This year, America marks 250 years of independence. Two and a half centuries shaped by people who showed up with purpose, adapted to change, and built things meant to last.
It is a milestone worth pausing on. As we reflect on what has kept this country moving forward, we see many of the same qualities that have guided Averitt through our own 55 years.
We put together a short video to mark both milestones. Take a moment to watch.
Two hundred and fifty years. That's how long this country has been moving forward. Shaped by innovation, creativity, independence, and the drive to keep growing. It's a story built on people, on determination, and on the belief that when you show up with purpose and do things the right way, you can create something that lasts. That spirit is still at work today. You can see it in the people who keep this country running, on the road, on the dock, and behind the scenes, helping businesses grow, communities thrive, and possibilities move forward. It's the spirit that's been driving this country for two hundred and fifty years. And it's the same spirit that's guided Averitt for the last fifty five. You can see it in our team, nearly a quarter of whom have been with us for twenty years or more. You can see it in the associates who've served our country and who continue to bring that same sense of dedication to the work they do every day. At Averitt, we've always looked ahead, remaining independent, focusing on people, strengthening our network, and creating opportunities for what comes next. Because that's how anything enduring is built, over time, with intention and with confidence in what's possible. For two hundred and fifty years, that's what's kept this country moving. And for the last fifty five, we've been proud to be part of it. Hey.
Built to Last
Lasting partnerships are not built quickly. They are earned over time, through consistency and a willingness to invest in the future.
America's story has been defined by generations who built for those who would come after them. Since our founding in 1971, Averitt has taken the same long view. Over 55 years, we have grown our network, expanded our capabilities, and stayed independent through changing markets and evolving technology.
For the businesses we serve, that consistency matters. While much of the freight industry has changed hands and changed direction, Averitt has remained steady, privately held, and focused on the long term. When you partner with us, you are working with a company built to be here for the next chapter of your supply chain, not just the current one.
Powered by People
Behind every shipment, every solution, and every milestone are people.
Our associates are the foundation of everything we do. Drivers, dock associates, mechanics, logistics professionals, and customer service teams each play a role in keeping freight moving and helping customers succeed.
We are especially proud that more than 20 percent of our associates have been with Averitt for 20 years or more. For customers, that experience is something you can feel. It means working with people who understand freight, who know your business, and who have spent careers solving the kinds of challenges your supply chain depends on.
Many of our associates have also served our country through military service. They bring leadership, discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility to their work every day, qualities that strengthen our organization and the customers and communities we serve.
Looking Ahead
One of the qualities that has helped America thrive for 250 years is the willingness to look ahead. Progress takes preparation, and it takes staying true to the values that made success possible in the first place.
That is a philosophy we share. As an independent company, we make decisions that support long-term growth rather than short-term pressure. Whether we are investing in facilities, strengthening our network, or expanding our LTL, Truckload, Dedicated, Distribution & Fulfillment, and Integrated & Global Solutions, the goal is the same: deliver value today while building for what comes next.
We are proud of where we have been. We are even more focused on where we are going, and on bringing the customers we serve along with us.
Proud to Be Part of the Journey
For 250 years, America has moved forward through determination, innovation, and the efforts of people who believed in building something that lasts.
For the last 55 years, Averitt has been proud to be part of that story, and proud to help the businesses we serve keep moving forward too.
As we mark this historic milestone, we are grateful for the customers and associates who make it possible. Their trust and dedication reflect the same spirit that has driven progress for generations, and it is the spirit that will carry us into everything that comes next.
If your business is looking for a transportation and logistics partner with the stability, capabilities, and people to move what's next, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.
One Partner. Endless Possibilities. That's The Power of One.
