THANK YOU DRIVERS
Stevens Transport is proud to always go above and beyond to recognize our incredible drivers each and every day, but especially so during National Driver Appreciation Week. Each year, in September, drivers all over the country are celebrated for their hard work and dedication in keeping our nation moving, through various events and activities during National Driver Appreciation Week.
This year, Driver Appreciation Week took place from September 10th until the 16th, where Stevens Transport was proud to host hundreds of drivers at our Dallas, Texas headquarters, and give away thousands of dollars in prizes to our prestigious driving force! Our drivers were thrilled to receive gifts such as tv’s, headsets, gift cards, and apparel throughout the week. We also enjoyed various actives, such as conducting a special, onsite edition of the Stevens Transport Roadside Radio Podcast, where many of our drivers were able to gather around and share their amazing stories with Trucker Tim! We also provided lunch for all of our drivers on the yard and took care of our drivers that couldn’t make it in to celebrate with us. In appreciation of our amazing drivers, members of every department, across our entire company, came together to honor and thank our heroes on the road.
Stevens Transport was proud to bring back our annual office chili cookoff! Our drivers were asked to be the judges, and 24 teams competed to win the title of best overall chili and best team name, plus a year’s worth of bragging rights in the office! Over 100 drivers took part in selecting the best overall chili and team name, and after lots of consideration and eating, our driving force decided on the best of the best!
Drivers were also able to appreciate other events throughout the week, such as our cornhole tournament, daily bingo games with prizes, our driver rodeo competition, and more! Our corporate office was able to show support for our amazing fleet by decorating their doors for Drivers Appreciation Week. Though it led to some fierce competition in voting, the Recruiting Department garnered the most votes to take home first place!
Stevens Transport is proud to celebrate Driver Appreciation Week and the hard working, dedicated drivers that go above and beyond each and every day for our company, and the people of our country!

DRIVER SPOTLIGHT MEET LIANE & RODERICK THOMPSON
Roderick and Liane Thompson, awarded as Stevens Transport's August Team Drivers of the Month. They share a remarkable love story that unfolded on the open road. They initially met at the Lakeland Yard in Florida and quickly formed a connection, which eventually blossomed into love. Liane's role as a trainer frequently took her to Chicago, where Roderick had consistent routes, allowing them to spend more time together. They married the following year and have since become inseparable on the road, working together as a harmonious team.
Their love story is a testament to the power of love and partnership in the trucking industry, where solitude often prevails. Roderick and Liane's ability to complement each other's strengths and work seamlessly as a team has not only earned them recognition but also serves as an inspiration to fellow truckers and romantics alike. Their journey together reminds us that love can be found in unexpected places, even amidst the vast highways of America, and that true partnership can thrive in the most challenging of professions.
