Averitt | Dead group

[ltl lifer]

I stop by TB occasionally but I see that Averitt's thread on here is as dead as the company is.
So very glad to be away from that quagmire of inefficiencies and poor decisions.
Hope all of the employees (not associates) are doing well.
It still rings in my head what I heard back in the 90's during my orientation. "You will be a millionaire if you invest in the 401k and work here for 20 years". I should have left then and never looked back.

Well my friend , let a few friends you know about TB and feel free to rehash the old days.
There are plenty things to do here that you may find interesting like the joke thread crossword
puzzle , look around . Do like many get your coffee and put in your 2 cents like everyone else.

Thank you for being here.

Yeah buddy, Big Blue, I worked with him for years.
He will make a great friend if not so lazy.
I'd run him out of my sleeping spots between Jax and Charl.

A good sleeping spot is sacred to a man.
I nailed a no parking sign to a tree near Estill S C, a C F or Carolina driver pulled it down.
Both blamed the other, but I never found out who stole my sign.

Seabreeze you know that I am the hardest working man in trucking. Most of our drivers are on our Facebook page. I don't know why ltl lifer is so bitter, life is good over here at Averitt.

I heard a rumor that Breezy also went by an alias, Nap King, any truth to that?

I worked there for about 20 years. Unless it has changed significantly in the last 8 years since I've been gone, it was a depressing place to work. Retirement is great! Whatever happened to Companyman?

I thought he was Sultan of Snooze.

Bingo. You got it!
I spent 47 years in trucking and watched it evolve into what it is today and much of that evolvement is not good. Too much government involvement in areas they have no knowledge of. As a result, they have ruined it.
The ridiculous greenie environmental garbage that all of these companies have bought into is just icing on a bad cake.

Thanks to the Teamsters I didn't need to do 47 yrs.
I did 35 and retired at 54 back in 1990.
Thanks to the government decent truck driving jobs are few and far between today.

I got out of LTL after 40 in 2015 and did some other CDL work but I wouldn't trade any of it for any kind of union membership.
