BUILDING CONNECTIONS Charlotte Associate Has Made Many Referrals In Career
After coming to Averitt as a part-time dock associate, Scott went through our Dock-To-Driver Training Program and served as a city driver for more than 30 years. A few years ago, he transitioned into a new position helping to oversee our Charlotte Avery Warehouse. In that role, Scott receives trucks, assists with inventory and makes a couple deliveries each day. Scott uses our Power of One capabilities as a powerful referral tool. “I have regional drivers from other companies coming in – at least one a day. I talk with some of them, and I’ll give them referral cards,” he says. “They ask about over the road, and I say, ‘Averitt does it all.’ I also have LTL drivers coming down here doing pickups, and they’re like, ‘I didn’t know Averitt had a warehouse like this.’ We service whatever the customer wants. That’s one thing that sets Averitt apart. If you want a specialized service, we’ll do it.” ‘SOMETHING MUST BE GOOD ABOUT AVERITT’ During his tenure as a city driver, Scott built connections with many drivers from other companies. “It was basically the Averitt image and equipment.

They’d say, ‘Wow, you’ve been there a long time, so something must be good about Averitt.’ I’d tell them exactly the way it is, and I’d ask them what they want to do.” Scott’s most recent referral was his nephew, who was hired as a part-time dock associate. “He called me recently and said, ‘Uncle Scott, I really appreciate you helping me come to Averitt,’” Scott recalls. “He said, ‘I love it here. I wish I’d done it years ago.’” Though he has made many referrals over the years, Scott has been careful to only refer people he thinks will be a good fit for our culture. “I don’t go to bat for a lot of people,” he explains. “I go to bat for people I know want to make Averitt a career. Not just a part-time job to make money. There’s a big difference in the two.” Thank you, Scott, for your dedication to quality People Like You referrals! Your commitment and the commitment of associates throughout our network is keeping us strong for the future!
