    I have been considering them also, and do not find much information about them either.. Maybe that is a blessing...
    And Mule I am in the other end of Alabama, so its just amazing that they are so quiet when it comes to work information...
     
    mule Thanks this.

    I know some of their drivers. As far as OTR they are not that great. They do have a lot of local openings tho, once you do your time with them. They look for local runs within their OTR fleet. They get home on weekends and have yards everywhere so you can find a parking place most of the time in a secured lot. They don't have jakes on their trucks tho.
     
    mule Thanks this.

    If you do a google search for "averitt drivers forum" one will pop up and there are alot of active drivers there answering questions both good and bad. I was interested in them as well, but they recently changed the policy and don't hire drivers with less than 1 year otr any more.look for posts from a guy named redisnotsogood. He is a team driver and he will explain the pro's and con's without trying to recruit you.
     
    mule Thanks this.

    I know Averit is hiring southeast regional drivers for their terminal in Madison, AL. They are right across the street from the Target distribution center off exit 3 on I-565.
