KEEPING THE CMA FEST ROLLING: AVERITT’S OTL TAKES THE WHEEL

For over five decades, the CMA Festival has been a cornerstone of Nashville's cultural landscape, celebrating the best of country music and drawing in fans from around the globe. This year’s headliners include the queen of country music herself – Dolly Parton, along with Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, and many others. As the festival continues to evolve, Averitt's On Tour Logistics (OTL) service plays a vital role behind the scenes, ensuring that the festival's logistical needs are met with precision and expertise.

WE’VE GOT FRIENDS IN LOCAL PLACES

"It’s our 10th year supporting the CMA Festival. We’re fortunate to be a part of such a big event for the music industry," said Chris Sheppard, Director of On Tour Logistics Sales at Averitt . "Very few entertainment trucking companies have a local operation – we do more than just the tour, which also sets us apart.” Averitt’s local presence in Nashville is a significant advantage , enabling the team to handle high volumes of freight with fewer drivers. As the festival gears up, Averitt's OTL drivers begin their crucial work 3-5 days ahead of time, depending on the schedule and demand. Their familiarity with Nashville's streets allows them to navigate the city efficiently, ensuring that staging, sound, lighting, and camera equipment are delivered and set up in a timely manner. This logistical efficiency is supported by Averitt's three facilities in the Nashville metropolitan area : a service center, warehouse, and OTL warehouse. From delivering equipment to coordinating setups, Averitt's OTL team plays a crucial role in the behind-the-scenes magic of the CMA Festival, reinforcing Nashville's status as a hub of musical creativity and innovation. As a proud recipient of the Parnelli Award for Trucking Company of the Year , Averitt's commitment to excellence in entertainment logistics is unwavering. We provide customized trucking solutions that meet the unique needs of the entertainment industry, from large-scale festivals to individual artist tours. Our dedication to reliability, efficiency, and top-notch service sets us apart in the field, ensuring that every event we support is a resounding success. Here's to another year of keeping the CMA Fest rolling smoothly and celebrating the music that brings us all together.
