Averitt is seeking elite drivers to join our award-winning On Tour Logistics team, where entertainment driving meets the thrill of the open road. Our drivers are responsible for transporting essential gear for artists, including stage equipment, sound systems, and lighting, ensuring that every event runs smoothly and efficiently. This role is not just about driving; it’s about being part of the excitement that comes with the entertainment industry. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to travel across all 48 contiguous states and Canada, participating in tours that can last anywhere from 10 days to 10 months, and production runs that typically last between 7 to 21 days. This position offers a unique 'irregular route' driving experience, which means no two days are the same, and you will be challenged to adapt to various driving conditions and venue requirements. In addition to the thrill of the job, we offer competitive pay starting at $1,800 per week, with opportunities for growth and additional earnings when not on tour. Our drivers are expected to assist in loading and unloading trailers, securing loads with bars and straps, and demonstrating excellent backing skills, especially in venues with unique unloading arrangements. The role primarily involves night driving, which adds to the excitement of the job. We are committed to providing our drivers with a supportive work environment, including a personal conveyance policy, uniform allotment, and a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and hearing insurance. After 30 days of employment, drivers will also enjoy 8 paid holidays and paid time off after 90 days. At Averitt, we believe in rewarding our drivers for their hard work and dedication. Our profit-sharing program allows drivers to receive monthly direct deposits into their retirement accounts, and our Red Thinkin' Rewards program offers exciting gifts and incentives. We are proud to have a diverse workforce, and we encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
