Interested in a career as a professional CDL-A driver?
A driving career with one of the nation’s most respected transportation companies might be closer than you think.
Averitt’s Dock-to-Driver Training Program is an exciting opportunity to grow your knowledge of the transportation industry. With this on-the-job training program, you get paid to work on the dock while learning the skills to earn your CDL. Here’s how it works:
- Join the team as a dock worker
- Express an interest in obtaining your CDL-A to your Service Center Director
- If you have your CDL already, we will determine the amount of training based off your driving verifications
- If you have no experience, you will go through 4 weeks (20 days) of training with a local driver trainer. You must have your permit.
- You will receive top dock wages during training
- Upon completion of training, you will become a CDL-A qualified dock associate and must be willing to drive when requested by leadership and will be considered for open driving positions as they become available
- Your pay rate will increase to a CDL-A qualified dock rate (which is halfway between top dock and city wages for the market)
- You will be reimbursed for your CDL, hazmat, tanker and TWIC fees where applicable
In addition to receiving top pay, you’ll also gain top benefits and the support of an entire team, including one-on-one instruction from an Averitt driver trainer. And you’ll get a jumpstart on a career path with endless possibilities.
Don’t take another job. Start your career with Averitt by applying for our dock to driver job. And see just how far you can go! Once you get to experience Averitt’s culture of teamwork and professionalism, you'll know you’re home to stay.
