Great place to work! Daley have to worry about parking!

Really friendly environment and well maintained equipment. I can go a whole week without talking to my fleet manager and be fine. Tons of opportunities for home daily depending on location. Over 140 service centers around their coverage area so parking at night isn’t something you have to worry about. Home time is also great. I’m home every Friday and I leave out on Monday.

Pros

Overnight parking, home time, friendly environment, majority drop and hook, service center amenities

Cons

Not the best pay, governed at 65, uniforms for all drivers

Good co.

Nice place to work,Slow right now. They can call you off at any given moment,Very unpredictable. Other than that, I really like Averitt. Another issue I have is that it’s on the South side of Chicago. I live on the North side. So, crossing through downtown is another great issue for me.

Keeps you busy

They get you home every weekend. Great equipment and a guaranteed pay. Lots of drop and hook loads. I do think there are some drivers that get better loads than others. That’s every where you work

, Averitt has had its challenges, change over, but it pulled itself up by its bootstraps and kept going. Good company

What is the best part of working at the company?I like the people. The staff make a good Friendly connected atmosphere.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Late night drive and can be pretty challenging, but just get plenty of sleep before hand, and it makes it a lot easier. It’s always enjoyable.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?friendly atmosphere. Good people. I did the local work, you just make your deliveries timely and safely and it’s good. They’re very supportive if you need help, you can talk to anyoneWhat is a typical day like for you at the company?Pretty busy, but you always have to keep safety first, do you pre-trip. And then when you get to the customer, you get used to seeing them, and vice versa, you become like friends.

Management and company policy

Management have no people skills and completely concerned only on production . The management and company as a whole always take a one way perspective and it’s always the company’s way ! Always ! Example : they mess up on scheduling your work and you loose money … they won’t make good on it ever ! Happened several times in years and never paid ever .

Pros

Pay is good

Cons

Management is horrible and incompetent … extremely horrendous communication !!!

Cool coworkers but terrible management

Management lacks empathy and true leadership skills/characteristics. Work has been slow since October 2022 and they don’t pay you when THEY failed to provide you work. They do still pay one driving department even when there is no work but not all. They’d rather pay a temp agency to work and tell their actual warehouse employees to stay home. Used to be a pretty chill and consistent place and definitely loved coming to work. Not anymore. Keep being told that next week we’ll be very busy but at this point I can’t believe anything leadership says now.

Pros

Pay is good and coworkers are cool

Cons

Very inconsistent hours, poorly managed, starting to feel like they really don’t care about their employees

Pay and management

Pay is decent for being home weekly management is amazing. If the weather is bad and you don’t feel comfortable shut it down no questions asked. If you have a problem with your pay bring it up to management and it’s fixed either that week or the week after. Get all the miles you want

Company with high respect but doesn't live up to it

Little to no advancement opportunity unless you are a male. Empty promises. Boring. Not paid enough for what is expected of you. Leadership picks favorites so as long as your a favorite your safe other wise watch your back.

Decent

Miles were up and down but once they can count on you, youll get good miles for the week. Constantly asking for more miles became a thing at 1st but theyll try to remember.
