CELEBRATING THE BEST TEAM
Driver Appreciation Week Sept. 15-21
Driver Appreciation Week is one of our favorite times of the year because it’s one of the ways we celebrate the best team in the industry. This year’s event is scheduled for Sept. 15-21, and during that time facilities throughout our network will have cookouts, giveaways and other festivities.
Additionally, as has been the case for several years, we’ll have drawings for prizes such as gift certificates, Red Thinkin’ Rewards points and more. And five lucky over-the-road drivers will have their names entered in a drawing for an assignment of a brand-new Freightliner! Each day during Driver Appreciation Week, we’ll update our special Driver Appreciation Week homepage to let you know who won our daily drawings. So be sure to check out InsideAveritt.com/DAW2024 to see if you won any prizes, and we can’t wait to celebrate this special time with you! T m
ROOM TO GROW Knoxville Dock Expansion Puts Us In Strong Position For The Future
Golf Tournament Set For Aug. 31 In Cookeville We have lots of facilities enhancements taking place throughout our network, and those projects are all about preparing us for what's ahead while at the same time giving associates the best possible quality of life on the job. One important project in the works is a dock expansion at our Knoxville service center. We anticipate the enhancement will be completed by early 2025, and it will add 56 doors, giving us a total of 154. “This addition is for the future,” says Knoxville Service Center Director JEFF PENLEY, “and it will put us in position to always be a solutions provider for our customers moving forward.” Region 1 Vice President BRYAN SNYDER says the
project will also positively affect multiple services. “With the expansion, we are well positioned for future growth within our LTL and pool distribution markets,” Bryan explains. “The Knoxville service center processes approximately 1.9 million pounds per day, and this expansion will give us plenty of capacity well into the future. The dock is going from 60 feet to 80 feet wide, which will give us ample space for staging freight during our inbound city operation.” We’re excited to see what’s in store for our Knoxville team as this enhancement gets closer to completion. Because with added space and the best associates in the industry, we’ll be able to move more freight In And Out Of The South through this key market! T m
ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD WITH FACILITIES
Our facilities enhancements all boil down to putting our core beliefs into action. That includes our commitment to Always Averitt. We recently released a video that shows how our investments are setting us up for a brighter future, and you can watch the video at InsideAveritt.com/FacilitiesWhy.
