Averitt Express [OHIO]
 

Going to work for them in 2wk's looks like good co. i hope cus i'm leaving a good co. 4 them
ANY1 have any experience with them please post or pm me

LTL or OTR??? If LTL, P&D or Linehaul?

I worked for them for 1 year LTL in Winchester VA doing P&D.

I cant speak for OTR but, LTL they were a good company. Not the highest paying LTL out there but, you can make a good living doing it. As far as the work and the requirements, they are the same as most LTL carriers. Of course IMO, they are all the same with different color trucks for the most part. I guess you will be on your way to "Cookevegas" TN here soon huh?

BTW, the only reason I quit is becasue the Dispatcher and management at the Winchester VA location are a bunch of nimrods. Seriously, I have worked for iddiots before but, they were bottom of the barrel at that terminal. Also, I started my own business so, I had to get out of trucking to do it.

BTW, who are you leaving to go to work there?

thx 4 the reply

OK, I am not sure about OTR or regional with them. BTW, you have probally been to the Winchester VA Kohls then. I work for Western Ex. out of there. Good gig.

Pretty Girl!!

I LOVE me some BIG WOMEN!

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

Averitt up-date
 

well been with them 2weeks driving, doing alot of setting an waiting for lds
there hiring to many people w/out the loads, so u set at least in oh
going to give them a couple weeks see what happends
my advice about AVERITT ''DON'T DO IT'' for now anyway

Talked to some averitt drivers about the TL side of things. Seems most of them think that the TL drivers do a lot of sitting, and then haul a lot of linehaul loads at OTR wages when the linehaul guys are making 20 cents more.

I thought about going to averitt but then i started wondering if a company geared for LTL just has the logistics and infrastructure to haul decent TL freight.

Anyone feel free to set me straight if i am wrong.

How many miles have you gotten your first couple weeks?

Generally, it's going to take a couple weeks to work you into the system, and for them to develop a comfort level.

Let me know. I got a few weeks before I start with them.

Averitt is primarily a tl company not an ltl company. Also don't forget that they pay hhg not practical. Years ago they were quite good but now they are just average. I've talked to too many drivers who complain about the lack of miles. We have several former Averitt drivers over here at Crete. Keep in mind also that if you work in the Upper Midwest you are going to go to Canada quite often.
