CommentThey are what I'll categories as Bonnie and Clyde.I have sent numerous faxes to them disputing claims and disputing the amount owed on the basis of Safety and theft issues from my trainer, to no avail.
Don't deal with Stevens Transport. They are a fraud. They take in 50 new prospective drivers every week, 30 graduate every week and approximately 25 owe them $6,000.00 plus every week. They split $150,000 plus a week harassing people that fell for their lure to financial security through truck driving career.
The so called contract is one sided, and they interpret it as they wish despite the clauses and conditions. Please run like a bat from ***.
Don't deal with Stevens Transport, Dallas.

| 1. Written by Erskin's Blues, on 18-10-2009 13:24 Well, I dare say that you sir are as ignorant as you are arrogant. My education is not in question here really, is it? Absurd. YOU signed a contract. A contract, for those that were unsure, is an agreement between two parties in writing. This agreement assumes that both parties have read and understood the contents of said contract. It seems to me that you have failed on your end. It is clearly stated in the contract that you must be in the employ of Stevens Transport for one year or you MUST pay for the full amount of your training. I've read the contract. While I do feel sorry for you, it seems that you were mistaken in your assumptions. I for one finished training in advance of my expectations. While I no longer work for Stevens, I have since moved on to a better paying company, I stuck it out and with excellent performance and a polished reputation I did well there. You can call into question the level of my intelligence and education, but you don't know me. Frankly, I don't want you to. I am not interested in your phone number, and would recommend that you don't give it out on the internet. That's a reckless endeavor. My only advice to you is to seek a settlement with them or perhaps a payment plan. On the other hand, seriously, you may call them and tell them that you have reconsidered and would like to finish the training that you have paid for. You paid for it, they owe it to you as I see it. Otherwise, I wish you the best and hope that you do well in the future. No hard feelings, and remember ... read the contract next time before you sign it. And if ANYONE rushes you through reading it reconsider signing right then and there. You have the right to read anything you are asked to sign. You are one of many, but if you're going to be a truck driver ... as with any profession (including writing) ... you must pay your dues before you can even start the journey to where you want to be in life. |
| 2. Written by stonley61, on 27-09-2009 07:18 I am glad SKYKING has seen what those asswipes have been hiding. I am still waiting for Adrain Wheeler, the man in charge of Safety to refute my claims that he never answers his phone, nor does he return phone calls. Yet he is in charge of driver safety. By the way, lest I forget, an average 5 year old conducts themselves better than the head of Safety in a multi million dollar company (supposedly) |
| 3. Written by Skyking, on 23-09-2009 12:16 To all the people talking bad about Stevens, its all true. I tried to my mistake of working for stevens as a driver and as a dispatcher. They lie to the driver they lie to the employee. And to the person saying pay up or shut up you got to be from the training department because that was there saying behind close doors. To all new drivers to not fall into the Stevens lies and promises. |

Written by stonley61, on 25-08-2009 23:10 RE: RESPONSE TO ASSWIPE TLH, follow up on comment posted 24-08-2009 19:52 I refuse to shut up, pay up or put up with fraudulent characters and they cannot do jack about my refusal to tow their line. And if you don't like it, you can stay in line with the rest of your fellow peons and debate the issue concerning the bait and switch game of Steven's transport and their hill billy drunks. You scallywags are very comfortable with one liners. I repeat I need an educated person to respond to my call on the perpertrators of fraud in this frustrating economic times to please stop the lies. Buy the way, you sound like one of those Steven's office antelopes. Go get a honest job. |
| 5. Written by TLH, on 24-08-2009 19:52 YOu signed a contract, stating that you would work for one year, or have to pay for the training provided to you. You quit before completing your obligation, and now owe for the training. Your choice, pay up or shut up |
| 6. Written by Stonley61, on 21-08-2009 19:36 Erskin's blues alias goldeneagle or what ever name you would like to be called. Your defence of Steven's Transport, it's fraudulent and misleading practices through this medium is very much off the track like the company you work for. I wonder what you get paid to display your ignorance. Here is your response to an article I wrote on April 18th, 2009: 1. Written by Erskin's Blues, on 21-08-2009 11:29 The arrogance of you ignorance and the speech you use is laughable. I, sir, and one with a college education, and years of experience as a writer ... plus I can use spell-check. In the words of a great great American, "Grow up and stop being such a ***." In plain English, can you please explain your comment in relation to my factual assessment of the company you are trying to promote/portray? Where did you attend college ***-wipe? I will gladly furnish you with my phone # and address. You cannot match me (10 of your type cannot handle me even with half my brain on sleep mode) Your words again: The arrogance of you ignorance and the speech you use is laughable. I, sir, and one with a college education, and years of experience as a writer ... plus I can use spell-check. Do you realy want me to believe that you have a college degree/education asswipe? Did you also refer to yourself as a writer? Here is your earlier responce to my well articulated composition: 4. Written by goldeneagle, on 23-04-2009 12:44 I guess you don't need spell check afterwards. You won't know what to do with it even if it stared at you right in your face like Steven's Transport rips people off. I feel very sorry for you and your ignorance. You cannot match me. By the way, I could write and comprehend better than you as far back as my elementary school days. Please remember that your reply needs be written by someone that can articulate and put meaningful words down on paper. Good luck with your scam. |

| 9. Written by stonley61, on 24-04-2009 12:41 Hey Goldenapple, You must be an agent of fraud otherwise known as Stevens Alliance and Genesis. I don't need to dignify your ignorance by reading meanings to your caricaturic figure of speech. If you have a brain, put your words in writing. I don't back out of a good brain picking debate. By the way, while you are at it, have someone with at least college education put your words down on paper for you. You are going to need such a writer. Let the show begin. Watch out America |
