I'm currently working with Stevens Transport. I didn't go to their school.
Once you get your CDL orientation will fall on that following Sunday. Orientation consist of three days, in which you will complete a drug test, physical, and plenty of paperwork. Once everything checks out ok you will spend about two days on skills test, pre trip and road test. Be prepared for a few long days 6am to 10pm on what is. called the hill. Once you pass skills and road test you will be assigned a trainer, which can take a few days depending on smoking or non smoking preference. You will go out with your trainer for a total of 240 hours driving ours. The hours are broking down into 6 levels, which also includes a written test for each level. Training takes about six weeks on average to complete. Once training is done you will be brought back to the yard for grad classes and issued a truck. After 90 days solo they will gradute you and give you a nicer truck. They will entice you to lease, but I wouldn't recommend it personally to a rookie driver.
Stevens is a great training company and I can't say much bad about the company as a whole. I've been with the company for about a year and get treated quite well.
Best of luck with your new career.
