Team Matters - No. 4 - 2025

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

CRACKER BARREL PUTS FAITH IN OUR TEAM The way you deliver outstanding service to our customers makes a difference, and it’s something that keeps us strong for the future. Cracker Barrel recently showed its appreciation for our efforts by awarding us additional business! As part of the renewal, our driving force of about 40 associates will deliver retail goods to Cracker Barrel stores. Additionally, Cracker Barrel will use our Averitt Enterprise transportation management system, making it a Power of One solution. “We have a long-standing, 20-plus-year relationship that’s built on trust,” says Dedicated Director of Operations CLINT EDEN . “Cracker Barrel is kind of a marquee account in Dedicated and certainly one of the top partnerships we have in the company. This partnership also generates more opportunities for our associates because it adds more freight into our network." BY OUR POWERS COMBINED... One aspect that makes us unique is the multiple service solutions we offer. That came in handy last fall and winter for our Cracker Barrel account.

To see what Cracker Barrel has to say about their partnership with our team, visit InsideAveritt.com/CrackerBarrel

The account normally features about 40 drivers, but during a period of increased demand, several of our On Tour Logistics drivers were able to chip in during what would normally be the off-season for the production and events industry. The result was a seamless transition that built Cracker Barrel’s trust in us even more. “The dedication of our associates is the reason we’ve earned this renewal,” Clint says. “That’s what the Power of One looks like in practice. It’s why our relationship with Cracker Barrel remains strong and will continue to be for years to come.” T m

HEROES TO THE RESCUE Have You Sent In Children’s Art Calendar Submissions?

We’ve already received quite a few Children’s Art Calendar submissions, and they’re a wonderful reminder of the talented child (and grandchild) artists we have throughout our network! Remember that the theme for the 2026 Children’s Art Calendar is Our Heroes Wear Red. And we want to see what it means to your children or grandchildren when we say that familiar phrase. To enter, have your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) who are younger than 18 draw a picture horizontally on an 8 ½” x 11” piece of paper. We’ll choose the best entries for the 2026 calendar, and the young artist whose picture is chosen for the cover will get a $100 gift card ! The others featured in the calendar will get $50 gift cards , and every child who enters the art contest will receive a $10 gift card . The deadline for art calendar entries is Thursday, July 31, 2025 . For more information about the contest, visit InsideAveritt.com/Calendar . T m
