VIRCO + AVERITT = PERFECT FIT
Partnership Started With LTL, Has Grown Into Many Services
This partnership has been a tremendous example of The Power of One, starting with LTL and growing into Dedicated, Truckload, Expedited and International services. Paul Gall of Virco’s logistics leadership is thankful for our commitment to being able to deliver innovative and creative services. “We’re a little bit unique in that we’re more of a business-to-consumer model,” Paul explains. “The touch points that we have are with the consumer and not necessarily with a professional warehouse operation. Averitt has taken the time to understand that and to communicate that with its associates.” Something else that stands out about our relationship is the professionalism we show. “The appearance of Averitt’s drivers is very important,” says Maggie McClellan of Virco’s logistics team. “They all have uniforms, and they’re clean and neat. That goes a long way, especially in delivering to schools where there are children involved. We want the best appearance we can get, and Averitt delivers that.” Over the past 15 years, we’ve built a strong relationship with Virco, a school furniture producer located in Conway, AR.

It all comes down to building trust, according to Region 2 vice president MIKE MONIN . “Just like in life, people do business with others that they like and trust,” he says. “Trust is vital to growing your business, retaining that business, and helping you get through the challenges that come along the way.” Paul says the trust that Virco has in our team will be important to making our partnership even stronger for the future. “The openness and the trust that we’ve built over the last 15 years has allowed us the freedom that if we’re facing challenges, we can turn to Averitt and Averitt will have the right team provide a solution,” Paul says. “That open collaboration allows us both to understand the growth opportunities, the pain points we face, and finding solutions as we go forward. And that’s going to serve both companies very well.” To see more about our partnership with Virco, go to Blog.AverittExpress.com/Virco . T m
