From New Driver to Service Center Director: Isaiah Woodard

At Averitt, our people fuel everything we do, and we're always on the move, always growing. So our people grow right along with us. We hire the best of the best and invest in training every associate to their fullest potential. That's why we promote from within and why the best person for the job is usually one of us. In fact, promoting from within is one of our core values. It's as much a part of who we are as Red Trucks. But don't take our word for it. Ask one of the many hundreds of associates who can tell you firsthand. When I got on and looked at what Averitt had to offer, I felt that there was a culture there. I felt that there was a team atmosphere. After speaking with a recruiter, I was sent to Cookville for orientation and I just felt like this was an atmosphere. This was a team that I really could be a part of. I was really appreciative of that. I even went home and went back to my hotel and called my wife and told her, you know, I think that this really could be a great place for us. Whether you're part time or full time, on the dock or in our call center, our associates are always first in line for promotions and new job opportunities with Averitt. Even as a frontline leader, I would get e mails of leadership updates from individuals that were part time doc associates that are now leaders, time doc associates that are regional VPs. Just a ton of success stories here. For a company to have ten percent or more of its workforce at twenty years of service is close to unheard of. The numbers speak for themselves. Nearly fifteen percent of our associates have been growing with us for twenty plus years. We're looking for more. More leaders, more doers, more people who are ready for what's next. At Averitt, we believe you shouldn't have to switch careers or companies to change your job. I believe that many people get into truck driving because they think that is what they want to do for the entirety of their career. However, not everybody feels the same way and so if you're an individual that wants to continue to learn different aspects or different facets of trucking, that opportunity is available for you.
