Hello...
in the process of getting myself a job with Averitt. I was an OTR driver for 2 years with Schneider National Bulk Carriers hauling tanks and currently a city driver delivering beer in Jersey. I dont usually pay attention to the negativity on these forums due to the fact that the world wide web has become an outlet for people to piss and moan about just about everything. As far as trucking. Its not for everyone. If you hustle, you will be okay. You must be flexible as far as when you can run freight. If you have no work ethic. whether your trucking or flipping burgers at Carls JR. you arent going to get anywhere. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR. So now that we got that out of the way. Black and white i would like some information. Dress code/personal appearence. I do have facial hair, working w/ schneider, I had to be "clean shaven" so thats nothing new, nor is it a problem. man makes the appearance, not vice versa. How long is the training for a driver with experience? they have the dollar general account. I have heard horror stories about dollar general accounts. as far as backing in tight spaces. Being a city driver in New Jersey. Im used to blocking traffic in small shore towns to back 60 foot trucks into tiny little liquor store parking lots. how does the pay work for the dedicated accounts? As far as truckload. Are they quick to dispatch as long as you keep them updated quickly via qualcom. Are the miles decent as far as a "regional" standpoint. I know from doing regional in the east coast. its alot of short hauls. alot of running. but it added up rather quickly.
