Productive and great place to work
Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) – Birmingham, AL – July 10, 2018
I’m leaving Averitt because I have to relocate to Huntsville AL, they aren’t offering any jobs there currently so we have to part.....................

Currently working more hrs with no compensation to show for it
accountable
Driver/Outbound Supervisor (Former Employee) – Theodore, AL – July 5, 2018
Averitt is focused on their employees being accountable, and well trained. Extensive resources are used to ensure a safe, and well trained environment. Serving the customer is the highest priority.
When you transfer you don’t hold your spot but for a yr
Shuttle Driver (Current Employee) – Knoxville, TN – July 5, 2018
I came to Averitt for one reason and that was I would be home every weekend. When I started here you had to do truck load for one year where you’re gone all week . My biggest gripe is they don’t keep up with industry standards for Pay . We are currently 8-10 cents a mile behind other carriers. LTL tops out at .58 cents . Turnover is a lot higher than they want you to know . Just think it’s time for a change . When you change divisions at Averitt and someone transfers after you if they have more seniority after a year they go ahead of you on the board . Therefore you never gain company seniority you just go down the board .
Pros
Uniforms
Cons
Seniority is messed up
family feeling

Truck Driver (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – July 2, 2018
averitt trucking is a very good and organized company to work, on the daily the driver get his assign load and other information from our dispatch, then the driver determined how long it will take and the fastest and safe way to deliver the load.

Dedicated Driver (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN 38502 – June 20, 2018
Doing safety checks on your truck and going over your paper work and route of travel . I learn use my time wisley the management was great never stand over your back work culture was good for the most part you hardly ever see anyone . The hardest part about the job is driving in the mountains at night. The enjoyable part of the job is when your shift is over !
Pros
Good place to work
Cons
Night Driving
good place to work
Combo Driver (Former Employee) – Greenwood, LA – June 16, 2018
get your bills and run your daily route. make deliveries and after that you start making pick ups. hardest part is finding locations and being able to get your truck into difficult places.
Pros
long hours
Cons
stress full work
small office and familiar faces
Office Administrator (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – June 15, 2018
My job mostly consisted of shuffling paperwork. Lots of paperwork. The computer system was outdated and not the easiest to navigate, but fine once you got the hang of it. You typically saw the same faces everyday, and although it was a quick paced environment, there were periods of lull throughout the day and you could relax and mingle with co workers.
Pros
benefits, never boring
Cons
staying until all drivers reported
a iot of driving
Transportation Driver (Former Employee) – 4500 Birmingham Dr. Birmingham, Alabama – May 26, 2018
The trucks look great. Management wasn't kind . The pay was very low at time. The insurance was great . Home time was excellent, home every weekend. The hardest part of the job is not moving up.
Good introduction to transportation
Various Positions (Former Employee) – Kennesaw, GA – May 12, 2018
My employment was over 10 years ago, so I can't provide much in the form of current policies or conditions. But it was a good place to work for me as a young man with a family.
okay for credentials
Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) – Charlotte, NC – May 10, 2018
just a bunch of people who work you for nothing. usually hired through temp agency, so the people coming in and out were not what i expected. company cut my shift and only went to operating two shifts a day with no room to keep me on the other shifts.
Pruductive and very competitive
