Written by Averitt Careers | 2/3/25 12:00 PM

When you join a company that truly values its people, it becomes more than just a job - it's a place where you can build a meaningful career and feel a sense of belonging. For those who wear the Averitt red, this sentiment rings true every day. Being an associate on our team means stepping into an opportunity where dedication is recognized, professional growth is supported, and benefits go beyond the basics to make life better for employees and their families.

We believe a great career deserves recognition and reward. That's why our industry-leading pay package sets the standard for professional drivers, offering competitive base pay with regular increases that honor your commitment and experience.

But we go beyond the paycheck. Our associates enjoy performance bonuses, profit-sharing opportunities, and referral incentives, ensuring your dedication is always acknowledged. You'll also benefit from growing paid time off, paid holidays, and company-sponsored savings initiatives that support your financial future.

From meaningful ways to plan for tomorrow to perks like scholarships and everyday discounts, our compensation and benefits package is designed to help you thrive on and off the road.  With us, it's not just about earning - it's about building a rewarding and sustainable career where your success truly pays off. 

Health and well-being are foundational to a fulfilling career, and our comprehensive health benefits reflect his commitment. Our associates can count on affordable and reliable medical, vision, and dental coverage that provides security for themselves and their families.

But the support doesn't stop there. Telemedicine services ensure that our associates have access to care anytime, anywhere, while wellness programs encourage a proactive approach to health. We even have a nicotine cessation program to help our associates achieve their goals of living healthier lives. It's not just about being covered - it's about the tools and support to feel confident and cared for, no matter what life brings.

 

Starting a job is just the beginning; it's the opportunities for growth and advancement that turn a job into a meaningful career. Our associates have access to a wealth of training and development programs designed to help them reach their full potential. Whether it's gaining new skills on the job, benefitting from our commitment to promoting from within, moving into leadership roles through specialized programs, or transitioning into new positions through incentives like our Dock-to-Driver program, the path forward is always within reach.

Here, recognition goes far beyond a simple thank you. Our approach to celebrating milestones and achievements ensures that our associates know their dedication matters. Programs like Red Thinkin' Rewards allow associates to earn points for safety milestones, years of service, and team achievements, which can be redeemed for exciting rewards. Service and safety awards provide additional opportunities to shine a light on individual and team accomplishments. It's not just about doing a job well; it's about being celebrated for making a difference every step of the way.

Having the right tools makes all the difference in how professional drivers perform and enjoy their work.  Modern equipment with advanced safety features and in-cab tablets ensures that every day on the job is efficient, safe, and comfortable. Secure facilities equipped with driver lounges, showers, gyms, and on-site maintenance provide the convenience and care that associates deserve. By investing in state-of-the-art resources, we want to be clear in our commitment to making the workplace as supportive and efficient as possible.

The best workplaces are built on strong relationships, something our team values. From the Open Door Policy that encourages transparent communication to the Driver Advisory Council that gives associates a voice in shaping company decisions, our emphasis on connection and collaboration is clear. Beyond the workplace, regular cookouts, family gatherings, and team events create opportunities to build bonds and share in the joy of being part of a supportive community. It's this culture that turns coworkers into friends and a job into a home away from home. 


Being an associate on our team means being part of something special. It's about more than just a paycheck or benefits; it's about being recognized, supported, and given the opportunity to grow. It's about working in a culture that values connection and community while providing the tools and resources to succeed. Most importantly, it's about finding a career that's worth celebrating every day.
