Attendee Testimonials
Amber Eans, Neotek Lighting: "We do predominant LTL shipments, so getting to come here and getting to meet those areas that we haven't been able to connect with, like International Shipping, Averitt Connect, full truckload, and talking to the individuals about how we can advance at our company with shipping and making it simplistic. The Averitt Expo has been great for connecting us with the people that we didn't have connections with before."
Lillian Valley, Navistar: "One of the things that I'm excited about, we talked to International about Mexico and Canada. Mexico, it's really growing for us. We have a lot of shipments that go in and out of Mexico to the point where we went from LTL, now we want to put our Mexico shipments on truckload, which is really helping us, and it's really better for our operation. But we also talk to some people in International, because there are times we have a lot of international shipments that are oversized and it's more difficult to get a smaller carrier to take those items for us. I'm excited about that."
The Averitt Expo was a testament to the power of connecting with experts and leveraging comprehensive logistics solutions. Stay tuned for future events and opportunities to enhance your supply chain with Averitt’s support.
