My time at Averitt

Figured I'd give an account on my experience at Averitt. Orientation was good. My first day was a bust. Driver told me to meet him in 30 mins and I waited 2 hours at terminal then left back home. Next day got picked up and went to pick up my truck but it had no keys. Had to chase a mechanic down for a set. Had some good loads and a few crappy ones so far but all in all it's been pretty decent. I've averaged about 1200 a week and I've been with them for 2 months. Fast forward now and I've been here about 2 months. This weeks been good so far. Will update weekly.

 

This week has been good so far. Gotta go to New Jersey. I've never been so I'm a little nervous.

 

This week has been a really good week. Running my butt off. Bouncing back and forth between Al Ga and SC. Saw the worst wreck on 85. Little sprinter van slammed into the back of a semi doing 65 when the driver tried to pull back on the highway from the shoulder. Also pretty sure I saw my first lot lizard. Good week all in all.

 

I know they're a mega but they've been good to me so far. I've not gotten 1200 miles yet. They have kept me at well over 2000. It is my first regional job and we had a rough start but I'm pleased with how things have been so far. I know Chinatown can send me some good places if this one falls through lol

 

I had 6 months driving a day cab for a local environmental company. I got tired of being a driver and a field tech. It was a really tough job that was taking a toll on me. I decided to try the regional when I saw Averitts and. They pay me .46 per mile. I drove a mix of van, tanker, and some flatbed for the environmental. They did a lot of illegal stuff. My seat in one of the trucks was a piece of plywood. So I decided to move on and here I am today. Basking in this glorious life style.
