LTL city driver/ it all depends
LTL Driver (Former Employee) - Columbia, SC - May 19, 2022
Averitt is a solid company, but it all depends on which terminal you work out of. You can make a decent living there. Just be honest and do the right thing and you’ll be fine.

Stable Company
Local Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Nashville, TN - May 18, 2022
I've worked for a few trucking companies and Averitt is by far the best. Trucking is trucking but when the company has policies and procedures that are actually followed to keep their freight and drivers moving, it takes a lot of the stress off.
Pros
Consistent schedule, good pay, friendly supervisors
Cons
Long hours, physically demanding

Great trucking company to work for
Driver (Current Employee) - Nashville, TN - May 13, 2022
Averitt is a great company! I have always been treated with respect and honesty. You can make great money here If you are willing to run hard, use your clock properly, and make your deliveries on time. It's trucking.... you will have to put some hours in but it will pay off if you show your Fleet Manager you want to run. This is the only company I have ever worked for where the owner calls to check on you. He truly cares for the employees and wants to make the company as driver friendly as possible. The best part about this company is the home time. They will get you home every weekend! I honestly can't say enough about Averitt.... It truly is a great company!
Pros
Home time, benefits, equipment, and pay
Cons
None that I can think of

Its ok.
Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Nashville, TN - May 11, 2022
Good company to retire if you want to stay. Profit sharing for retirement after six years of being in the company. Home weekends for my department. This is the best thing I like. Home by Friday night or sat morning.

Sucks
Class A CDL Driver (Current Employee) - Vance, AL - April 26, 2022
Sucks. Pay is horrible(at least on the Mercedes account) if your lucky and work plant 2 you’ll work 70 hours a week and get barely $1,000. Place I run by a guy who never drove trucks and ain’t afraid to tell you about it.

Ignorance completely and absolutely
Truck Driver Class A (Former Employee) - Erlanger, KY - April 22, 2022
Never have I been around such ignorant and arrogant management. From onboarding to dispatch it is completely unorganized and unsupportive. Stuck in their culture through corporate policy

Toxic leadership
Front Line Leader (Former Employee) - Eastaboga, AL - April 10, 2022
The drivers was cool, LEADERSHIP SUCKS! Leadership would allow trailers to be overloaded, didn’t enforce standards, would allow drivers to do whatever. Leadership were disrespectful towards drivers and some were spoken to VERY DISRESPECTFULLY! Leadership also played sides between drivers and other leaders…..

Work life balance
Fleet Manager (Current Employee) - Nashville, TN - April 5, 2022
Great place to work. Needs more pay. I work 6-3 everyday and no weekends no matter what. Just wish the pay was higher. I work at a location that doesn’t have room for growth.

Stressful and long hours
Switch Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Decherd Tn - April 3, 2022
Running switch truck not hard but very stressful at costumer, 2 to 3 or 4 calls at the same time and no place to park trailers. Long hours and management does not seem to want to provide help as long as you keep covering empty shifts
Pros
Great health care benefits and pay is decent
Cons
Long hours

Really good company to work for
Supply Chain Driver (Former Employee) - Braselton, GA - February 14, 2022
I loved every mile I drove for this company, they are as professional as can be, very understanding of personal issues and are open for accommodations if you need them. I drove a dedicated regional account they have in the southeast which was great because I'd always be close to home. The most I'd spend out on the road was 2 days max and then be back home for 1 day. Off on Fridays and Saturdays and back driving on Sunday. Constant work and friendly people at every stop o had. Unload my trailer with an electric pallet jack which was great because it kept me moving a bit. Overall I really recommend them.
Pros
Great pay, great people. Got a raise within 2 weeks of training. .58 cents per mile which was pretty good.
Cons
No cons that I can think of.

Better than average trucking companies. Home time and pay are inconsistent
OTR Truck Driver (Current Employee) - Houston, TX - February 5, 2022
Overall, a decent company to driver for. Able to park and fuel in Averitt terminals all around the Southeast. Shops available at most major terminals. Equipment is acceptable for the most part. The company does care for its drivers. Uniforms are required, but you are given a uniform allowance. Unfortunately home time is inconsistent. In general, you get home on Friday evening/Saturday morning. You never know what time until Thursday/Friday that week, so making weekend plans can be challenging. Pay is at the mercy of miles of course. If you get stuck running short miles all week, which is out of your control due to forced dispatch, your check will suffer for it.
Pros
Terminals to park and fuel at, good environment and culture
Cons
Pay and home time are inconsistent
