Updates for Averitt's Direct Service Area
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.
See below for specific weather or holiday-related service updates from the past 7 days.
Due to hazardous weather conditions throughout our network, freight may be delayed in multiple locations.
Due to winter weather and dangerous road conditions, our partner facilities in these areas will have limited operations on Monday, January 6, 2025.
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.
Please continue to visit Averitt.com for more facility/service updates.
If you have questions about your shipment, you may contact our call center 24 hours a day by calling 1-800-AVERITT (283-7488) or use the online features available on this site.
