I drove for Averitt Express for over a year and a half. Over all, I enjoyed my time with them. However, I must warn you that there are somethings that are not what they seem. I was told that I would drive Monday thru Friday and would be home on weekends. After 1 1/2 years, I was only home on friday twice. Also, I was told that I would avg. 2,400 to 2,600 miles per week. That was not the case either. after 1 1/2 years, my avg miles were right at 2,000 miles. Also, if there is any (I mean ANY) disagrements between you and your fleet manager, the fleet manager's word is taken over yours. EVERY TIME NO MATTER WHAT!.\\

It Just amazes me how you can drive 6 out of 7 days and only get 2000 miles. Must be spending a lot of time at the truck stops playing video games

70 miles in over 6 hours?

If you're sitting at a dock waiting to be loaded or unloaded for four to six hours, you can't do much else that day. And if you aren't given a load assignment to go anywhere, what do you do? Lots of people get lousy miles but they're spread out over the entire week. You can only go where you're told to go and no further.

I liked Averitt Express but I was making no miles I averaged about 1500 under Webb Davis. The biggest problem for me is I could not take the truck home at all which living in Michigan and working out of Fort Wayne really created problems. I would tread carefully here.

I have recently left Averitt. I averaged only about 1500 per week, but that is not why I left. Averitt pays HHD miles, and after 3 months when benefits kick in, they short drivers even more. Often up to 25% of actual miles, without any off-route miles. In spite of what their recruiters say, it is very difficult to get detention, unloading, or lay-over pay out of Averitt.
