    Everything changed for me last year, otherwise I would be and was just like everyone else........

    Likes-
    AE made it possible to be a full time dad, it far outweighs any dislikes. If i'd been with any other company during that time of my life things would most likely have turned out differently.

    Dislike: tattoos not allowed to be seen, no body jewelry, no facial hair below the lip, no long hair.

    If the inbreds that try to run this company would worry about the important things instead of this superfluous silly uniform and appearance BS it would be much better. The little Dicks (as in director) of the world are mired in the 50's. He will be gone in a few years.

    Gary S., our President, is big on our appearance and wants us to be clean shaven and groomed, unlike the other high percentage of drivers on the road today. I had a beard when I hired on, I was told it had to be removed and I chose beard or lifelong career at Averitt, 24 years later I'm still clean shaven and have no regrets. There are a few companies out there that allow tats, beards and long hair, that's not us.

    I still say it's silly. GS is still a figurehead only. We are the puppets and are driven by the puppeteers.
