Averitt | New Wage Implement

[KIKBXR]

Starting pay or general pay range in the south region ? Tx !!!!!

 

[LTLIndentured]

Averitt is a regional carrier so expect the pay to be above the bottom feeders (AAA and Central) and below the national carriers (Fx, OD, UPS). Probably in the $26 hr range

All depends on your location and the center you apply for. I have seen us bring drivers with a clean record in within a few cents of topout.

Sorry Top Hand:(. Averitt here is having trouble keeping drivers for that reason. Can’t blame them. In fact I may join them soon

The competition, like are ourselves ,are hiring like crazy. Now would be a great time to leave. I know a couple that walked on into a big non regional company simply because of them coming from Averitt and their clean record. I know some of my co-workers would love it if some would leave, but that only has happened maybe once in 20 years, and he was Combo.

I heard the incompetent terminal mgr in Houston was retiring (should have happened years ago. But then the saying goes, "The devil you know....."

Actually, Averitt is a bottom feeder. I wish I had the time I wasted there back.

A new low for my company. It only takes 5 out of 14 safety points to transfer. This is down from the 8 points that has been the standard for years. Change in late June this year. Call hotline to hear the change yourself. What are the long term consequences of lowering more and more safety standards.

I think it's a great plan. We have passed over our own employees to hire off the street simply because a driver has had a bad run of luck in having a couple of accidents. I know I've been there myself, I was down to one point at one time.

 

[zeroday]

Down to 1 point??? I never lost a point...

Yes, :I ran over a lot of stuff in the city. But now I'm going on 26 years safe driving.

Rough learning curve but you made it.

Averitt is still a bottom feeder and always will be,

I disagree. They have a very nice facility in Grand Prairie Texas and the pay is about average. If you’re looking for bottom feeders look no further than Central Transport.
