Averitt- Dedicated Cracker Barrel
Topic 29873 | Page 1
I'm interested in more info on becoming a driver with Averitt Express on their dedicated Cracker Barrel account. I'd like to know if anyone knows anything about this company and what to expect. I spoke with a recruiter but I would much rather speak with a driver.
Averitt is a good company. I was with then for 2 years until recently getting a local job. Ask any questions and I maybe able to answer them.
Do you have any info on the Cracker Barrel account?

I did work in supply division for Averitt, which crackle barrel is. They run reefers and do deliver to all of the crackle barrels in a region. You have one main dispatcher , but you run out of dc’s. Most of the people I have met are really nice and are in a hurry to get you out of there. I have been told the trailers are preloaded and you just have to drop and hook. Once you get to one of your delivery points, you will hand unload what you are delivering.
Dispatcher:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.
Drop And Hook:
Drop and hook means the driver will drop one trailer and hook to another one.
In order to speed up the pickup and delivery process a driver may be instructed to drop their empty trailer and hook to one that is already loaded, or drop their loaded trailer and hook to one that is already empty. That way the driver will not have to wait for a trailer to be loaded or unloaded.
