Surely you found something positive or you wouldn't have stayed so long.

I don't know this but he could have been a local driver forced in there OTR / Regional stuff

I saw some of this from some guys I knew that worked at the terminal near my house

That could be possible. As a last resort, they will offer a driver a spot in TL as a last resort if his position goes away.

you are right it was not all bad but i am the type that does not job hop.. but when i
started averitt was a fine company but now they are like most other companies. they
just dont care about there drivers. with thAT SAID I STRONGELY STAND BEHIND WHAT I SAID IF THEY WERE SO GOOD THEY WOULDN'T BE BEGGING FOR DRIVERS ON
A DAILY BASES... AFTERALL ALL TRUCKLOAD COMPANIES ARE AWEFUL TO WORK FOR
BESIDES WALMART AND MAYBE A FEW OTHERS..ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN DRIVING
FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME WOULD AGREE.. IF YOU DISAGREE YOU JUST DONT KNOW
ANY BETTER... TAKE MY ADVICE GET INTO A GOOD LTL JOB. THESE ARE THE ONLY
ONES THAT REALLY TREAT THERE DRIVERS LIKE HUMANS AND NOT LIKE ANIMALS.

you lijke crap. take my advice i worked there for 13 years. most of the
drivers average around 1800 miles a week..beware of orientation be sure
and wear some deep shoes bacause they will blow smoke for three straight days like i said before any company that recruites drivers is not
a good company. if you notice the good companies never loose drivers.

I dont get it, It took you 13 years to figure out you didnt like Averitt, and after 13 years you just decided to quit.
I dont think we are hearing the hole story here, I have been in this industry for 35 years and I have heard it all, and that just sounds weird.
