Stevens Trucking Companys focus on employees and customers promotes success
“As a company, we thrive on hard work, a good attitude, and building relationships with people,” says Cole Stevens, Vice President of Sales at Stevens Trucking. These are as much family values as they are qualities of the company his father Kenney founded 39 years ago this July.
In fact, there is little that can be separated from the Stevens family and their family-run company —something that has both defined Stevens Trucking Company and contributed to its enormous success. What started with a single one-ton hotshot truck, that Kenney Stevens himself drove, is now a booming business with 250 tractors and nearly 1,000 trailers.
Strong Values from the Top Down
Four decades of growth in a competitive industry is no fluke, and Cole Stevens attributes the company’s success to staying true to their commitment to service and their core values. This includes viewing the elder Stevens as the centerpiece, following his example, and centering the business around employees and the customers.
When he started the company, Kenney Stevens set out to develop a brand that was known for its extremely fast delivery. According to Cole, his father “has always been Johnny-on-the-Spot,” and that attitude permeates the culture of the company, something that has proven quitean asset in an industry and society where faster is often viewed as better.
This is not to say that the company is willing to sacrifice safety in the name of speed. Another trait Stevens gets from its namesake is that it makes sure to “cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i.’” Where safety is concerned, thoroughness is vital. Such dedication is easy for a company to follow across the board when they see their leader committed to it.
