‘YOU GET A GUT FEELING’

Orlando City Driver Trusts His Instincts With Referrals DAMIEN CAMACHO has helped bring several associates to Averitt over the last couple of years through People Like You referrals. That success has been aided by strong instincts that help him know who will be a good teammate. “Whenever you’re referring somebody, you get a gut feeling whether that person is somebody you would want to work with,” explains Damien, who is an Orlando city driver. “It’s like looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing the reflection in the other person. If that person looks like you and is motivated, I go with that feeling. And it’s worked so far.” Damien has been with Averitt for about two years, initially coming here as a member of our PODS team.

You’re not just a number.” Thank you, Damien, for referring like-minded people to Averitt. Your efforts help us deliver excellence today and keep our culture strong for the future!
