Dudley Hutchison

Employed: 10/12/89 Present

I started back in 1989 and have since claimed Stevens ransport as my second home. It was mybrother, Allen Hutchison (Employed 5/27/88 Present), who originally reerred me to Ste-vens. I was a Company Driver or about 1 1/2 years beore I received my rainer Certication in1991. I have been training students ever since. I average 3,500 miles a week and get home every5 weeks or 5 days. I train both male and emale students. You have to have an open mind andbe willing to be taught in order to be successul. I love what I do. Most o all, I enjoy teaching mystudents what I know about the industry. I have run over 2 million miles with Stevens so thatshould tell you, I know a lot! What do I like most about Stevens? I would say two things: Stevensis very- Saety Oriented and their training program speaks or itsel. Secondly, and equally just as

important, I love the people that work here. When ever I come to the yard or even talk to themon the phone, they treat me like a person and not just a number. I am welcomed into the execu-tive oce any time and they know my name. Tats important to me and it says a lot about themas a Company.

Antwon Bracey


I hired directly into the Alliance Lease program, having had prior experience. I had workedor other Carriers (I wont mention any names) but I really liked the 2 year Lease Programthat Stevens oered. Aer completing the lease in March o 2003, I received a bonus check or

$10,050.71 aer which I immediately paid o my debts. Ten I was oered an in-house positionin Operations and ended up relocating my amily rom Columbus, Ohio to Dallas, exas. I amnow a salary employee and get home every night. Stevens has given me opportunities I neverdreamed o, I know that Stevens would always support my decision, and that says a lot.

Oladapo Oyewole


I was born and raised in Arica by my ather who was a transporter. I received both my Bach-elors degree and Masters degree beore moving to the United States. Initially, I looked into othercareer elds but I just could not get rid o my inherited passion or big trucks. I hired on with

Stevens ransport immediately aer graduating rom Georgia Driving Academy because I couldnot wait, I was so excited! What initially attracted me to Stevens was their equipment! Tey havereally nice trucks which is important to me because it really is my second home. Stevens trainingprogram was also great because it gave me the condence I need to run a lot o miles but saely.Personally, I like to stay out 7 weeks at a time. Ten I go home to my wie or 7 days which givesme a solid week to just relax, go on vacation or do whatever I want. I like having that qualityhome time. Sure, I could get home more oen but I would rather have the longer, quality hometime. Tis my wie really loves. What do I like most about Stevens? Absolutely everything aboutthem; their organization, their equipment, their employees, everything! Every-thing about themis superior. I also like the act that they have an accelerated Lease Program because my dream isto become an Owner Operator. I think by joining their Lease Program, it will give me a good eelor what it would be like to be an Owner Operator.
