Our CDL training program is the most comprehensive in the industry for new drivers. It’s not only about turning out people who can drive a truck. It’s about setting you up for success and sending out safe, responsible, well prepared drivers onto the adventure of a lifetime in their new career.

OUR PARTNER TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS

Stevens Driving Academy of Texas, LP has also partnered with local truck driving schools to open satellite facilities in strategic locations throughout the United States. We have partnered with the top training facilities in the country to ensure that our drivers receive an education that meets and/or exceeds our high standards. 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!

Stevens Transport also offers anyone who attends an outside CDL academy up to $7500 in tuition reimbursement to be paid out to the driver themselves or to their lender as long as they are working for us.

TRAIN FOR YOUR TENNESSEE CLASS A CDL

Tennessee Truck Driving School (TTDS) is one of Stevens Transport’s partners in Knoxville, TN, providing top notch recruiting and training to new drivers in the Tennessee area. The partnership that Stevens Transport has with TTDS allows new drivers the opportunity to train with their employer while earning their Commercial Drivers License (CDL). Once on the road, graduates of this program earn up to $50,000 in the first year and $70,000 in the third year.

Training at Knoxville’s leading CDL training program will put you on the path to success because of the extra lengths that trainers go to ensure student success. In addition to helping students obtain their CDL, certified professional trainers teach new drivers industry best practices and ensure that they are the best and safest drivers on the road. Students at TTDS receive the time and attention that they need to be successful in the three-week program. Classroom learning is the first step in the CDL process. Each Monday, a new class period starts at TTDS with classes being held Monday through Friday over the three-week period.

Once the classroom portion has been completed, Stevens will pay for transportation to headquarters in Dallas, TX where a required orientation will be held. After orientation has been successfully completed, drivers become official employees of Stevens Transport and are added to the driver payroll.

At this point, over-the-road (OTR) training takes students to the next level of expertise. New drivers are paired with a driver mentor and trainer, receiving 1-on-1 training. This process requires that students complete 240 hours behind the wheel over a five to six-week period. The individual training aspect encompasses driving and navigating all five regions of the U.S. while learning to haul time-sensitive and temperature-controlled commodities. During this time, drivers earn a weekly salary.

Upon completion of this training, drivers are assigned to their own equipment and compensation will be made on a per mile basis. First year drivers have an average annual income of $50,000 and third year drivers have an average annual income of $70,000. At this point, drivers can go in a number of directions with their careers including:

Dedicated Drivers

Regional Drivers

Tanker Drivers

Independent Contractors

Owners/Operators
