Sorry about your throttle and cruise going down, I think overall it's just the auto issue though. I had an automatic ready mix truck that was also slow and went back to my Mack that was golden.

Nah, it's not. I saw the throttle settings on the laptop. It's up to the mechanic who sets it up/works on it. So with that said, it's kinda like the supply system in the military... Sometimes ya have to grease the skids.. LOLTROOPER to TRUCKER Thanks this. -
Regarding the uniforms, do they have pants only our do they issue shorts as well?
-
You are issued 5 shirts which is a choice of polo or button up both short sleeves. 5 pair of pants and a parka jacket. Now I went online and got 5 pairs of shorts and no tuck shirts that drivers can wear. I got them in two orders as they are deducted from your check. The first uniforms issued is on them.

Sounds like there's a lot of micro-managing going on over there. Would not be the place for me, but if it works for you, I'm happy for you.
-
If someone wants to pay me good and treat me good I do not mind at all if I am provided uniforms for my on duty time.
-
But I'm glad you're happy there. -
It's like any other BIG company and not just in this industry. Mandates and rules are/were put in place for a reason. Now whether or not we agree with them is up to you, but to work there you have to abide by them. I liken it to military service in some ways. (Very loosely of course)
Averitt management is not a bunch of bullies. Most of the FM's I've talked to wish even they didn't have to do some of the thing they do. As for the personal standards that is in place, I think those will loosen up some in the future as well. (No more clean shaven and I think tattoo's will be next to a certain degree)
But Averitt does not hide all this, they say it up front when you talk to a recruiter, so you know pretty much what you are getting into if you decide to hire on. So it's a choice that person makes to run for them or stay with them.
But like you said... Yes we know who is in charge, and for me at least, sometimes I'm glad someone else has to deal with "it" (insert situation here) instead of me. I've had enough of stress the last 24 years. But that's just my opinion. -
I wore a wool uniform for 20 year working the road. Ill take shorts and tuckless shirt any day!
chopper103in Thanks this. -
Bluejeans for me, a shirt that tucks in along with my belt, & a pair of boots. I always took a pair of moccasins with me, sometimes I would wear them when in my truck.
TROOPER to TRUCKER Thanks this.
