    Starting out as a student and on up hows orientation? How's the trainers? The pay? The hometime? Benefits? Are they a pretty fair company? What was your experience?

    I worked for Averitt Express for 5 years and I started off driving Line Hual (OTR) for two (2) years and I avg about 2200 miles a week, 90% drop & Hook and never unloaded a trailer. Then I became a Combo Driver (Local) out of their Tampa Service Center making $19.50 per hour 12 hours a day Mon thru Fri with the opinion of Saturday work. I loved it! The were a very driver/family oriented trucking company with great benefits. I wish I didn't have to leave but my ex-wife needed to move back to Rhode Island and I wanted to be near my kids so I followed leaving the best driving job I ever had. I wish they would expanded into the North East instead of out West like they have been. Great company you are very lucky to have found a home with them!

    Guess you missed the first part where he drove OTR for 2 years before switching to LTL.
