    You need to talk to bigmikectn, I am new to averitt as a student and also corysti which are at the averitt orientation thread. They have both been with the company for at least a year.

    Thanks brother i was really considering them but i didnt know if they were what they say they are . You know how recruiters are they will tell you anything to get you in. i live in tueplo ms and they have a terminal across from who i drive for can you tell me anything about how that miles and hometime work . i have 2 small children and im the only one that works so as the hometime is very important to me i also dont want to get low miles either.thanks for any info you can give me .

    Well look who replies! I've been with the company well over 2 years and while I've had my bad days i've had some really great days and weeks. Averitt was my first trucking company to work for and I actually got my CDL with Averitt. I really love it here and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. They have a good family mentality and we keep the bond strong by having great drivers with good hearts. If you ever come to my terminal hit me up! If your staying the night at the JBO terminal and i'm there and you need something or need to go to wal-mart let me know I'll do what I can...Oh and that goes for both JSB and Bigmike!

    Thanks for responding . I have drove otr for over 7 years know and the company im with is getting really really slow andhave been for the entire year. I was looking into averitt and loved their benefits on medical. I really like the home every weekend thing but i was concerned with them cutting the miles in order to keep you close to get you home.

    Some weeks u get 1800 then some weeks you get 3000....you average around 2200-2400 weekly and you can choose to stay out 2 weeks at a time

    A guy on this forum, FEWE, left Swift to come to Averitt for that account and he said it's pretty messed up. He quit after just a couple of months. He said he was making good money though.
