    Wow, I guess things have changed? When I was there, you had to have a couple years of experience. Also, we weren't assigned accounts, we ran them all. I was a regional truck load driver, I quit because like earlier posted, you get home Saturday and leave on Sunday! Not what I signed up for!! The first 3 months, home every Friday, out on Monday. After 3 months, home on Saturday, leave on Sunday. I said screw this!

    We have Serctrs in Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Rivieria Beach, Sunrise and Ft Myers. I work out of Orlando, been in Truckload for 10years.
    The job listing will say Regional Driver. After 1 year on the job, and if there is a opening posted you can apply for P&D, Shuttle, Combo or Dock. We have dedicated accounts, I my self would NEVER work for Averitt on a dedicated account. You can apply online, T/L miles can run between 1600-2700 miles a week.....don't believe for a minute the BS they tell you about AVERAGING 2500 miles a week. You will be home every weekend, mostly you will get enough time in to get a 34 restart, but with this company Freight deliveries comes 1st, your home time comes 2nd. Averitt has it's own ways of doing things...once you accept that everything will be OK!
