport that’s where I started 14 years I did 13 months with them and left to become an owner operator 2 million plus safe miles and still going strong 🙏
Funny how people still listen to these paid advertisers. I worked for Stevens for 7 months. Started off company and had back to back 34hrs getting one meat load. Then when I mentioned I needed a load they would say that it’s slow, while my trainer told me he was hustling the whole time. Then I went to contractor thinking that I would be prioritized since I have a truck note(since that’s basically what they tell you in the business classes you take with them). Realizing that the contractor route is the worst scam to exist in the trucking industry. You pay for a truck that won’t be yours. And then going out taking loads, the loads were completely garbage miles. I was told by many DMs that the most I’ll make is 2,500 miles per week if I’m lucky. Basically, $1,500 per week when you can make that anywhere else without the stress of paying a truck. This company utter garbage.
@@Haulin_Collyn412 yeah man it’s awesome now. I work for Prime for now hauling tanks and percentage pay… 71% of the load. But only gonna roll for another 7 months and then I’m going buy my own truck and haul hazmat tankers. Stevens gave me my training and my trainer and I are close friends to this day. Great video also.
Oh the mountains oh so much fun. On the east coast and the west Coast. But I definitely like the Midwest is something about it. I can't put my finger on it but there's something about it beautiful. I only have three months looking to add more months with a good company.
I'm sorry you feel that way ! It's not for everyone that's for sure. If it doesn't work out for your son I wish him nothing but the best on his trucking journey 🙏🏾
I recently came across a good video on video on backing that I used who are specific type of dock. That has two steel either side of the bay door Which took me for a loop. And you had to basically get it in there. With very little margin forever. I'll let you want one of your doors on the trailer ripped off. That was an experience I never had before. Some of you probably will come across that. Advanced backing is what I watched episode 2 Or Three both videos are good. Oh, and before I forget the way stations. Those are Fun to do. And when you are coming up to a waste station, 2 miles away. Get in the right lane, stay in it. Don't leave that lane for anything. Because you can get booted. And these truckers won't let you over. I don't know because I haven't gotten the answer if they have a Bypass is bypass for the weigh Station. But either way, stay in the data to write. Follow the signs and you will be fine. They don't tell you about the mountains and steep grade But when you get out there, don't be a panicking. What's your knowledge test? Tells you how to go about using your brakes on the hills stab breaking Jake brakes what gear to be in when Climbing the hill . Oh you're gonna like the jake Breaks. Even though they got sprayed, this is unfreightliner. That's the one I was trained on not with Stevens, another company. The first two were a nice and button, but if they added Level to the Jake break. It probably would go backwards. That's my theory. But Franklin is definitely do have a really strong breaking power. On those Jake Breaks. And call and climbing those hills. It's all about how you start. Provide it that you don't have anyone in front of you. Which is always the case. And when climbing, what's your temperature And your gauge is while you're climbing just to be safe. I actually think the scaryes place I learned was in Virginia mountains. The road cut out and walls up on either side of the road and vary. Sketchy speeds with thirty nine thousand pounds that was definitely an experience I won't forget. And suddenly I found myself remembering what to do stab Breaking jake break drop the gears Because that trailer was pushing. And some say Donner's pass is scary. But I guess you haven't driven through the mountains in Virginia. With curves And you have to keep an eye on the trailer. Make sure it don't go into the desk. You're hitting a car or whatever Lane that you are in. At all the sun, you don't know nothing about the j break until you get to these mountains. But the information you didn't know about will start coming in. Really quick. Don't forget your knowledge test. Don't forget what your trainers are telling. You do not forget any of that. And listen to your trainers because it does come down how the outcome is gonna be. I was at another school. I saw that first-hand the difference that a trainer can make for you. Or you have a doubt with a trainer that you'r With and you don't feel like you learned anything. Take a look at the other trainers in the yard. See what they're doing different I didn't have that opportunity until it was too late. The only problem I had was the Pre trip and learning the whole Truck not part of it. But I definitely did get it with a second school. The airbreak's kind of got me on that one. And remember to use the wheel Chock. Before you do your pressure. Or unless you are on level ground and the truck isn't moving. But you're going to be asked to go out there and put one Because that's required. To say even if you are on level ground and the truck isn't moving, you're required to say that. And take the key out of the ignition when you get out of the truck to do that. And that is part of the pre trip . I don't know if you're studying the pre-trip And use their verbage if they Have one. Pms,or cbd or cfc. I messed up on the verbage . But I just couldn't get the words out for some weird reason. Knew the parts. But the verbage got me.
Yeah, they gotta keep their eye on the momentum. And all thand don't let that trailer push them. I had That moment when the engine doesn't sound like it's doing anythink. Keep an eye on that speed ometer. Get familiar with the jake break manual mode all of that. Because you don't want to be stuck wondering how to slow this thing down. And burning up the Breaks going down the steep hill.
There a great training company learned a lot there . They used to do training on a live yard there and take you around the dfw to make deliveries. Not going to lie I learned a lot and have applied my training out in the road thanks to there training and many other carriers that I've learned to apply to do safe maneuver and good judgment for safely maneuver. Shout out to Sarge if he still there. And Kipp if he's there as well.
