Knoxville Driver’s Experience Spurs People Like You Referrals ‘AVERITT IS BY FAR THE BEST’ Knoxville home-daily Truckload driver TAMERA TAMERA O’CONNER has been with Averitt for five years, and her experience with our team has prompted her to be active in making People Like You People Like You referrals. Before coming to Averitt, Tamera was a part-time driver for another company in addition to her full-time job at an oncology pharmacy mixing chemotherapy. She also had previous over-the-road experience, and she wanted to get back into transportation full time. “For one thing, I’m the type of person who will go crazy if I have to sit in one room all day long,” Tamera jokes. “I like to get out and go. And truck driving pays a lot more. Even mixing chemo, which I went to school for, I make more driving than I did doing that.” Tamera referred her son and brother-in-law to Averitt, and she continues to refer people in the transportation industry who work for other companies. The referral of her son turned into a family team shuttle combo, as they drove

together for about a year before she recently moved into the home-daily role. The reason Tamera makes referrals is simple. “It’s because I like this company,” she explains. “I’ve worked for other companies, and Averitt is by far the best that I’ve seen. No other company I’ve ever seen has an owner who actually calls and talks to you and meets you. That’s impressive. Averitt seems to care more about the drivers. And the Profit Sharing is definitely good.” Thank you, Tamera, for helping us grow by referring People Like You! Your efforts help us build on our culture through like-minded associates, and they put us in position to share an even brighter future together.
