Updates for Averitt's Direct Service Area

Our team is currently responding to the after-effects of severe weather throughout our system. All contractual expedited shipments as well as guaranteed service shipments are suspended in the Asheville, NC area until further notice. Emergency shipments will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Due to road closures in East TN and Western NC / SC, Averitt has modified service schedules for both inbound and outbound LTL shipments for these facilities: Asheville, NC; Columbia, SC; Charlotte, NC; Greensboro, NC; Greenville, SC; Hickory, NC; Raleigh, NC; and Charleston, SC.

Many Averitt lanes that previously had next day LTL service will now have two-day service. This change is effective until this notice is removed.

 

There are no facility-specific weather or holiday-related service updates in our direct area for the past 7 days,

NORTH AMERICA LTL NON-DIRECT SERVICE AREA

There are no weather-related service updates within our North America LTL non-direct network for the last 7 days.

FREEZABLE FREIGHT ADVISORY

We want to make sure your shipments are handled properly and arrive to their destination the way you intended.

In regards to freezable freight, please note that Averitt standard LTL/TL does not provide temperature protection. If freight requires protection from freezing, a liability waiver is required and Averitt will take special care to protect it.

  • If your freight is subject to freezing, please make sure “Protect From Freezing” is clearly marked on the bill of lading and packaging.

  • When shipping freight that must be protected from freezing, please download and fill out our Freezable Freight Waiver. More information about our Freezable Freight Policy can be found on our Averitt 100 Rules Tariff, Item 810-50 (for LTL) and 55 (for Truckload).

  • We will not pick up freezable freight in one-day lanes on a Friday (or the day before a holiday), or in multi-day lanes on a Thursday or Friday (or two days before a holiday).

  • We will not pick up freight that is traveling within a service center area with temperature less than 15 degrees.
