Team Matters - No. 6 - 2024

In his 25-plus years with Averitt, Little Rock city driver KIRK PERKINS has experienced a culture that he’s thankful for. Because of that experience, Kirk has made lots of People Like You referrals, and at least five have been hired by our team. “I just think I work for a great company,” Kirk says. “And when I see great people, I want them to be a part of it.” Most of Kirk’s referral success has come by using a keen eye along his route. “If I see someone who has good character, is intelligent and is working hard, I always ask them if they’re looking for another job,” Kirk explains. “I’m just looking for people who I think would fit in at Averitt.” When he finds a potential teammate, Kirk simply shares how we value people. “My sales pitch is: we’ve got good equipment, we dress sharp, the insurance is awesome, our leadership is strong, and our facilities are great,” Kirk says. “And we work for a great man in Mr. Sasser. I tell them how when I got married, he sent me a handwritten letter. On my 20- and 25-year service anniversaries, he called me and we talked. You’re more than just a number here at Averitt.” When a referral shows interest, Kirk provides his contact information and ‘MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER HERE’ Little Rock Associate Refers Top-Notch People On His Route
