Thinking of pulling the Trigger with Averitt

Hey guys, I am Salad. And as the title says, I am thinking about going out with Averitt for a round or two. A few things have made me lean towards them:

APU's on trucks
Frequent home time
Local positions

My area isn't hiring local drivers, but I plan to move to Dallas soon anyways. I was a driver with Con-Way truckload and I will admit, I was happy there. I would be happy to go back, except that I do not want to do over the road anymore, it is not a lifestyle I appreciate.

Averitt looks particularly appealing to me in my current roster of possibilities (Schneider, JB Hunt, US Xpress, and Averitt). They all have local positions in the area I plan to move to and presumably I will be able to get on with them from the inside even easier and faster than I would from outside. I know there are other local options (Some better) than these mega fleets but the local options mostly don't have regional/otr positions to hold me over until I move.

What I am really looking for I suppose is just the general opinion on your jobs at Averitt, the threads here are fairly outdated with most of the newer posts being new drivers most likely in the honeymoon phase.

Thanks guys.

 

Did not know this, I will ask. This would be a deal breaker for sure.

 

Well folks, while I was talking with the recruiter for Averitt I was called by my old Con-Way Truckload Dispatcher. He let me know about a Texas Only dedicated position and I snatched it up so fast it nearly broke my hand.

Thank you for your information, be safe guys I'm heading out Monday.
