"The Over the Road (OTR) lifestyle is not for everyone, but Steven's Transport makes it as enjoyable as possible with flexible time off, generous benefits, and the freedom to do your work as you see fit as long as the end customer is serviced satisfactorily. Make no mistake, the hours are long and the work will wear on you but for a company as large as Steven's they do their best to make you feel at ease and a part of the team."
