‘I REFER AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN’
Expeditors Driver Thankful To Be With Averitt
MICHAEL ROBERTS is glad to be part of our team, and because of the experience he ’ s had, he refers as many People Like You as possible. “I always tell people that Averitt is a great company to work for,” says Michael, who is a Dedicated driver with our Expeditors account. “The benefits and the 401(k) are great. A lot of companies will do the match of a few percent, and we’re over here tripling that. I tell people, ‘I could go on for days talking about Averitt. You’ve gotta check it out for yourself.’ I try to refer as many people as I can so they can get hired on.” Before transferring to our Dedicated team, Michael was a city driver at Memphis for a couple years, and he previously spent about seven months in Truckload. Being in the backyard of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, he’s a strong proponent of Averitt Cares for Kids. “Donating to St. Jude is very dear to my heart,” he says. Michael is also a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard, and his unit has been a great source for referrals. “I’m in a transportation unit,” Michael explains. “Everybody that I’m in with has a CDL, and everyone drives trucks on both sides. That really helps me out.” The same family atmosphere of a unit is one of the biggest reasons Michael is proud to wear the Averitt uniform. “Whenever people come up to me, they ask, ‘Hey, what do you think
about Averitt? Do you like it there?’ And I say, ‘I’m not blowing smoke or anything. I love it because it’s very family-oriented,’” he says. “Averitt will work with you on things like home time. It ’ s a large company with a smalltown vibe to it. That’s why I enjoy it.” There are some specific attributes Michael looks for when he’s referring People Like You. “It’s the way people carry themselves,” he says. “And I know that Averitt looks for people who are professional, with the hair and grooming policy and how they dress. You have to present yourself in a professional manner. If they ’ re climbing out of the truck in flip-flops and look like they’ve been on the road for six months, I’m not looking for that.” Thank you, Michael, for helping us grow and keep our culture strong for the future through People Like You referrals!
