No camera & home every week?

Thanks for the input. How's the pay?

 

Starts out at .46 (I THINK) but don't quote me. There is more on the website, but since I am not a recruiter, I'll let you figure that out. But they are really not that bad of a starter company. I have a great dispatcher, and get treated fairly. So I guess I'm lucky. I've been with them 6 years now, and always window shop at the other options, but haven't found the greener grass, so-to-speak. There are some that will swear off Averitt as a crap-hole and the worst place to work. I have seen and talked to some of the supposed "dispatchers" that are there, and they can't find a way out of a paper bag with a map and compass. If you have an open mind about a company (ANY company) you will find it makes for an easier start. And if after as certain time, it doesn't work out then so be it. Move on.

Everyone's situation/needs are different, so please look at ALL your options. I do also know that right in that general area of Fisherville, there is a UPS and FEDEX yard as well, so if you want to run LTL, line-haul, etc... they may be a good option. But if you want a smaller company, there is no one better than Chinatown, unless they work there. LOL

But if you haver any more specific questions, please feel free to PM me and I'll try my best to answer them.

 

My current company has cameras too. I had mine covered for 2 months before the insurance company did a random audit and dinged me for it. Covered it again, another audit in about 2 months time.

Had cameras for about the last 5 years.
I find as my salary increases my aversion to them diminishes.

 

Marten transport has road facing camera. No driver facing. They have dedicated account s that get you home weekends

 

Personally I would recomend having the camera. The idiots out there are worse than ever. No camera and you have no proof to say your not to blame.

 

What's your aversion towards cameras, fam? I felt kind of iffy when USA Truck put the 2 way camera system inside of their trucks during my stint there. My disdain for the system slowly dissipated once I realized that the driver is constantly under surveillance while behind the wheel. I actually seen it as advantage that the company allowed the driver to manually record events when he/she wanted safety to see what was going on around the truck. I wish JB Hunt had that feature in their trucks .

 

You shouldn't fear the cams looking in on you behind the wheel if you're a safe driver. Some companies want to know the reason why an incident occurs. If the driver rolled the vehicle over while masturbating behind the wheel, the company deserves to archive the footage. If I'm totally attentive when an event declaration is triggered, then they cant say that I was distracted.
