I Start With Averitt in January 2012

Well the news from the current driver is the miles are down and you can tell it...Last week a driver said he got less than 1800 miles for the entire week and this week we had probably 6 trucks that didn't even leave all week and one of the drivers came in sunday and had to wait until thursday before he had something. I've been cut completely from driving with averitt at the moment. Im currently part-time and they told me I have to get a sleep study done even though my local sleep study. When I went to the sleep doctor he concluded that no need of a sleep study and even the doctor that original gave me the 3 month card and told me I needed to have it done got the paperwork from the sleep doctor and has given me a brand new dot physical card for another year. It's complete bull-##### on averitts part and I've seriously considered going to old dominion because I was told as long as I have paper work from my sleep doctor stating no need for testing and a current card that I wouldn't face any problems with working for them. But since I got dropped to part-time I have no insurance so im pretty much screwed!

I was told that OD is paying their drivers 50 cent a miles for their line haul drivers....Now considering our guys are lucky to get 42.5 a mile thats a big difference.

 

Are you a city driver? I've never heard of part time road driver.

 

What part of GA are you from?

 

Dang dude. Did your wife run off with an Averitt driver? You apply and get turned down? You seem to be awful bitter towards the company. Or wait, you aren't one of those drivers who cries and moans about every company you work for are you?

 

sounds like they turned him down

 

Hope they did. If not, they'd had to replace the drivers seat from flood damage, because of the crying, and that'd cut into our profit share.

 

I am a part time combo driver

 

Is that what you are driving, a Cascadia as a part time combo driver?

 

Glad it isn't just my APU making me shiver at night...I almost started a fire in the truck to stay warm the other night...lmao
