Introducing Averitt’s Sixth Service Unit: Critter-Assisted Reliable Transport

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Averitt, known for its five transportation and logistics service units, is proud to introduce its latest advancement in transportation: CART - Critter-Assisted Reliable Transport, a revolutionary service unit that harnesses the natural instincts and untamed speed of the animal kingdom to ensure seamless freight delivery. This innovative logistics solution brings together a diverse and highly trained workforce of carrier pigeons, mules, sled dogs, African and European swallows, and even retired storks looking for a second career.

“With CART, we’re going back to the basics—no fuel costs, no traffic jams, just nature’s finest logistics professionals handling your freight,” said Buck Neighson, vice president of herd logistics. “From mountainous terrain to icy tundras, we have the perfect animal for the job.”

CART is engineered for maximum efficiency, whether it’s a flock of carrier pigeons ensuring last-mile delivery of lightweight packages, mules tackling rugged terrain with ease, or a team of sled dogs dashing through winter conditions to meet critical deadlines. And for overseas shipments? African and European swallows work in tandem to provide transcontinental delivery solutions (coconut transport is optional). Meanwhile, former storks, once dedicated to baby deliveries, have found a new calling—handling fragile shipments with precision honed over years of delicate cargo experience.

Sustainability is at the core of CART, offering a truly green logistics solution. By utilizing animal-powered transportation, CART eliminates carbon emissions associated with traditional freight movement. Every delivery is fueled by nature, reducing environmental impact while maintaining efficiency. Additionally, all members of the unit operate on a fully organic diet, ensuring a minimal ecological hoofprint.

As part of Averitt’s Power of One solution, CART seamlessly integrates with the company’s existing services to provide a truly comprehensive supply chain solution. To learn more about how CART is redefining logistics with the power of nature, visit Averitt.com/CART.
