Lebanon, TN has a few major accounts for Averitt both for dedicated and truckload. we take several loads out of that area each day. I am based out of Clarksville, TN and often pick up in Lebanon to start my week.

Although I too am not a fan of the uniform, Brett has it right. It does make a difference. I have learned that we will never get everything our way, so, a little compromise can lead to a bigger pay off.

RT, does Averitt have a training program avenue?

Not like Prime or Swift in the sense they will school and train you. They hire from schools and from the trucking pool. They do offer reimbursement after 6 months. I believe it was $1,000 for me. They are not at the top in those kind of programs, but the pay and atmosphere makes up for it.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Yep, they are constantly adding as well. When I started, there were maybe 7 or 8 drivers from my domicile. Now there are at least 12. I run out of a yard. There is no actual load activity at the Clarksville terminal.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
