COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (April 8, 2010) — Averitt Express, a leading provider of freight transportation and supply chain management, recently announced major LTL service improvements in thousands of lanes.

As a result of its recent network optimization efforts, Averitt has improved its service in 14,000 lanes, resulting in faster transit times. In addition, Averitt estimates that about 86 million pounds of freight moving throughout its network will receive less handling, allowing the carrier to deliver an even higher quality of service to its customers.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 25, 2010) — The associates of Averitt Express recently presented St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with a donation of $350,000 during a formal event held at the hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

The monetary gift, which was collected entirely from Averitt associate contributions during 2009, marks the 17th annual donation from “Averitt Cares for Kids” to St. Jude.
