THE POWER OF DELIVERING MORE. Over the past five decades, our associates have built a unique culture of giving back to our communities – and in the process established an extraordinary tradition of helping those in need.
We refer to these efforts as Delivering More – coming together as a team to do good in the world. “Delivering More” means bringing compassion, caring, and support to our neighbors, communities, kids, and planet. Whether through financial contributions, community volunteering, uniform recycling, or environmental advocacy, our associates take an active role in bettering the world around them. Since 1986, Averitt has donated over $15 million to charitable organizations. Last year alone, Averitt contributed $1,500,001 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through our nonprofit organization Averitt Cares for Kids, which is funded by our associates and through company matches in recognition of our associates’ milestones and community service. Also last year, our associates contributed over 18,700 hours of community service and helped more than 200 organizations through our Team Up Community Challenge program. That’s 8,000 hours more than the previous record set in 2022, bringing the total hours to over 70,000 and total organizations to 1,145 since 2011. These programs and others exemplify Averitt’s commitment to giving back to our communities.
Because even though we’re a transportation company, our primary cargo is caring.
That’s what Delivering More is all about.
