Fifty-Five Years Strong – and Just Getting Started A culture rooted in people and strengthened by innovation As we mark our 55th anniversary in 2026, one principle continues to guide every mile we travel: Our Driving Force is People . It’s a philosophy that shaped our earliest days and continues to steer our future. And while this anniversary is a meaningful milestone, it is far more than a celebration of years. It’s a testament to the strength of our team, the vision we share, and the path we’re forging together. PEOPLE AT THE HEART OF EVERY STEP FORWARD From day one, we've believed that our success begins with people. That’s why we’re proud of the positive impact created through our Profit Sharing plan, which helps our associates build a secure future, and Averitt Charities, which supports the communities we serve. Investing in our people means investing in the future. We continue to enhance our training programs, expand career pathways, and create new opportunities for associates to grow. Whether it’s supporting a dock associate pursuing a driving career, a driver stepping into leadership, or a team member moving into a new field entirely, we remain committed to helping associates achieve their goals. Because when associates succeed, our team succeeds. And when our team succeeds, our customers thrive. BUILDING FOR THE NEXT 55 YEARS Looking ahead, our vision is focused on strength, adaptability and innovation. We know the transportation and supply chain industries are rapidly evolving, and we’re committed to evolving right alongside them. That’s why we continue making significant investments in these key areas: • Infrastructure – From service center enhancements to expanding our distribution and fulfillment footprint, we are strategically growing to increase density and deliver even greater consistency, speed, and reliability.
• Technology – Innovative tools and digital solutions are helping us streamline operations, enhance safety, and give customers more visibility and control than ever before. These investments allow our team to deliver solutions that meet modern supply chain challenges. • Creative, Customer-Centered Solutions – Our customers depend on us to anticipate their needs and provide flexible, comprehensive options. Our commitment to partnership drives us to continually explore new ways to deliver value, connect networks, and simplify logistics. Each of these investments is designed to create more opportunities for our associates, more opportunities for our customers, and more opportunities for our long-term growth. INDEPENDENCE THAT KEEPS US MOVING FORWARD Remaining privately held has always been an intentional decision, and it continues to set us apart. Independence gives us the freedom to make decisions based on long-term vision rather than short-term pressures. It allows us to stay true to our culture, maintain stability through changing economic cycles, and prioritize what matters most: Our Customers , Our Associates , and Our Future . A FUTURE BUILT ON STRENGTH, CULTURE, AND TEAMWORK As we celebrate 55 years, our eyes are firmly on the road ahead. The achievements of our past have created a strong foundation, and it’s our team that inspires confidence in the future. Averitt’s culture – grounded in teamwork, integrity, and a shared commitment to excellence – positions us to continue leading in an ever-changing industry. The best part? We’re just getting started. With a team as dedicated and talented as ours, an unwavering focus on people, and a strategy built around meaningful investments, we are well positioned not only for 2026, but for every year that follows. Our Driving Force is People . It always has been. And it always will be. T m
