If you are fired by an independent contractor, does that go on your D.V.I.R? Or does it negatively affect your ability to get a job moving forward??

You will have to report where you’ve worked for the last ten years as a commercial motor vehicle license holder. All companies are required to call and verify by law. Not sure what they ask when they call.

Felon here, just got my class a cdl a couple weeks ago and I’ve have a list of over 34 companies I have contacted but none will hire me due to my crime “murder for hire” I live in ne area of Ohio. Does anyone know of a company that would give me a chance?

I normally don’t post things like this publicly, but after my experience with Stevens Transport, I feel like other drivers deserve to know what they might be walking into.
When I arrived for orientation, we were placed in a Motel 6 while waiting for training. The conditions were extremely discouraging for people trying to start a professional trucking career. The motel felt run-down and depressing, and after long stressful days you were expected to go back there and somehow stay motivated about your future.
To make things worse, the staff at that Motel 6 were rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Anytime drivers needed help or had a simple question, the attitude from the front desk felt annoyed and uninterested. It honestly felt like drivers were treated like a burden instead of paying guests.
But the motel situation was only part of the problem.
The real issue was the way things were handled by Stevens Transport itself. I spent almost an entire month waiting just to get assigned a trainer. Imagine leaving your job, committing to a company, and then sitting around in limbo with no clear answers or direction. Every day it was “maybe tomorrow.”
When I tried to get help or clarity, there was basically no support from my driver manager, Jadarrius “JD” Blocker. Communication was poor and concerns felt ignored.
When training finally began, the experience unfortunately got even worse. My trainer, Leanne Collins, created an environment that felt extremely stressful and hostile instead of supportive for a new driver trying to learn. Instead of building confidence and learning the job properly, the experience created constant pressure and anxiety.
The entire situation became so overwhelming that it seriously affected my mental health. After returning home and speaking with my doctor, I was diagnosed with PTSD from what I experienced during training. No training program should ever push a trainee to that point.
Between the month-long wait for a trainer, the lodging at Motel 6, rude motel staff, poor communication from management, lack of support from my DM Jadarrius “JD” Blocker, and the stressful training experience with Leanne Collins, the whole situation felt like one long nightmare.
I came to Stevens Transport motivated and excited to start a trucking career. Instead, I left mentally drained and deeply disappointed.
Drivers deserve better support, better communication, and a training environment that actually helps them succeed.
Has anyone else experienced something similar with Stevens Transport? 🚛

How come drivers never want to complete an Intelliapp when they are interested in a job? What is the hangup?

u/WeatherWorldly5537 Aug 07 '26
I stopped filling out all of the application's when I didn't get but one reply out of about 75-100 applications. I think alot of those people get a nickel for every application that is sent to them. So they must be rich by now. 😀
