    I decided to move to another company where I could make more money, but I would not hesitate to recommend Averitt. I have nothing bad to say about them. They were excellent in the time I was there. I just found something that was a better fit for me long term.

    That seems to be Averitt problem in their truck load division. Trainers and a few others get most of the miles. You have to make a decent living when you have a family

    Well I had a problem with the prescreen physical at Schneider and can't drive tankers. I may transfer to their dry can division but it is less money and my contract states that I was to be a tanker driver. My problem is my knees and weight make my balance shaky as well as I have a hard time crouching down on the little catwalk they had.

    So I am tempted to call Averitt and see what they are offering. They sent a recruiter to my CDL school and it seemed like a good company.

    It wouldn't hurt to call them. They do make you pass a DOT physical during orientation. It was nothing out of the ordinary. You do have to squat down and pick up a weighted crate and sit it on a table and then put it back on the floor. It's not that heavy.

    I had to do that for Schneider and I was fine. It's the balance beam act that got me.
