Productive, Fast Paced, Streesful at times.

Freight Clerk (current) (Current Employee) – Dallas, TX – March 18, 2019

Overall good company. Good job benefits . Paid time off. Managers are good with associates and know how to talk to them about issues or work objectives that have to be done .

Pros

Good location. Paid time off .

Cons

Work hours. Company is senority based so low man totum pole is likely.

43 cent per mile but you get NO MILE..

Driver (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – March 23, 2019

Started working for Averitt last June,it didn't take me long to realize that the miles weren't there.. I'm on the Academy Sports account,and clearly Academy was not set up to get good mileage,you'll be lucky if you get 1700 miles per week and at .43 a mile you'll starve trust me... DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM AVERIT/ACADEMY ACCT...

Pros

New Tractors

Cons

Everything else

Truckload Driver (8 months)

Truckload Driver (Current Employee) – Virginia – March 22, 2019

I feel really good about being here at Averitt! They may not be perfect, but they do make up for it when things don’t go exactly as they said. It’s easy to always blame someone else without asking yourself if I had any hand in things not going as desired. However, I’ve learned from working here if you say something, Averitt tries to correct it. They really do listen all the time—not just when there is an issue. I admire that. With the trucking industry in general, you can’t be lazy, move lethargically AND expect things to just be given to you.

Pros

Benefits/Pay/Getting To Go Home Every Weekend/Feeling Appreciated

Cons

All The Usual Hard Work That Comes Along With Being A Truck Driver

A lot of words and no action

Truckload Division Driver (Current Employee) – Tampa, FL – March 11, 2019

I been here 7months truckload division been home on time maybe four times promise to have you home on Fridays or Saturdays by noon multiple times I got home either late Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

I understand the trucking industry things change but there's too many excuses why you can't get home and not enough communication also equipment is fair but my truck been in the shop numerous times for simple repairs that should have been fixed overtime.

far as trying to get a dedicated account if you live in Florida good luck because there's never anything open for Florida especially for the Tampa area other than the pods account which is not a bad position but I'm not trying to be out for three weeks. Currently I'm still here hoping something comes available for my area if not I'm looking to go local but not with averitt.
another thing if you have your hazmat good because most likely you will get home on time but if you don't did they will tell say that's why you're not getting home on time there's a lot of hazmat loads to pull but if you don't have your endorsements.

Because you're not getting home and sitting a lot which I don't believe because I don't see that many hazmat loads being pulled by averitt.

End result company for someone who's just getting out of school who needs OTR experience but if you're experience veteran of driving be very careful and research.

Pros

benfits, pay

Cons

Hometime, poor communication, no decated accounts for Florida

Great company for new drivers

Truck Driver (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – March 2, 2019

Averitt was a good company to start your over the road trucking career. The training program is fantastic. Six to Seven weeks with a trainer then they have a finishing program for a week, but you can stay an extra week if you to. Averitt really cares about the drivers.

Pros

Great benefits and good miles. Home every weekend.

Cons

none

Very misleading

truck driver (Former Employee) – Tennessee – February 20, 2019

Forced to quit cause I was out all week Mon-Friday an they were putting 300-450 in my account when they promised I would always get st least 750 per week witch was low compared to what I was used to making. all experiences are on you!!! You think if u go to there fancy 4 day training lol school paid me 800 that you would at least bring that home for being gone 5/6 days a week very misleading

Pros

Fancy uniforms

Cons

Broken promises

Call Center

Call Center Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – February 20, 2019

Poor management, greedy executives, that would rather be short-handed than to spend a buck. Company profit sharing drives everything. They discourage showing up early or staying late. Turnover is high, favoritism is rampant.

The use of "leader" to label supervision, is an absolute joke. Leaders only look out for themselves and not their people. Call them supervisors or managers, some of these "leaders" have no idea how to lead, but can manage just fine.
The professional image policy should be revisited, the folks in the call center, who never see the customer, should not have a more strict policy than the drivers, who are the true face of the company

Pros

Great benefits package if you get to use it

Cons

Poor Management, Little PTO

Just a job

Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Katy, TX – February 14, 2019

Go to work, drive, drop and hook and go home. Nothing special about the job. The hardest part is getting up between 12AM and 2AM every morning. There isn't really anything enjoyable about this job so far.

productive and had fun getting to work in a welcoming environment.

Dock Worker/Forklift Operator (Current Employee) – Chattanooga, TN – February 2, 2019

I unloaded and reloaded trailers and used a forklift to load and unload heavy items like rugs and carpet. At Averitt, I learned to drive a forklift and create a positive work environment not only for myself but for the people I work with.

Pros

sometimes get free lunch from the managers and getting a paid lunch break

Cons

short lunch break for the amount of time working and lifting heavy materials

Was hired as a temporaray position while someone was on maturnity leave.

Cash Application Specialist (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – January 31, 2019

Overall it was a great job with wonderful people and I wish I could have continued. But there was very little training and I had absolutely no warning when my last day was until the very last hour. Then after a week I was sent to another department. After a total of nine hours and going home for the day with the assumption that I was going to return the next day, that evening I got a text message that I was not a good fit and to not to return. I got no explaination as to what I had done wrong, as far as I was concerned there was nothing in my part that was wrong as they said they would see me in the morning. So with that being done I was not happy with that company.

Great Company but poor management

LTL Truck Driver (Current Employee) – North Charleston, SC – January 21, 2019

Averitt is a good company but the management makes the job harder than it has to be. Most of the work is put onto certain drivers while other particular drivers get to pretty much manage themselves and receive special treatment. It is very unorganized due to the lack of leadership and favoritism.

when I was there not good

Truck Driver (Former Employee) – Vance, AL – January 16, 2019

Did not like the management way of doing things. They give their picks and chooses the better jobs when bid comes up. That's when I was there. I haven't been there in a long time

sitting in truck for long periods of time. Trucks are old and need repair.

Local Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Vance, AL – January 14, 2019

Over all not a bad company to work for considering truck driving. Pay could be better, leadership is unorganized. The pay is not completive when you consider being a truck driver.

LTL Selections Coordinator (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – January 9, 2019

Productive environment. Works well with schedules. Great benefits with free clinic provided to associates along with gym as well. However more geared towards drivers than people in administration.
