I Start With Averitt in January 2012

When is your first day? I head up Monday but my first day isn't till tuesday

 

I go to orientation M-Thur. , Dot physical and computer training and then get uniforms on Monday. I might have read it but are you already working for Averitt ? I had DOT Physical already but I guess they do one anyway.

 

Corysti sorry about my dumbnesss , i did see where your going to dispatch , congrats on that !!!!!

 

Bigmike we have had another change of plans , they set up training out of Lawrenceville ,Ga. terminal. They have definitely put forth extra effort on getting me as close to home as possible. I hope I comtinue to feel as good as I do so far , its a far cry from the crap I was dealing with from other company recruiters . Be safe , headed to orientation sunday!!!

 

Yea i've been with averitt before i was able to drive a truck for them. I started out doing part-time dock and got my CDL with averitt then im going now to go for Full-time Dispatch. I'll be there monday afternoon to meet up with safety guy to drive around cookeville because my supervisor wanted me to get signed off with him just incase I need to do some ltl runs. My first real day at orientation is Tuesday where I will be doing dock-computer systems then Wednesday Im there with the drivers to go over some driver stuff. Im doing that just because i want too not because i have too. Originally they only needed me there one day but if im going to drive 6 hours up there im going to get as much as I can done while im there for future transitions. I don't have to take a DOT physical because i've had averitt DOT physical done within the last year. Im going to call and see if I can get a room to myself because I have sleep apnea and I have to wear the machine and it can be a little loud. If you like we should trade phone numbers so we can meet up while were there.

 

Well I met up with jab trucker today at orientation and he is a great guy am I expect him to be a good asset to the team. He's eager to learn more about averitt and he's excited to get out and drive. I officially go to orientation tomorrow but I had to meet up with safety to do a driving test to get 2 more points on my record to max me out. Laying here in bed at the hotel and I'm going to bed!
