COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Averitt has been named the "Best Place to Work" in the Herald Citizen's 2024 Readers' Choice Awards. This recognition, voted on by members of the Cookeville community, reflects the company's dedication to providing a positive and supportive environment for its associates and drivers in the Cookeville area.
Recent facility upgrades at Averitt’s Cookeville headquarters, including the new driver support center and enhancements to the corporate wellness center, have further strengthened the company's commitment to associate well-being. The driver support center features a lounge, exercise areas, and other comforts for over-the-road drivers, while the wellness center provides expanded healthcare options and outdoor fitness areas.
"We are honored to be recognized as the Best Place to Work in the Cookeville community," said Kent Williams, executive vice president of sales and marketing. "As a key part of Averitt's roots, Cookeville holds a special place in our history, and we're proud to continue contributing to the community."
As Averitt celebrates this honor, the company also celebrated Driver Appreciation Week last week, continuing its tradition of recognizing and celebrating the essential role drivers play in the success of the company and the industry as a whole.