Hello .Mr I ask you .are you accept new drivers from outside America? I have license cdl Egyptian. 5years experience in driving..full time working I can work? How I can join with Steven company transportation?
Team driving is not for me. I tried 12000 miles. The problem was. I couldn't sleep with somebody driving no matter how hard or how tired I was. It just wasn't working. And instead of being a number or a reason for an accident. I decided that I had do not be a risk. Not only my life I had to worry about. It was somebody else's and the equipment just nope. That was my experience. Everybody has a different one. Some people can sleep. I couldn't so give it a shot, find out. Everybody experience with team driving is different. I just wanna make that clear if you can do it great but but it's not gonna be peaches and cream the whole entire time. But it definitely is Experience nonetheless.
Back in my day all manual back in 2011 no automatic if you had restrictions you wer turt away especially ca,NY,NJ that hill assist no good. All T2000 ,kw660 with the studio slpr,an 680 . No Frtl no volvo no international. Although international had a better pull smother ride especially in steep hills. There great for training only not going to make 6fig income only training. Really good. You planning to get that cdl take them a try or maybe theyll might not try you . Most companies due to there training hire stevens drivers 1st hand due to there vigorous training before getting your own trck . They may put you through the ruffin some trainers ,but if you focus and take in all the teaching you need to get you stsrted you will be a Good drvr. What you put in is what you get out. Good luck to those coming into this industry iis hard tough industry, but it has taught me personally to be humble an many other.
English not needed. I had two guys in my class that didn't speak enough English to even talk to us for more than a single word or two, and they were HORRIBLE driving. But they got special treatment and help and were passed. Stevens gets over $2,000 from a federal program for every student they pass and gets a license.
And for you, new drivers pre-trip study that religiously. You could be good at backing but you're not good on that pre trip You're not gonna pass. Remember everything Look at it left to Right. But I believe it or not. That's how most people feel. I was one of those. But if I can get it, you can get it..
I worked for a year for Stevens stay away stay far away from Stevens the pay is so low and miles so high I was on the road for 4 months and they promised me I'd be home by 1 month
They're a driver mill. I'm sure they make you pay for your cdl and they make a couple grand off you there. Make you run shit miles for shit pay and they make big profit off of you for the couple of months the average driver works there. And then you quit and they start the entire process over for the next sucker. Or you can do what this guy did and lease a truck off of them. Now you make their truck payment for them. Run even harder now because now you have a truck that you have to pay for now. And run even more shit loads and make them even more money.
I was told at my truck driving school by a stevens recruiter that stevens did NOT do hair follicle test....then I did my over the phone interview with a guy in recruiting depth. And this guy told me that I would have to pass a hair test.......WTH????? I was already set up for orientation in Dallas for Jan 14th. I had to cancel that and completely switch trucking companies ALL BECAUSE I WAS TOLD 2 DIFFERENT THINGS BY 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN RECRUITING DEPT!!!!!!!! The recruiters that come to these trucking schools need to make sure they have the correct information and ate telling the students the correct info. I really had my heart set on coming to stevens. 😢😢😢
It's urine test only man, I'm so sorry they told you otherwise. It's always been just a urine test unless they've recently changed it. And I mean super recently. I'm about 99.99% sure it's STILL just a urine test.
@Haulin_Collyn412 ......thanks for the insight. I love your videos. I watch them all the time brother. You stay safe out there,stay making that💰,and keep making those videos my guy. Hopefully I will see u out the someday. I'd like to meet you and talk with you about this industry. I found another company to start my trucking career with. Keep up the good work bro....💪
@allan3405 I appreciate you fam 🙏🏾 really do brother. I definitely will keep up with the videos ! And absolutely if you see me out there, definitely come and introduce yourself, would love to chat. Rubber side down and stay out there also 💯🙏🏾
Well to their defense, I'm sure they've been outside all day in 90-95 degree weather so of course their brains are not going to be fully attentive to detail.
@@joginderkumar7558 I'm simply a driver for them as of right now ! www.stevenstransport.com/careers/truck-driver-jobs/ Check this link out ! It'll take directly to the hiring page for Stevens Transport
Look at these new truck drivers they show no interest. They chatting among their self, swapping bugs away. Listen to their questions , do it have camera how fast does it go really.. I been driving since 1996 still am . I have about 12 more years to go then i retired can't wait cause the roads an all these new drivers getting bad out there.
just another driver mill company. alley docking is not the most important thing. thirty years and have rarely had to do this. this a lot of B S. don't listen to anyone that only has 8 months experience
Whatever it is "you do" safe travels to you good sir. Alley Dock or 90's or 45's is how you park in truck stops.... but you're right I'm a young to it and know nothing 🙏🏾
Shush don’t tell no one but 95% of all back in maneuvers are half a offset if you’re doing an alley dock every single time you back, you’re working way too hard
this generation of so called drivers are a disgrace to the profession. looks very sloppy and dirty. this guy wouldn't be allowed in our office dressed like that. real truck drivers don't wear short pants and dirty tenny shoes and their cap backwards they hire anyone with a drivers license,
😂😂😂... what is he supposed to wear then ... a 3 piece ?... Plus he's been on the road for days You looking he got pants 👖 on... And to be honest with you, I aint never seen a trucker All dressed up, lol clean yes but dressed up no 😅
