COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — For the second consecutive year, Averitt Express has been honored by Dollar General as its LTL Carrier of the Year.

The retailer’s award was based on several criteria, including on-time service and providing innovative solutions to the supply chain.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to recognize the standout performance of Averitt Express and congratulate them on receiving Dollar General’s 2016 LTL Carrier of the Year award,” said Jason Smith, Dollar General’s director of inbound transportation. “Carrier relationships, like the one between Dollar General and Averitt Express, are absolutely critical to the success of our company’s mission to serve others, and we look forward to continuing to grow and strengthen our relationship with Averitt Express.”
