"Do You Qualify?" Alliance Leasing Responds
"Do You Qualify?" If you have been a Stevens Transport solo driver for at least six months you may be eligible for the lease program. Based on your monthly miles, customer service record, and work history at Stevens Transport, you may qualify to take that big step toward owning your own business. Can you run the miles necessary to make this business profitable for you? Take a good hard look at your career and personal goals before making a final decision. It's not simply about knowing how to drive, but also knowing what drives a business. Learning to manage your money is crucial to your success. Keeping track of your costs and learning where you can reduce spending is essential. Currently Stevens offers a "Business 101" course held every Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. Various facets of owning your own business are discussed and include a panel of individuals to represent the shop, operations, payroll, and a visiting CPA that discusses taxes and business management. Being an owner operator means being totally independent. Know your responsibilities. Are you ready? Not sure? Stevens' Owner Operator and Alliance Division has the capabilities to run "dual books" for you _ to show you what you have made as a company driver and what your potential earnings would have been as a lease operator. It could be a real eye opener! You are welcome to stop in the recruiting office for more information or call 1-800-366-0167.

Chris Blessing reaches his one year anniversary with Alliance, see page 9 for complete story and more information on the "Spring into Alliance" special offer!
I.B.P. Receives "Chairman's Award"

On March 29, 1999 Mr. Steven Aaron, Chairman, and Mr. Mike Richey, Executive Vice President of Stevens Transport, presented the "Chairman's Award" to Mr. Ken Rose, Executive Vice President, and Mr. Dick Uhl, Director of Carrier Relations of I.B.P. for the calendar year nineteen ninety-nine. The "Chairman's Award" is reserved for those customers that meet a very specific criteria established by Stevens Transport's management group. According to Mr. Aaron, "the criteria not only encompasses the normal day to day activity exchanged between a shipper and a transportation company but in fact places strong emphasis on all factors involved with a true 'partnership'. I.B.P. has met or exceeded all of the criteria set forth in our 'Chairman's Award' Program. We are honored to be associated with such a dynamic and caring partner."
