Stevens Tanker Division, which is part of Stevens Transport, will permanently cease all business operations on or before October 15, according to documents submitted to the Texas Workforce Commission. All of the division’s employees are being laid off permanently.

The layoffs will impact 586 employees across the state of Texas. The largest job loss is at the Stockdale location, where 376 are employed. Seventy-one workers are being laid off at the Dallas headquarters. Dozens of workers at the Pleasanton, Bryan, Bridgeport, Cresson, Dilley, Waelder, and Asherton sites are also impacted by the layoffs.

To correct this a bit, I would say that almost 600 jobs will be relocated to different companies. Stevens jumped into the oil and gas business full speed ahead, likely knowing very little about what they were getting into. Everyone else out there is still hiring, plenty jobs available for these folks.

Overexpansion, overextension again?

Overexpansion, overextension again?

my guess is complete mismanagement.

These are the same folks that used to require that their reefer drivers stop during their routes at thermoking to have their temperatures verified.

I have an old army buddy who works for them on their California dedicated. (He lives in Bakersfield) he thinks they are just the cats meow. But he tells me about things he does there. Micro managed to death, but he loves it. I couldn’t work like that. I wasn’t aware they were doing tanker either. I though they just did reefer and rail.

I don't like any kind of micromanagement so I'm reaching the end of my rope here.

Some people love being told exactly what to do all the time. And they'll sit as long as it takes to get their orders.
