Built for Drivers: The Averitt Difference

Built for Drivers: The Averitt Difference

Choosing the right trucking company is about more than the miles you run. Drivers want a company that understands life on the road, provides the right resources to do the job well, and creates opportunities for a long-term career.

At Averitt, we’ve built our company around our associates. From the equipment they operate and the facilities they use to the opportunities available throughout their careers, we focus on giving our team the support they need to succeed every day.

Driver-Focused Facilities That Make Life on the Road Easier

We believe a better driving experience starts off the road. That's why our facilities are designed to help drivers recharge, with ample parking, clean showers, and comfortable spaces to relax between trips.

Across our network, we offer more than 2,500 parking spaces, giving drivers reliable places to park equipment and get the rest they need. Our facilities also include clean individual showers, so associates can refresh and recharge while traveling.

Safety and security are part of that picture too. Our facilities are gated and equipped with security cameras, helping create a secure environment while drivers are on company property.

Facility benefits include:

  • More than 2,500 parking spaces across the network.
  • Driver showers for added convenience while traveling.
  • Gated facilities with security cameras for added peace of mind.
  • Convenient locations designed to support drivers on the road.


Equipment Drivers Can Depend on Day After Day

Reliable equipment can make every day behind the wheel better. That’s why we invest in modern tractors and the maintenance support needed to keep drivers moving.

Our tractor fleet has an average age of approximately 2.6 years, giving drivers access to dependable equipment backed by a dedicated maintenance team. We know dependable equipment helps drivers stay focused on safely serving customers and getting the job done.

Equipment advantages include:

  • A modern tractor fleet with an average age of about 2.6 years.
  • Dedicated maintenance support to help keep equipment road ready.
  • Reliable trucks that help reduce downtime and distractions.
  • Ongoing investment in the equipment drivers need.


Growth and Advancement That Supports Long-Term Careers

For many associates, driving is just the beginning.

We’re committed to promoting from within whenever possible and creating opportunities for associates to keep growing. Whether someone wants to move into leadership, take on a different driving role, or explore another path within the company, we work to support that next step.

Training, experience, and support from fellow associates and leadership all play a part in helping people build careers that fit their goals.

Growth opportunities may include

  • Leadership development and advancement paths.
  • Opportunities to move into different driving roles.
  • Exposure to transportation and logistics career paths.
  • Ongoing training and development support.


Profit Sharing That Recognizes Your Contribution

At Averitt, our associates help drive the company’s success, and we believe they should share in it too.

Through our profit-sharing program, a portion of the company’s profits is given back to associates as monthly direct deposits into their retirement accounts. It’s one more way we recognize the hard work and dedication our associates bring every day.

When our associates succeed, we succeed. Profit sharing is one way we reinforce that shared commitment.

Financial benefits include:

  • Profit sharing with monthly contributions to retirement accounts.
  • Retirement savings options through traditional and Roth 401(k) plans.
  • HSA and FSA options for eligible associates.
  • Referral rewards and other associate recognition programs.


Benefits That Help Support Life Beyond the Road

Averitt is a company built around people. Our associates are the reason we continue to grow, serve our customers, and move our company forward.

Drivers choose us because they want more than a job. They want a company that supports them on the road, invests in their future, and values the work they do every day.

Additional benefits drivers care about:

  • Medical, dental, vision, prescription drug, and hearing coverage.
  • Telehealth services available 24/7/365.
  • Paid time off after 90 days of service.
  • Paid company holidays beginning after 30 days.
  • Company-paid life insurance and disability coverage.
  • Wellness support, associate discounts, and uniform credits.

 

Benefits That Help Support Life Beyond the Road

For more than 55 years, Averitt has been a company built around people. That shows up in the way we support drivers with dependable equipment, driver-friendly facilities, meaningful benefits, and opportunities to grow. For associates who want more than a job and want to be part of a team that values their contribution every day, we offer a place to build something lasting.

If you’re ready for your next opportunity and want to build your career with a company that puts people first, explore our career opportunities!
