FROM GARY SASSER PG. 1 last year and a half show exactly what the Averitt team is made of. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, a lot of our competitors stopped their associate programs. Public companies canceled their profit sharing. Because we’re independent and we don’t have to answer to Wall Street, we continued to contribute Profit Sharing
to associates’ accounts, and we had record Profit Sharing in the first half of this year. Because we work together as a team, we also share the reward, and I’m extremely proud of that. We believe 50 years is just the beginning. That’s why we’re committed to investing in the best for the long haul. That investment comes in many forms, including wages, Profit
Sharing, benefits, and state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. We like to say, “We’re proud of our past and even more excited about our future,” and that’s because our future is very bright. Focusing on the future is one of our core values. We know that every day, we’re going to face more challenges. And we can overcome them as long as
we stay true to the commitments that we started with from Day 1. Thank you again for making us the best team in the business. I’m very blessed and thankful to be part of this team, and I look forward to many more successful years and milestones together.
