‘DO THE BEST JOB I CAN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS’ Frontline Leader Started Averitt Career As Truckload Driver One thing Atlanta East frontline leader CLETIES MACK has seen in his Averitt career is that people are always willing to help each other. That team culture has helped Cleties experience career growth in nearly eight years with Averitt, and it’s why he continues to do his best in whatever role he’s in. Cleties came to Averitt in 2014 as a Truckload driver in Tampa. In 2017, he transferred to our Costco dedicated team, where he stayed through the middle of 2019.

Address the role that you’re in now, and undoubtedly someone will notice.” RE ADY TO TAKE YOUR NE X T STEP ?
