I Start With Averitt in January 2012

It is actually not to cold up here right now. It was rainy all weekend but the sun is out today. If you get a chance let me know if you find out how freight runs up this way.

 

Big Mike my drive is not 150 miles it is 1.5 hours. It might not matter because I found out today that the nearest approved school for me to attend is 125 miles north. A 2.5 hour drive one way every day for five days a week might be a little much since I have three driving schools within a half hour of my house.

 

How long does it take to hear back from these folks? Put in an application for a spotter position at the Nissan Plant in Decherd, TN. After 21 years looking to hang up OTR and be home everyday. Let me know

 

Hello all, just wanted to say thank you for all the great insights Mustang and Big Mike and others have put in here in helping me to decide on whether or not I want to get into trucking early 2013. I am 43, kids are grown and gone and looking for a career change. I have some things I need to get out of the way first and from I have read here and other places, Averitt seems to be a great company to work for. I am in northern Ala off the Tenn. border between Florence and Hunstville. Can someone kindly tell me or give me a list of Averitt approved schools I can attend around here? Thanks so much!

 

I don't know that I have actually ever seen a list of those schools, however, any recruiter for Averitt should be able to tell you. Also, you may can talk to a few local schools to see if Averitt sends recruiters to their school. If Averitt sends a recruiter out then they will most certainly would be an approved school. You can check Averitt's web site to locate a telephone number to call for employment information.

 

I am sure they do check you out. I'll give em a call on Friday, tried yesterday but the number I have is an automated system and it wont let me through.

 

that's the number you have to call...Just go through the questions and get to an operator. Then tell them what you need. I had same problem and didn't wanna wait...I was told to wait It was well worth it.
