    not knocking any company...but I live in Greensboro....I work for EPES and am home every weekend...most of the time for a 34....but also, sometimes, the whole weekend! You can PM if interested....as far as Averitt...I have a friend that use to work at the dock in greensboro YEARS AGO, and the guys I've run into seem to be happy there.

    Ok cool, yea I've been looking at epes to. How is there equipment and treatment of drivers. Will they let you have a inverter or let you idle. I live in greensboro also looking for that weekend hometime.

    yeah but they don't let you bring the truck home.

    Plus you have to wear uniforms and they have a facial hair and tattoo policy also.

    I have been with them for 19 months and have no complaints
    but like all companies you have your good and your bad but for me the good definitely out weighs the bad

    I am on a dedicated account so I cant say how the miles are in truckload/ regional

    I don't think he asked that question on any of these but I will answer them for you

    Take the truck home-----No you cant, they want them parked at their service centers when your on home time
    Uniforms----yes you have to wear the uniform, they pay for them
    Facial hair---they allow beards and mustaches but they want them trimmed neatly
    Tattoos---they want tattoos covered

    these are all thing that you agree to abide by when you accept a position with Averitt

    I worked for averitt for a year and a half. they were a great company. I only left them to work at a local job where i am home every night that i thought i would like better (but was wrong). i am hopefully going to be back with averitt next month. I was home every weekend with them unless i wanted to stay out longer, and would average about 2200-2500 miles a week if i came home on the weekends, more if i would stay out. They have an APU and 1500 watt inverter in all of the regional trucks, so no need to idle. I was treated well and got along good with my fleet manager.
     
    chopper103in Thanks this.
