No beards. That was enough for me not to go with them. I live just 20 miles South of Averiit and they were my first choice, untill I found out about the beard thing. Hell I'm a truck driver not a CEO, what the hell do I need the be clean shaven for?
There are a lot of ex Averitt drivers where I work (
www.goiwc.com) and NONE of them liked it. I have even heard some on the CB wanting to know if any good companies were hiring cause (and this is a direct quote here) "I drive for Averitt and we're turning into Swift."
For the record I've never worked for them so all this is just what I've heard.
