Calling All Service Men and Women

We salute those of you who’ve proudly worn our nation’s colors. The men and women who serve our country make big sacrifices for the freedoms we enjoy. At Averitt, we believe that every veteran deserves to work with a company that values their experience and the unique skills they bring to the table. Whether you’re current or former military, or whether your last day serving was yesterday or a decade ago, there’s a place for you on our team.

Supporting You as You Defend Our Country

We’re proud to be a military-friendly employer, and we believe our military associates have the right to be at ease as they make sacrifices to defend our country.

Going on active duty can present financial challenges for some service members. When you’re called to active duty or training camp, you can now be compensated for your leave of absence – for up to 30 consecutive days, you’ll be eligible to receive the difference between your military pay and the base pay you would have earned at Averitt.

About 15% of our associates are military veterans, and we know we're stronger when veterans wear the Averitt uniform. So you can rest easy knowing that while you go on active duty or to training camp, we’ve got your back!
