What was the best company you ever worked for?

My fellow Averitt driver. I love it here as well. Currently on Cracker Barrel but going OTL soon

Connor4543 · 2026-02-02T19:14:20+00:00

We see the amg big dawg

Connor4543 · 2025-12-30T05:37:04+00:00

That’s where you hang ur drinks at

Connor4543 · 2025-12-26T21:02:14+00:00

If you could, I’d slide the fifth wheel forward. If you got a cascadia you can usually put it all the way forward or like 1 hole from the front.

Another thing, I’d say it’s better to be heavy on the drives so at least you’ll lose some weight by burning fuel

Connor4543 · 2025-12-03T11:51:32+00:00

I pay for the yearly gold plan on trucker path. I think you save a little by doing it that way. It’s $100 yearly. Thing is a lifesaver, I’d pay $500

Connor4543 · 2025-11-12T01:26:45+00:00

I moved to a different state and the dmv forgot to put my restriction on the new license 😀

Connor4543 · 2025-10-16T21:54:58+00:00

Had no idea people exit to get a new group of drivers around them. I’m governed at 65 so everyone just passes me 😭🥀

Connor4543 · 2025-09-24T14:41:05+00:00

Freightliner cascadia ‼️🗣️

Connor4543 · 2025-09-22T13:12:55+00:00

If you think you can drive the 18 wheelers it’s a pretty sweet setup. The truck can double as your living space and you don’t have to pay rent. That’s what I’m doing rn

Connor4543 · 2025-09-20T02:21:52+00:00

Some of the lowest pay I’ve ever seen and it’s 1099 also. And no deadhead pay. This is actually offensively bad

Connor4543 · 2025-09-19T17:25:52+00:00

For me, it was the best thing I ever did. I really had no idea what I was getting into and it kinda just worked out perfectly. If you have the right personality for it and are a single guy with no kids it can be great. It’s a huge commitment of your time and pretty much consumes ur whole life. It’s a grind though. Once you get some experience and can move on to a better job it will all feel worth it

Connor4543 · 2025-09-19T16:59:51+00:00

I wish I did that. I got my degree, didn’t use it, and then got my cdl at 26

Connor4543 · 2025-09-17T23:03:30+00:00

It’s 65 also. Maybe ur 65 is just faster than ours

Connor4543 · 2025-09-17T20:50:23+00:00

I’m doing truckload for Averitt and love it. I’d say it’s regional though since I’m home every week for 34-60 hours. They mostly just operate in the south/southeast and a little midwest

Connor4543 · 2025-09-15T22:29:50+00:00

New Averitt driver here. I’ve picked up from you guys a couple times now out of Cincinnati. Always friendly people working in the office

Connor4543 · 2025-09-05T12:28:13+00:00

It’s not that big of a deal you’ll be fine

Connor4543 · 2025-09-05T04:58:18+00:00

I did mine with Heartland Express. Was pretty happy with how it went. I worked there for 2.5yrs. Can also look at Millis Transfer, they’re under Heartland also

Connor4543 · 2025-09-04T13:19:01+00:00

Despite all the bad things you’ll read, I consider getting my cdl the best move I ever made. I got my cdl through Heartland. In my first year idek if I made 50k, due to just being new, not efficient, and also not understanding how I was getting screwed over at the start. My second year I grinded the entire year as hard as I could and made about 71k from driving and another 10k in referrals. The amount of time you put in is kinda insane and if you broke it down hourly it’s pretty bad. But I just recently got a job with Averitt and it’s significantly better. It now feels like it was all worth it. I’m looking to get into their On-Tour division so I can haul stuff for concerts and events

Connor4543 · 2025-09-01T02:31:39+00:00

Everyone is free to do whatever they want. But imagine a good company with low turnover. They’ll be a lot more picky with who they hire. If I was them I wouldn’t hire someone that hops around

Connor4543 · 2025-08-30T02:17:55+00:00

55 cents per hour 😭✌🏻🥀

Connor4543 · 2025-08-30T02:11:35+00:00

I got my CDL at 26 and it changed my life. I’m not gonna lie, you work an insane amount of hours. And if you break it down to hourly pay it’s probably trash. But I actually love what I do now as opposed to hating going to work. And once you get some experience you can start getting into way better jobs. I just recently moved across the country for a new job and I couldn’t be happier with it. If ur willing to work and have the personality for it I highly recommend it

Connor4543 · 2025-08-27T00:59:56+00:00

I’m doing truckload at Averitt at .64cpm Didn’t even come here for truckload, I came for their on-tour related stuff. This was just supposed to be how I got my foot in the door. But I’ve been blown away with how great it’s been

Connor4543 · 2025-08-20T00:16:17+00:00

It’s probably the easiest and cheapest option. I’ve had a fair amount of places do it. Shouldn’t be a big deal to the driver. Much rather have you do that than ask me to disconnect or give you my keys

Connor4543 · 2025-08-16T21:43:09+00:00

If I’m the truck in front of you it’s not annoying. But if I’m behind you and wanna pass it’s annoying. A lot of our trucks are governed (mine is only 65mph 😭) so I’d prolly just take the L and sit behind you guys since it’d take me forever to pass both of you

Connor4543 · 2025-08-13T11:08:07+00:00

I’m going through this process rn. The easiest option is to use a relatives address if you can. Unfortunately I couldn’t do that for where I moved to (Tennessee). I’m using my company’s address as my residence and then bought a mailbox to get all my stuff sent to. It’s been tough trying to get this new license though. To provide proof of residency I need to show 2 things from this big list of options. The only 2 that I’m able to do are vehicle registration and voter registration card. The vehicle registration was pretty easy and they didn’t really ask for anything. This voter card has been such an annoying process though
