Driver Safety Tip of the Week from Terrence Burgess, Stevens Transport Safety Supervisor
Statistics show that 9% of all accidents in the United States are due to unsafe lane changes and caused 6,000 deaths and 35,000 injuries each year (DOT.gov).
One of the best ways to avoid these occurrences is by reducing the number of lane changes you make. The greatest tool you have as a driver to help avoid unnecessary lane changes is by planning your trip and only changing lanes when necessary.

Trucking Song: Asphalt Cowboy - Jason Aldean Today's truckers have a lot in common with our Cowboy ancestors. The rough, grueling lifestyle of wrangling hauls isn't for the faint of heart. The solitude of the open trail is a kin to the now, open road. It speaks to the freedom to do as you please. You don’t really hear that many songs about trucking nowadays. The heyday for trucking songs seemed to be the 70s, when everyone wanted to write a song, create a movie or chatter on the CB radio. There are precious few in music today keeping an eye on truck drivers. So, today we are gonna fire up a song from Jason Aldean, this is Asphalt Cowboy.

Driver Spotlight: Crystal Donaldson
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Crystal Donaldson is current a driver, contractor, and on the road to becoming a driver trainer at Stevens Transport.
Crystal began her driving career in April of 2020 when she enrolled in CDL training classes with Stevens Transport. Drawn in by the longer length of the training, she was impressed with the company’s dedication to their drivers, trainers, and students’ career opportunities, naming it the “best all-around training program” from start to finish.
Now that she has experience on the road, Crystal is looking forward to becoming a trainer for future truckers. She also has aspirations to start a secondary business with her own fleet. While Crystal has several goals she hopes to accomplish in her trucking career, she is grateful for the flexibility at Stevens Transport that allows her to reach these goals.
As a woman in the trucking industry, Crystal admits that things aren’t always easy. She has experienced negativity from others who don’t believe women belong in the field and aren’t afraid to show it through words and actions. Though it is frustrating and difficult at times, Crystal advises to other women, “Don’t let that stop you from being great.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISBaxeQi20A

Driver Spotlight - Ismael RubioIsmael Rubio discuss his role at Stevens Transport as a shop driver, what got him into trucking, and the joys of occasionally having his wife and son ride with him over his 12 years as an over the road truck driver.
Ismael, a member of the Stevens Transport family since 2010, came to the trucking industry looking for a career that would allow him to travel the country. Having now traveled to all 48 states, Ismael was able to make a great living and do the traveling he desired, all while getting to experience it with his family too!
Now working as a shop driver, Ismael wears several hats, such as road-testing equipment and picking up the new trucks to add to the premier Stevens Transport fleet. “It is an exciting role for me, my little niche of the industry, that allows me to be home more often with my children,” said Ismael.
Stevens Transport is proud to have Ismael, and his family, as members of the Stevens Transport family. We are extremely thankful for Ismael’s dedication to his career with Stevens for over a decade.
