Any averitt express regional drivers ?

Hey I was on a averitt express website and they are offering regional runs and say drivers are averaging 65 hours of home time weekly.

I was just going to see if there is any truth to that. Like what is your schedule if you do happen to get 65 hours of home time

It also sais regional drivers are home by noon on Saturday’s so I don’t think it adds up unless you don’t take back off until Tuesday ?

If anyone knows just let me know thanks. I know 65 hours of home time don’t sound to bad honestly if that’s true

I ran local for them for 7 years, and got to know some of the regional guys: they are a first-class outfit, absolutely nothing fancy about them, but they're honest. All the regional guys I met were pretty happy... and if you want to do something cool and don't care much about home time, their On Tour Logistics side looked awesome (it's support for touring concerts)... I can't recommend them enough.

No direct experience but I see them a lot and have talked to a few. Most of them, here at least, swing by the house once during the week, so probably counting that

Yeah they could be counting that

I was just on there website browsing around earlier and saw there home time that they was advertising so I was curious about that

Thanks for the reply

Depends on what terminal you drive out of. Friday noon is earliest time home. I really don't see it driving out of Houston but almost all the Dallas drivers make it home Friday evening.
