Averitt’s Image Guidelines.

As an Averitt associate, you have certain expectations about the company. We pledge to provide a positive workplace environment. In accordance with that pledge, we instituted the following image policy for all associates.

• No beards unless associate has a certifiable medical condition that prevents shaving.
• No decorative beards or goatees.
• Sideburns must be trimmed above the earlobe. “Porkchop” sideburns are not allowed.
• Visible tattoos and body jewelry are not allowed.
• Hats and/or clothing with another company’s logo are not permitted.
• Mustaches must be neatly trimmed and of a reasonable style.
• Hair must be a naturally occurring color (no green, purple, etc.).
• Men’s hair should not extend below the earlobe in front or below the collar in the back. No hair decorations of any kind are permitted. Women’s hair should be neatly trimmed or pulled back.
• Clothing must be neat, clean and in good repair – no dirty, stained or torn clothing.
• Drivers are expected to comply with all image and uniform guidelines while they are on-duty. Drivers are exempt from the image and uniform guidelines only when they are off-duty in the sleeper berth or outside the vehicle at a non-customer location.
• In addition to these appearance standards, drivers must be a minimum age of 23.

Averitt is one of the nation’s leading freight transportation and supply chain management providers. We offer a full complement of transportation services including less-than-truckload, expedited, dedicated, logisitics and international services. At Averitt, the vision is “To Be the Best…The Carrier of Choice.” In October of 1971, Gary Sasser, at the age of 21, purchased Averitt, which at the time consisted of two associates, three tractors, and five trailers. Today, Averitt is still privately owned and operates a fleet of over 3,000 tractors, 9,000 trailers and over 100 service centers. Our company headquarters are located in Cookeville, TN which is about an hour east of Nashville. Drivers joining the Averitt family will begin their careers in truckload. The diversity of our fleet opportunities means that Averitt could be your first driving job as well as the company from which you retire.

Our primary freight lanes are in the Southeast and Midwest. Averitt is a short to medium haul carrier with limited touch freight. Our truckload business consists of nearly 70% automotive freight. Every driver has an assigned fleet manager and we are a forced dispatch system with computer assigned dispatches . We utilize the Quall Com Satellite tracking and communications system. Driver support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Averitt truckload business currently operates over 1200 tractors. Our late model equipment is 3 years old or newer. We primarily run Volvo 670 conventional tractors powered by Cummins N14 multi-torque 370/435 hp engines. While the Volvo is our primary tractor, we do have some Peterbuilts and Freightliners in the fleet. The tractors’ standard options include regular 10 speed (straight 10) transmissions with Jake Brakes, Air Ride suspensions, anti-lock brakes, and CB hookups.

CDL Training Sponsorship Program. 
No Upfront Tuition cost

Under their program, new drivers pay only $1095 of the full $5995 tuition cost - Averitt will pick up the rest. And you pay nothing upfront. Here's how it works:

Through the Driver Solutions company-sponsored training program, you will delay your training cost until you are well established in your new driving career. By choosing the Averitt's sponsorship, you won't pay the regular full tuition of $5,995. Instead, Averitt has agreed to sponsor the first $4,900 of the tuition. Your commitment to the training cost is $1,095, paid at the end of your first year of employment with the company.
