Okay if I were to start with Averitt on the Truck Lodad side and switched over to the LTL side would the LTL side honor my seniority from the truck load side ?

If you transfer from truckload to LTL you lose your seniority for a year then u gain it back after being in that position for a year
-
So lets see if I have this right, I go to truck load for 10 years and decide I would like to get to know them other people that live in my house. I think they are called my family, someone correct me if I am wrong. So I switch to city p&d LTL side and just like that I have no seniority. So I stay with LTL for 11 year running all the crumby city routes with late start times for a year. Then all of a sudden I have 11 year seniority and can compete for the big money line haul accounts
-
Yeah if you transfer after 10 years you don't gain your seniority back until you are in that position for one year
-
It's possible to go directly to linehaul (Averitt calls it shuttle) since so many city drivers prefer to work during the day.
chopper103in Thanks this. -
All right I got my job offer today. It took only 5 days to process my application. I am ready for the Journey to begin. I like the fact I have options with Averitt. We will see what happens

I just got to Cookesville today at 2 PM from Savannah. The drive took me about 7 and a half hours. I checked onto the hotel got my room and the phone rang it was the a tester from Averitt asking me if I would be interested in coming to the yard for the road test. I said sure why not. So I got that out of the way

the road test starts with you climbing safely in and out of a trailer then backing into a dock
then the rest is about a 20 mile drive around Cookeville making many left and right turns
just don't hit any curbs or anything else and you will be fine
