    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.

    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.:biggrin_255:
