Military Veterans & Resources

Got this off of Averitt's page... "Did you know that if you are or were employed within the past year (12 months) in a military position requiring the operation of a military motor vehicle equivalent to a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV), you are eligible for a waiver to apply for a CDL without skills testing? "

Post Trucking Company Orientation: Training Days Begin

I just finished with my trainer and I have to say I had a great experiance with him. From day one I was behind the wheel and logged 2100 miles + a week, I did everything, if I did not know how to do it he took time to explain it to me then had me do it. We ran with his dispatcher (not the training one I have now) so we got all his loads.

Hey ty1on2 here. I had the same problem with Averitt Trucking. The recruiter is joke. He said he would call me back on Tuesday , this was Thursday. said the his boss was on vacation, lol. So Tuesday comes around No Call. I called him, no answer. The next day I tried him again, no answer. So I called my school and they called him from there number and he answered the phone. He told them he would call me on Wed., LOL no call. So I know what you mean when comes to recruiters. I guess I will see you on June 1st if you go to PA for training.

Must be that recruiter, I called Averitt on a Monday, she took my info over the phone and set up a phone interview for the following day at 0900, after the interview was told recruiter will get back with me on the results; by that afternoon the recruiter called me back and had me set up for orientation by the next Monday with hotel resevations and all???
