Stevens Transport
Ripoff Misrepresentation of income potential and method of calculation of payment

I have been driving for Stevens Transport for 6 months solo.

I have never been late on a load by my own fault.

1) I was told in recruiting that Stevens Drivers average 3,000- 3,200 miles a week. A typical week is more like 2,400. I finished this last week @ 1,400. What they don't tell you is that you will sit and wait to get loaded at their shippers, without detention pay for extend periods. I have waited over 24 hrs on many occasions and up to 40 hrs waiting in a dirt lot at a slaughterhouse. What else they don't say is that your tractor will stay red tagged on the yard. It took me 9 days to roll last time.

2) I had a list of questions for recruiting before I signed. The question of concern: What book do you calculate paid miles on? Answer; Rand MCNally Milemaker. I did not find out the truth until I was out of school and out on the road they use the Household Movers Guide.in a nut shell the most inaccurate book out there. I never get any closer than 5% and have been as high as 12%. My Microsoft program gets me the shortest route and is within 1%. This adds up, 5% over a 9,000 mile month (not 11,000 as stated in there recruiting brochure) is 450 x. 27 is $121.50
450 miles / 60mph is 7.5 hrs of free driving. Now my big problem is not the book, it is the lie!

3) I have been shorted miles and drop pay. I caught them on 2 occasions doing the following. Dispatch comes across with multiple drops. Drop A, B and C. The final destination is listed as drop C. But then your appointment times come across and they are A, C then B. So you have to go up to C then back down to B.
This happened to me 2 times. This last time, I had to go 130 miles north make a drop and come back down to make my final. Keep in mind the paid miles were based on A
