The Team Behind the Wheel: Every Role That Makes Us Successful

The Team Behind the Wheel: Every Role That Makes Us Successful

When people think of a trucking company, they often picture the drivers behind the wheel. While professional drivers are the backbone of the industry, a successful trucking company relies on an entire team working behind the scenes. We recognize that all associates – from mechanics and dock workers to IT specialists and corporate leaders – play a crucial role in keeping our operations running smoothly.

We’re more than just a place for professional truck drivers. We offer a variety of career paths that allow individuals to thrive in a stable, rewarding environment. Whether you’re looking for hands-on work in our shops or behind the wheel, an administrative role supporting daily operations, or a leadership position guiding the future of transportation, there’s a place for you here.

Dock & Warehouse Operations

Dock associates keep freight moving efficiently, ensuring that shipments are properly handled and loaded for transport. For those looking to transition into driving, our Dock-to-Driver program provides the training and support needed to earn a CDL and advance into a driving career.

Mechanics & Maintenance

Keeping our fleet running requires a team of skilled diesel mechanics and maintenance technicians who ensure that our trucks and equipment remain in top condition. We invest in state-of-the-art tools and training, giving our mechanics everything they need to succeed and build their careers.

Sales & Customer Support

Our transportation sales and customer service teams work directly with customers to provide tailored shipping solutions, build lasting relationships, and ensure satisfaction. Their work keeps our business growing and strengthens our relationships in the industry.

CorporateAdministrative Careers

Our corporate team is dedicated to strategic planning, operational excellence, and customer success. In a dynamic, collaborative environment, associates bring diverse talents, skills, and ideas that make a real impact. Our administrative professionals are the behind-the-scenes heroes, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether your expertise lies in IT, HR, operations management, sales, marketing, or accounting, there’s a place for you here. If you're an organizer, problem-solver, or detail-oriented professional, your contributions will help keep our teams on track and moving forward.

Leadership Careers

We are constantly looking for leaders who challenge the status quo and push for continuous improvement. Our leadership team doesn’t just manage operations – they redefine them, making processes smarter, faster, and more efficient.

Driving Opportunities

If your career path is behind the wheel, we  offer a variety of CDL-A driving positions to match your career goals, schedule, and preferred type of freight. Whether you want to stay close to home or hit the open road, we have an opportunity for you.

  • Local City & Dedicated Local – Be home daily while serving your local community. These positions offer steady routes, great customers, and competitive pay, allowing you to enjoy a strong work-life balance.
  • Shuttle & Team Shuttle – Drive a predictable overnight route, moving LTL freight between Averitt facilities. Solo and team positions are available, and you'll be back home each morning.
  • Intermodal – Haul freight containers between rail yards and customer locations. This position offers a mix of local and regional runs, keeping work dynamic while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
  • Regional – Explore the open roads across the South and Midwest with weekly home time. Our regional drivers enjoy steady freight, reliable miles, and high earning potential.
  • Dedicated & Dedicated Flex – Enjoy consistent routes, freight, and home time while hauling for specific customers. Dedicated Flex drivers get the added variety of working with multiple accounts, making each week unique.
  • Production & Event – Be part of the exciting world of entertainment logistics! Our On Tour Logistics (OTL) team supports concerts, sporting events, and live productions across the country. Drivers enjoy steady schedules, a team environment, and rewarding pay.

Our secure facilities, on-site amenities, and open-door policy ensure support at every level. For our drivers, a modern, well-maintained fleet with advanced safety tech makes the job safer and more efficient.
  • Opportunities for Veterans – We proudly support those who have served. With 15% of our team made up of veterans, we know the value military experience brings. Our pay differential program provides financial stability for active duty and training leave, ensuring you’re supported while you serve.

Whether you’re a professional driver, mechanic, salesperson, support staff, or future leader, we offer a place where you can build a lasting career. With opportunities across multiple fields and a commitment to individual and team success, we’re more than a trucking company—we’re a team that moves forward together.
