OUR PARTNER TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS

No matter what part of the country you are from, we have the right training facility for you!
DEDICATION TO CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
Not only have we been training drivers for success for decades, but we also have a commitment to continuous development!
Stevens Transport has just taken the next step and was granted authorization in April 2017 to administer the Commercial Driver License (CDL) Skills Test on behalf of the Department of Public Safety. This authorization allows Stevens Transport to conduct the Third-Party Skills CDL Test. Having the capabilities to conduct the Third Party CDL Test has greatly reduced the wait time for a student to take the Skills test, which means that you could be on the road starting your adventure that much quicker!
