5 MILLION MILE DRIVERS
Gerald Rhoden
Five million miles. That’s the distance Gerald Rhoden has covered behind the wheel since joining Stevens Transport in November 1998.
Gerald earned his CDL through the Stevens Driving Academy and went on to become an Independent Contractor, a 2022 Driver of the Year, and one of the most respected trainers in company history. 200+ new drivers have learned the road from him, which means his influence stretches a lot further than the miles on his own odometer.
Ask anyone who knows him and the story is the same: Gerald shows up, does the work, and lifts up the people around him. Off the road, he’s a devoted husband, father and friend.
Congratulations on five million miles, Gerald!

Bobby Turner
Bobby Turner remembers when Stevens Transport opened in 1980. He had been a professional driver for nearly a decade and clearly remembers the day he saw the truck that changed his life. “I was already driving, and Stevens was new. I remember wanting the truck they had…it was a Kenworth T600…the Rolls-Royce of trucking”, Mr. Turner recalls. In 1988 Bobby joined Stevens Transport to pursue his dream of driving the most prestigious truck on the road, the Kenworth T600. Little did he know that for the next thirty years, Stevens Transport would become his family and home as well as where he would find the love of his life, Janice. They met in 1994 while she was working in the Stevens Transport safety department and married in 2000. Bobby drove for over three decades at Stevens and won the prestigious Driver of the Year award in 1994 and again in 2013. We are truly honored to call he and Janice members of the Stevens Transport family.
