    It does not seem very active in here on posts and or info, but does Averitt hire recent CDL Grads?

    How are they work for, do they push teams?

    Any ideas on average miles per week?

    Thank you

    Be interested to hear what they tell you......like gsmith2332 said, from their website it looks like they are looking for experience. If you talk to someone there let us know.

    I could not see anything on their site about it either. They seem to do refresher course but do not mention anything about grads from approved schools.

    I see they have a couple of openings not far from me too. I figured if I do call I will get their main office.

    Does anyone know anything in working for these folks? Most of the posts here are a few months or older.

    In Oklahoma they are advertising for the DG account. Anyone have any insight on running the DG account for Averitt opposed to running it with Werner?

    yes they do hire straight out of school they are not a bad company very strict on policy you must wear a uniform i had a bad experince with them when i was on truck load didnt get but maybe 2000 mile but loved working in the city as a p&d drive great benifits but i got fired for bending a fence pole (they had to many drivers at the time and thought that they could get rid of me and not have to pay unemployment but they lost there case HAHA) if they offered me my job back i would be there tomarrow but they wont so now im on a mission to get all there pick ups.

    Around here you won't be hired with very little experience. They are looking for someone that knows what they are doing. There are a few exceptions to that matter I've seen them hire guys with little experience but they got their cdls while they worked at Averitt express as a yard dog or dock worker.

    I saw something on their website tonight about a Class A CDL refresher option, they way they explained it was if you only had a minimum of 4 months (vs the 1 year they require) they will put you with a trainer for 3 weeks at $600 a week then .35 a mile once your 3 weeks are done. Sounds like a fair deal to me....
