At Averitt, we often talk about the "Power of One." It's our way of saying that, no matter what, we are one team working toward one goal—to deliver outstanding service for our customers, support our associates, and build a strong future. But what drives us forward every single day? It's our team of dedicated drivers, who are the true heart of Averitt.
Our drivers are more than just the people behind the wheel; they are the driving force of our entire team’s success. In this video, we celebrate Driver Appreciation Week by highlighting the dedication and hard work of the men and women who keep our customers’ supply chains moving every day.
Watch as we reflect on the importance of their commitment, the value they bring to our customers, and why they truly embody the Power of One at Averitt.
Our Drivers: The Backbone of Customer Success
Behind every successful delivery is a driver who goes above and beyond. Averitt drivers aren't just moving freight; they’re representing our company, building relationships with our customers, and ensuring that every shipment is handled with care.
In Theodore, Alabama, our driver Tommy went the extra mile during some rough weather conditions. Stephanie, a customer from Theodore, AL, expressed:
These stories remind us why we celebrate our drivers during Driver Appreciation Week. Their professionalism, dedication to safety, and commitment to customer service make a real difference in the lives of our customers and the success of their businesses.
More Than Just Delivering Freight
Whether it’s braving tough weather conditions or ensuring every step of the delivery process is smooth, our drivers play a crucial role in ensuring our customers' supply chains run efficiently. Another shining example is Danzel from Ocean Springs, MO. Bea, a longtime customer, shared her gratitude for his continued dedication:
The trust and relationships built between our drivers and our customers go beyond transactional freight delivery. Our drivers embody the power of going above and beyond, fostering trust and creating value for our customers.
Why We Celebrate Driver Appreciation Week
Driver Appreciation Week is about more than acknowledging the miles our drivers log—it's about celebrating the impact they have on every customer interaction and every supply chain they support. Each mile driven by our team is a mile toward customer success, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
So this week, and every week, we want to say a big thank you to all our drivers. You are our driving force, the embodiment of our Power of One, and we couldn’t achieve our goals without you.
Thank you for making a difference every day—on the road, with our customers, and within our team.
