For the sixth time, Averitt has been recognized by MilitaryFriendly.com as a Military Friendly Employer. This year, we’ve also been named a Top 10 Military Friendly Employer and a Military Spouse Friendly Employer. These distinctions follow the results of an annual survey conducted by Viqtory, a military marketing company with a mission to connect veterans to civilian opportunities. We’re proud of our longstanding commitment to military service members and their families, and we’re honored to receive this recognition again. 

Our Driving Force Is People. This is a core principle at Averitt and is something we focus on daily to provide our associates with lifelong and rewarding driving careers. During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW), we get the chance to uplift and honor our associates even more.

Here’s everything you need to know about this latest step in our commitment to total driver satisfaction.

Finding your passion is one of the most rewarding parts of life – and if you’re really fortunate, you’re able to follow your dream alongside a loved one. That’s the case with mother-daughter duo Casey Ginder and Megan Brock, who both found their calling with Averitt.

Running your own truck driving business as an owner operator can be very rewarding and profitable but most would agree, it’s not easy. This makes it even more important for carriers to provide the resources and support needed for owner operators to thrive. Former owner operator Rodney Hicks has found that working as a company driver with us offers many advantages while lowering the risks associated with being on his own.

How military personnel make your workforce stronger, smarter and uniquely capable

Hiring military veterans has proven time and time again to be a win-win situation for both transportation companies and the veterans themselves. For our returning servicemen and women, our industry provides a good job, a stable career path and an opportunity to utilize much of the skills and training gained during the course of military duty.
