At Averitt, we have a longstanding reputation for safety. From our modern equipment decked out with the latest safety technology to company-wide safety initiatives, our drivers are committed to safe driving, and one of the biggest risks to this is encountering distracted drivers on the road. Here’s the need-to-know info on distracted driving and the top tips for avoiding it.

The Averitt team is proud to support our associates in safe driving practices. With the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) International Roadcheck quickly approaching, here are some of the ways you can make your 2023 roadside inspection a breeze all while upping your safety in the driver’s seat.

Averitt has been recognized by Viqtory as one of the most military friendly employers in the country for 2023, marking the seventh time we have received this acknowledgement. Averitt has also received the Military Spouse Friendly Employers® award from Viqtory this year. We are thrilled to have received these honors and are proud of our Averitt military veterans and their spouses.

We’re always focused on letting our Averitt associates know how much we appreciate all they do every day of the year, but during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW), we get a special opportunity to honor our drivers even more.

Sometimes people hear that Averitt has a uniform and image policy and they think they can’t join us because they have tattoos or a beard or something. That’s a myth! We allow a lot of room for personal expression and individuality while adhering to a high standard for professionalism. Let’s get the real story on what our professional image policy covers and how YOU can join us too!

At Averitt, we love it when our associates have an opportunity to show their skills, and recently, several associates tested their abilities at the Tennessee Trucking Association’s Technical Skills and Driving Competitions and brought home awards to prove it!

Join Averitt associate Chris Yohn as he takes over our social media this week through stories to bring you insights on what it's like to be an Averitt driver. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

When Averitt says we listen to our drivers, we mean it. In fact, we ask our Driver Advisory Council for input on pretty much everything.

In 2021, Averitt Express has a lot to celebrate. Last month, we joined the nation in recognizing the hard work of our truck drivers during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW). And we put a 50th anniversary spin on it!
