Military Support

Not only is Averitt a proud participant in the industry that keeps America rolling, but we also take tremendous pride in our associates who are active members of the nation’s military!

In fact, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve program has recognized Averitt as a “Patriotic Employer” on several occasions. This distinguished honor commends our efforts in “contributing to national security and protecting liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America’s National Guard and Reserve Force.”

Averitt’s commitment to providing opportunities to veterans includes:

• CDL skills waiver assistance for veterans with military driving experience.

• Dock-to-driver and driver-to-leadership career paths, encouraging veterans to move up through the ranks to leadership positions.

• Flexible career paths for spouses of veterans and active-duty military, including the ability to transfer between locations and divisions as needed.

• Compensation for leave when called to active-duty or training camp, up to 30 consecutive days, with eligibility to receive the difference between military and Averitt pay.

Military Friendly 2025

 

 

We're proud to have been recognized by MilitaryFriendly.com as a Military Friendly® Employer, reflecting our deep commitment to supporting service members and their families as they transition to civilian life. For 2025, we've earned the Military Friendly® GOLD Employer award and Military Friendly® Spouse Employer award.

HIRING VETERANS

Averitt believes that the contributions and sacrifices made by American veterans and military personnel should never be forgotten when they return home. This especially holds true when they are entering the civilian workforce.

We understand that the challenge of transitioning from a military to civilian profession can often seem overwhelming. At the same time, though, we recognize that many veterans possess several of the skills and characteristics that make them a good fit for the Averitt culture.

Through their service, veterans develop numerous traits that Averitt holds in high regard, including a motivated spirit, self-discipline, a commitment to professionalism, and image and leadership abilities. Knowing this, Averitt emphasizes reaching out to veterans through recruiting efforts at bases across the South and in conjunction with driver training schools.

Averitt offers many career opportunities for military veterans such as driver, leadership, diesel mechanic, and dock worker. Additionally, we work closely with members of the National Guard and other branches to accommodate military leave.
