Promotion from Within

I've been with Averitt for five and a half years now. I started as a city driver. Before that I was an operator and once I came to orientation I liked the atmosphere and the team oriented. The next following month I sold my truck and I've been here ever since. Once I heard about the promotion within I was like, wow, you don't have to have a degree. So I talked to another leader and told him I think I want to learn the outbound role. One that leader told the service center director, the service director, say, Okay, let's go for it. The sky's the limit here at Averitt. You can go, if you're willing to take the initiative to go higher, you can. If you want to work for it, you can. You just have to have the will to want to step that position up and move on forward. Averitt looks at everybody as somebody and you can go as high as you want. They have great benefits. Family oriented. There's no one else like Averitt. No one else.

In the beginning, the doc was just a part time job to coexist with Coca Cola. But then you begin to see the future in it. Begin to see the future in Averitt and the possibilities. Looking at the possibilities, I begin to think, well, if I get into driving, that's a that's a benefit. I'm I'm moving up the ramp. Why Averitt is like Averitt is, the equipment, the age of equipment is best in class. And whenever I speak to anyone, I use myself as an example because I've transitioned from dot to driver, from driver to leadership, and from leadership into sales, and from sales into upper management, which is service center director. So I'm that example I use as how Averitt promotes from within. When I speak to people, I like to speak to them about the company as a whole, the culture of the company, how the company exists. There's there's more there's more to Averitt than just that one position that I am in.
