    Does Averitt go to NYC or Canada? Are pre-passes provided? Are they company based or lease? Do they hair folicle test? Are there any retirement plans like 401K? Are the dispatchers competent? What is the average hometime? Can one expect 2000 mi a week? Is $1000 a week realistic in this company?

    If you are worried about a hair follicle test, you may want to wait another two years to get all that stuff out of your system. In the mean time, become as physically fit and healthy as possible. Also, be sure to drink PLENTY of clean water, along with herbal teas, to completely detoxify your body.

    If you come up "dirty" on a drug screen, your truck driving career, for the most part, will be over before it gets "on the road". Do NOT take any chances. 99% plus of both the trucking companies and the truck drivers themselves, are quite adamant about people who "pop positive" on a drug screen.

    Good luck to you! God bless you and your entire family!

    truckload and ltl drivers do not go to NYC or Canada, they have prepass/ezpass. all drivers are company based, they do not have any lease or o/o drivers. they do have a 401k, you can expect to run around 2000-2200mi a week, and they get you home on the weekends unless you want to stay out. I have had the same fleet manager for the 1 1/2 years i have been here and don't have any complaints. They did urine and hair folicle drug test on the first day of orientation.

    Thank you for your concern mje, but the reason I asked about the hair test is because I've got a shaved head and was wondering if I had to let it grow in first.

    Unless your hairless, they can just get it from somewhere else.
