Averitt | Uniforms, Facial Hair & Tattoos

Raising the Bar for Image in Transportation

You’ve probably already noticed that the way we look is different from most transportation companies. Years ago, Averitt was one of the first companies in the industry to have uniforms, raising the bar for the image of the professional driver. That tradition continues today. Why is our image important? Customers prefer to do business with professional-looking people.

All drivers, dock associates, and mechanics are required to wear uniform items. Every year, drivers and dock associates receive a uniform allotment that can be used toward the purchase of new uniform items. We call this our Uniformity program.

Associates receive an annual uniform allotment to help maintain our team's professional image. Eligible associates include:

Full-time and part-time drivers
Full-time and part-time dock associates
Frontline leaders
Operations managers
Field OS&D associates
Field W&R associates
Driver support specialists
Maintenance frontline leaders who are not on the rental program

First impressions are lasting impressions. Sometimes they’re the ONLY impression. Your image is an important factor in shaping the perceptions of our customers and the public. Customers will use providers that make them look good to their customers. Because of this, we want to always maintain a neat and professional appearance.

Clothing should be neat, clean, coordinated, and in good repair. Hats or clothing with another company’s logo are not allowed. We also have an online company store where you can purchase apparel, gifts, and collectibles.

Facial hair is welcome at Averitt! Beards, mustaches, and goatees are allowed but must follow the ½-inch-long rule.

Tattoos are allowed if they are considered inconspicuous. Tattoos that are offensive and/or disturbing are prohibited. If your tattoos require covering, we offer an arm sleeve and/or long-sleeve shirt options.
