I Start With Averitt in January 2012

Just wondering how do Averitt road drivers make their money. Is it by milage pay or is it by stop off pay? I believe that $1080 a week gross is fair for 3,000 miles, I don't believe it is good when you factor in all the sacrifices the driver has to make to earn that pay check. Averrit is hiring for a dedicated account in my area and am interested in them. I am not trying to basxh Averrit but just trying to make an informed decision. Thank you for any replys you may make.

 

Ask specific questions about the dedicated account and compare the details with what you think is worthwile. Unlike some companies, they will tell you the specifics. Somebody should be able to tell you the exact mileage rate(usually higher in the northeast) and time spent out. Some dedicated runs pay more than others in regards to stop pay and mileage.

My run is 2297 miles per week. I am on my third year on the run and hope to have many more. Less money than most runs but I'm at the stage of my life where it's plenty. All my toys are paid for and have 15% going into 401k. The benefits and the 3 days and 4 nights home per week are the most important things to me.

 

Do they have Team,wife and I have had enough fun in the oilfields.Time to hit the road again.

 

There are a few out of some locations, but not many. You would have to call and ask if anything is available.

 

Thanks for the response,also heard no visible tattoos,that true?

 

Hey Mustang and Mike thank you for the quick responses to my questions. 2011 and the early part of this year was hard for me. I have to clean up my work history. I am doing a FEDEX run to Memphis from Savannah twice a week for an owner operator. He pays me well for the work performed, but no benefits. The medical coverage is no big deal right now ( that could change with the new Obam care tax being) due to the fact I am retired military. How ever I would like to have a 401K plan. I am pretty happy working for the OO right now and hope to be able to stay here for 3 years to clean up my work record. The good news I have time to research companies. Did alot of job hopping last year.

How serious are they about tattoes ? I have 2 on my forarms and can be seen in a short sleeve shirt. Would be willing to wear a long sleeve shirt if thats what it would take. I am extremely clean cut.

 

They are serious, but I went through orientation with a guy with a full sleeve on one arm and they told him long sleeves are ok. And unless you are in a terminal, nobody is going to see you anyway.

 

No visible tats. No beards or piercings either.
