At Stevens Transport, we believe in having fun at work, and after work! Each year, Stevens Transport sponsors the cost of intramural teams for our employees in sports such as softball, volleyball, kickball, and flag football!
This fall, we joined together to form two teams ‘Net Results’ and ‘Hard Hitters’ that recently had the opportunity to face off against one another and earn the ultimate bragging rights in the office! It was a long hard-fought match, but in the end, Net Results took home the victory, and office bragging rights until the two meet again! Win or lose, it is a great opportunity for our employees to be able to spend time together, away from the office, and strengthen their relationships with one another!
Go Team Stevens!
intramural volleyball weight loss journey
Lloyd Thomas woke up one day, and didn’t like what he saw in the mirror. “I had been parking my truck at Planet Fitness for quite some time before I finally made the decision to go inside and start my weight loss journey”, said Lloyd.
Lloyd made the decision to focus on his health when he weighed in at 270lbs. Lloyd is now looking back after one year of hard work and dedication, Lloyd is down nearly100lbs! When asked what steps he took to make this incredible transformation, Lloyd told us that making a change in his diet, cutting carbs, and adding exercise to his daily routine led to his success. Now, having lost over 100lbs, Lloyd is focused on maintaining this new healthy lifestyle, and helping his fellow drivers make the same changes that he did!
Balancing a healthy lifestyle on the road can be difficult, but just like Lloyd, we can all make changes to live healthier lifestyles!
Congratulations, Lloyd!

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD STEVEN L. AARON
The winner of the 2022 Coca-Cola Asset Carrier of the Year goes to…
Stevens Transport!
On August 24, 2022, Todd Aaron, Vice Chairman and Robert Solimani, Vice President of Stevens Transport proudly accepted the Coca-Cola Asset Carrier of the Year Award in Atlanta, Georgia. Stevens Transport was awarded for providing unparalleled service in 2021 during a time of unprecedented freight demand attributed to the global supply chain pandemic. Although this is the third time Coca-Cola has recognized Stevens Transport as their top-performing logistics partner, the 2021 – 2022 cycle offered challenges that required a greater element of service, not seen in prior years as Coca-Cola products were essential to millions of Americans during a challenging economic setting. Coca-Cola has been a key strategic business partner of Stevens Transport for over a decade.
Vice Chairman Todd Aaron states “This recognition required nothing short of a herculean effort and commitment to our much-valued Coca-Cola partnership.” Todd recognizes his dedicated team led by Sales & Procurement Strategist Robert Solimani for their unwavering efforts to support this key partnership. Solimani stated “In a challenging market, execution and proactive communication separated Stevens from the pack”. Above all, Todd and Robert acknowledge their best-in-class driving force that brought their vision of service excellence to fruition. Stevens Transport proudly accepts this prestigious award, and world class service to its partners will remain the #1 business priority.

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, on-site edition, of the Stevens Transport Roadside Radio Podcast, feeding all of our drivers both on and off the yard. In celebration of our amazing drivers, members of every department, across our entire company, came together to honor and thank our heros on the road.
This year, Stevens Transport was proud to bring back our office chili cookoff! Our drivers were asked to be the judges, and 27 teams completed 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!
