Stevens Transport Scam Artists Ripping Off Truckers Dallas, Texas
Thinking about working for Stevens Transport? Don't!!! I worked for these professional scam artists for 2 years and it's the worst mistake I have made in the trucking industry. They recruit new trainees for their truck driving school in Dallas,etc. and shaft you for about $6K while they have Uncle Sam paying for the schooling. Nice Scam, very profitable. After school, they pay you $350/Wk during training. After that they apply a tremendous amount of pressure to lease a truck from them. Even Bigger Scam, even more profitable!! Under their lease you end up with a truck payment of $600 to $800 a week, not a month, a week! After they screw you for insurance, maintenance,escrow, Qualcom,etc; you end up paying about $4000 a month for a crappy, beat-up, very poorly maintained 3 year old truck. You can buy the exact same model truck, decently maintained for $30K anywhere(T2000 KW) and pay under $1000 a month.
Also, They do not report your lease to the Credit Bureaus correctly. They only report to 1 bureau, not all 3( Legal but they lie to you about it) and they do not report how much your high lease balance was. They only report your high credit balance as 1 monthly payment. This will screw up your credit badly and they do it on purpose to prevent you from finding a job with a reputable trucking company or purchasing a truck on your own. Stevens claims its legal because they have a "walk away lease". After you walk away they shaft you for $3,000 in maintenance fees so they steal all your money in escrow. Also they put negative information on your DAC and will not remove derogatory entries. You end up making a ton of money for Stevens, but hardly any money for yourself. Please, do not go work for Stevens; there are a lot of reputable trucking companies out there that will hire you and not rip you off.

Out of all the working class folks that i personally met at Stevens Transport, not one of them are Employed at Stevens Transport due to the Dis-Honest Management.
The Lease Purchase Agreement is a Con Job, and Stevens Transport will not give you a Contract For Lease Agreement to have your Personnal Attorney review? Also let it be known it is Federal Law to Cancel a Contract anywhere in the U.S.A. on belief or Proof of Fraud. That is why Stevens Transport will not allow a Lease Contract to leave the Offices of Stevens Transport? My Complaint about Stevens Transport , is going to go very deep.......! Please Read On.
Stevens Transport never Recieved a penny from me or my Friends I had met there! .....= myself and my Brother and his wife was riding the local Bus to go to a Local Walmart, when my Brother noticed a man that was looking at his wife (she is a real pretty Lady), we get to Walmart,get off the Bus,go into the front entrance of Walmart and my Brother holds the door for his wife,myself and another man,and we are walking towards the Electronics (cameras,TVs ect..)when my Brother tells me about this guy and points at him and tells me ( "I think that Guy is Following us")! So I asked my Brother , what makes you think that.? He tells me he noticed that Guy on the Bus and thought he was eye-ballin his Wife, and I told my Brother (everyone looks at your wife cause she Pretty;!) So we had left Walmart and walked over to the Bookstore and "Low and Behold" ,I noticed that same Guy behind us as we were in the Book Store! So I nudged my Brother and Pointed at the Guy following us; My Brother tells his Wife and asked her if she new that Guy;? she says no. So..my Brother wants to see what this Guy is doing? To make a really long and funny situation short!me and my Brother figured out he was following me YES ,ME I could not believe it! Me and my Brother split up and his wife was still shopping,and we jumped on the Bus and went into the Highrises in lower Downtown area and this Guy was surely on our path following us? This Guy was 6"ft 2 and a scrony 170 to 180 lbs,my Brother calls me on my cell and says to me( lets set this guy up and corner him in a dark street!) I agreed. My Brother is 6 ft--me 6ft--230 lbs out of shape, but love a good laugh.....I walk down to this area of Small Businesses that look like they are closed and walk thru the breeze-way area where it would be easy to hide from this Guy. Sure enough here this comes around the Corner and I jumped out from this con-cave Door area and my Brother comes from across the street -Tackles this Guy -I jump on my Brother and this Guy is Freakin -out-yellin-screamin-started to cry..... Me and Bro are holdin this Guy when I noticed a Small pocket size weapon...oh no I thought he was a Cop,my Bro grabbed his Wallet in the scuffle and I asked the Guy why he was following us --He said he wasnt---my bro smacked him and called him a liar! So my Brother is Twistin this Guys Adams-Apple and He drops to the Pavement.
Me and Brother started walkin away and the guy yells at us and wants his wallet back... I tell him to tell me why he was following me.... we started looking thru his wallet with my Brother and all the sudden i find a concealed weapons permit and a business card from ....Stevens Transport... This Guy is a so called "BOUNTYHUNTER" or BILL COLLECTOR....For Stevens Transport I couldnt believe it and the Guy admitted to it! He told me the whole story about Stevens Transport--Stevens Transport hires Undercover Bill Collectors AKA=STOCKERS
So if you have ever dealt with Stevens Transport----and u never paid them a "penny" they are STOCKING YOU.
I have never had anybody follow me since, but im not 100% positive.?
Nice Try Stevens Transport! could be anywhere USA
