Charlotte Warehouse Site Manager Started As A City Driver When Charlotte warehouse site manager JAMES EVANS interviews potential teammates, he doesn’t have to look far for an example of our commitment to career-growth opportunities. EXPERIENCING OUR CULTURE FIRSTHAND That’s because James started his Averitt career about 27 years ago as a city driver. He spent seven years in that role until he was promoted to frontline leader, a position he served in until 2021. Last year, James became a frontline leader for our Charlotte warehouse, and earlier this year he was promoted to site manager. James’ passion for wanting to grow in his career came from his experience of helping lead groups in overseas mission trips. “I like working with people,” James explains. “We had big teams go on these mission trips, and we went through a training process to get them ready for the culture we were going into.
