Has potential
Dedicated Driver Class A (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – December 10, 2018
This could be a good place to work. But it is not. They have a strong benefits package, but very low pay for the job expectations. Management is very poor, and some were literally incompetent. Drivers are not appreciated, they don't care about your problems or concerns. You don't find out if you are working Saturdays until you get back in on Friday, seriously. The equipment is fair. Maintenance is solid. Averitt's utilisation of Qualcomm is the worst I have ever seen, so much wasted time.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Low pay, unbelievably bad management.
Okay
Truck driver (Current Employee) – Lawrenceville, GA – December 8, 2018
This company has alot of benefits, it is a good company. I got lucky, I have a very good fleet manager. But the pay is not enough for me. I am out all week, without seeing my family, without being able to sleep in my bed to get an $850 check or less. I am in truckload and I have not seen $900+ from them. It does not seem like it’s worth it to me. Like I said, it is a good company, good people but I could make that kind of money driving buses or something else and be home everyday.
Pros
Benefits, good people
Cons
Pay is not good enough

Working There
Dockworker (Current Employee) – Florence, KY – November 29, 2018
Averitt was one of worst places I have ever worked at in my life and would never consider working for them ever again. I think the whole company is a shame and would of taken them to court of harassment case but decided not too.

Good Company to learn from
Fleet Manager (Former Employee) – Cookeville, TN – November 19, 2018
Good Company to learn your skill set from then find another job that pays a lot better then what Averitt Pays. Base pay does not change much no matter how long you are with the company

Fast Paced, can be disorganized
Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – November 14, 2018
Always lots to do with most of the responsibility ultimately lying with the driver. Can be frustrating when lots of the things that can go wrong stems from how trucks are loaded or how stops are dispatched, which are out of the driver's hands.
Workplace
OTR Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – November 11, 2018
Averitt is a well organized company to work for although it does take a while for career advancing transfer of positions and pay could be better for the hours and miles we drive for the company.
Pros
Career advancing
Cons
Management, long time for transfer, pay.
My experience
Class A Truck Driver (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – November 9, 2018
Averitt is a excellent company.
The trucks are in excellent condition. Home time is great. Benefits are fantastic. Management cares about drivers.
Drivers are treated with dignity and respect. We have a place to wash our trucks and clean our cabs. We can travel with pets or family. No one is left behind at Averitt Express.

The hardest part of the job is the harsh working conditions
Dock Worker/Forklift Operator (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – November 7, 2018
Lots of the time spent waiting around for freight with nothing to do in extreme weather conditions with no overtime pay. Poor communication skills amongst staff as well as strong sign of favoritism.
Cons
30 min unpaid break
Very fast paced
Driver (Former Employee) – La Feria, TX – October 30, 2018
My duties included 2 shifts. 1st shift started on the docks at 6 am offloading incoming freight and staging. After all incoming freight was unloaded, the daily routes were loaded on to the trailers. My second shift as a driver began when my route was loaded to a trailer. The route included deliveries and pickups.The average time was arriving at the docks around 8 pm.
Pros
Good hours
Cons
no steady freight/ hours
great job
Driver Associate (Former Employee) – tennessee – October 27, 2018
great job, great company, great supervisor/dispatcher. lots of opportunities, just to name a few good things about the company. if there had been an averitt where I moved, i'd still be with them
Cons
tennessee
Driving a truck just wasnt for me.
Driver (Class A CDL) (Former Employee) – Lawrenceville,Ga – October 26, 2018
At the time I had a wife and children at home. Driving a truck I wasnt afforded the opportunity to see much of them. Responsibility driving a heavy truck didnt seem proportional to the pay and the time one was away from home was too little for the pay. Working for the company was good. If you were where you should be It was some what like being self employed.
Pros
Na
Cons

not a bad company to work for
Class A CDL Driver (Former Employee) – Saint Rose, LA – October 22, 2018
not a bad company to work for its just they dont get much freight in new orleans and if your over weight you are required to wear a cpap mask at night which is uncomforable
Great company
Truck Driver Class A (Former Employee) – Texarkana ar – October 20, 2018
Very good company Can’t say to much of nothing but good about this company they treat you with respect and make sure they care of all they driver got to meet the owner who first started the company.
Pros
Home every weekend
Well paid but poorly led at local level
Company Driver (Current Employee) – Cookeville, TN – October 17, 2018
Averitt Express is basically a good company.
The overall work is diverse and what you are hired for may not be what you will be doing on any given day.
The atmosphere and culture at the location I was employed at place your job above your family/personal life in that the hours were variable every day and any week could be from 0 to 7 days with no advance notice.

I was with a temp agency
Class A CDL Driver (Former Employee) – Murfreesboro, tn – October 5, 2018
Not enough days worked because of issues at Nissan. Never knew when i had to work till later in the day. There was a huge lack of communication between Nissan, staffing and managment.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Lack of communication
Ok work place
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – September 30, 2018
Fast pace environment and must be able to load and unload trailers and use RF device to Perfrom your job duties. Must be able to know how to unload a trailer and to load on another making sure that the product is loaded on the right trailer
Good company
Supply Chain Driver (Current Employee) – Tuscaloosa – September 15, 2018
Averitt Express is a good company, although I would not recommend driving in their Regional position. I have driven dedicated and Regional with Averitt. I have a total of 4 years with Averitt between the two positions. I can tell you that if you have a dedicated position it is a really good place to be. So, if you can deal with a 65 mile per hour truck and wearing itchy red uniforms it's a good company to work for...
Pros
New equipment, adequate pay, good benefits
Cons
Erratic schedule for regional drivers
City Driver- Pre-trip the truck, then head out for deliveries and pickups in a designated area. Usually do a swap out at a large base customer later
City Driver (Current Employee) – Duncan, SC – September 10, 2018
I enjoy Averitt. I love what i do, and who i work for, but am presently awaiting a transfer, and it has truly tested my patience. Transfers are to be open after 6 months of employment, and yet i have been here for over 9 months now, transfer documented, and am purposely being held for an extended time at my present terminal. There are so many positive things about Averitt, that you can't let one area where they don't measure up, cause them to be looked at differently. I would give Averitt 9 out of 10 stars. If you are looking for a company with advancement opportunity, respect, and great benefits, Averitt should be a first stop priority. COME ON BOARD!
Pros
Culture/ Respect/ Benefits/ Advancement opportunity
Cons
Svc Ctr Managers may have a tad too much say so in transfers or advancement.
