Driving divisions
Regional Truckload
Regional truck drivers at Averitt deliver freight throughout 25 states within our Southern, Southwest and Midwest lanes. You'll enjoy 100% no-touch freight, weekly home time and the opportunity to make an average of $1,100 per week. Our regional truckload positions are ideal for drivers who enjoy being out for a week at a time before stopping at home. As a matter of fact, 87% of our drivers are home by noon on Saturdays.
On Tour Logistics
Our On Tour Logistics team offers drivers a unique opportunity to utilize their skills on the entertainment circuit. Drivers in this division demonstrate the highest level of performance excellence and are able to commit to multi-week runs or enjoy daily production runs (one-offs that get drivers home daily). Qualified drivers receive specialized training about touring and entertainment production procedures, which allows them to fill the production and tour load needs of our customers.
Regional Flatbed
Our regional flatbed drivers cover 15 states throughout the South and Mid-Atlantic regions and haul mostly steel, lumber and other building materials. You can expect to run an average of 2,100 miles per week and weekly home time. This division is great for drivers who enjoy the physical challenge and additional compensation opportunities of flatbed work.
Dedicated

We're happy to pair you with a compatible co-driver, but our team shuttle positions are also perfect for family members, spouses or friends who already work well together.
