Oct 31, 2024 6:00:00 AM
We’ve always believed that great careers should be accessible to everyone – and for us, that means creating an environment where women thrive. We’re proud to announce that we’ve been recognized again by Women in Trucking as a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation in 2024. This award reflects not just our commitment to female drivers, but also the values we live by every day: inclusivity, safety, and growth.
It’s no secret that the trucking industry has evolved, and we’ve led the charge in making it a welcoming place for women. From day one, we’ve created an atmosphere where women feel professionally and personally supported. But it’s not just one thing that sets us apart for our female associates – it’s the entire package.
Safety That Goes Beyond the Road
Our commitment to safety includes our top-of-the-line equipment and our network of secure service centers and facilities. We know that peace of mind comes from knowing you’re cared for both on and off the road. That’s why we offer:
- Over 100 Safe Service Centers and Dedicated Facilities: Located across 21 states, many of our locations feature private showers, washers and dryers, and exercise rooms for comfort during long hauls. With automated ID access, security cameras, parking lot lighting, and on-site guards, you can rest easy knowing that your safety is a top priority.
- Top-Tier Equipment: Our fleet boasts modern, reliable equipment with cutting-edge safety technology. Our trucks have an average age of just 2.3 years, so you’ll always drive the best.
Support Where It Counts
Being part of our team means you’re part of a community that values balance, respect, and personal growth. We’re not just offering jobs – we’re building careers that empower women to excel in every aspect of life.
- Flexible Time at Home: We know family time is important. For our driving associates, we have positions with weekly and daily home time to allow them the flexibility to do what they love with the people who matter most. Our non-driving associates enjoy positions with a variety of schedules that best fit their life and family needs. That’s one of the best advantages to an Averitt career: choices!
- Uniforms Tailored for You: We provide uniforms specifically designed for female drivers because we know it’s about more than fit – it’s about making sure you feel confident and comfortable every day.
A Career with Benefits That Matter
We believe in rewarding professionalism and dedication with benefits that truly make a difference:
- Affordable, Comprehensive Insurance: Whether it’s medical, prescription, dental, or vision, we’ve got you covered. 2025 family plans start as low as $101.10 per week, with individual plans at $38.25 per week.
- Profit Sharing: We’re in this together. That’s why we offer a profit-sharing program that gives back to you through monthly direct deposits into your retirement account. Last year, our profit-sharing contributions equaled nearly 9% of associate pay – well above the average company 401(k) match.
- Career Advancement Opportunities: We’re committed to promoting from within. Whether you want to stay on the road or explore leadership roles, we support your growth at every stage of your career.
We’re constantly striving to improve – to provide the best equipment, benefits, and environment for our team. It’s not just about being named a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation – it’s about proving every day why women choose us as their career destination. We’re not just offering a job; we’re offering a career that lets you drive your future with the support you deserve. Whether you're an experienced driver or new to the industry, we have a place for you.
