Heroes Wanted. Turn Here.
Each year, Averitt commits itself to adding more veterans to our growing team. So, no matter which branch you served, or what your specialty might be, we have a uniform waiting for you. Turn Here.
GI Bill OJT Program
At Averitt, we believe every veteran deserves to work with a team that has your back – and a company that has your future. That’s why we don’t just take pride in our veterans – we take care of them.
Hundreds of veterans are already at ease with us, and we’re always looking to grow that number. In fact, we’re committed to hiring 1,200 or more veterans by the year 2020.
