Our Profit Sharing plan is a perfect example of how we Share the Effort, Share the Reward. And your efforts continue to make a difference. In the second quarter, an amount equal to 8.142% of your pay was contributed to your 401(k) retirement accounts. That’s slightly better than our first-quarter total of 7.924%, and it’s close to three times as much as the average match that many companies offer! We’re thankful for all you do to keep us going strong. Your commitment to excellence is why our customers continue to trust us to deliver transportation solutions, and it’s why we continue to perform well as a team. You can help us continue that momentum with the little things you do each day, such as:

• Showing appreciation for our customers, and asking for more business • Handling our customers’ freight as if it were your own • Taking care of our equipment • Avoiding accidents and injuries • Limiting idle time and fuel consumption

FROM GARY SASSER PG. 1 - provider. Another reason for our stability is our team-oriented culture. Regardless of what comes our way, we have an open door of communication that helps us overcome any challenge we face – together. Our success is also driven in part by our Always Averitt plan. This strategy ensures we remain independent and

debt-free, and that our leadership always comes from those who are steeped in the Averitt culture. And it helps us make the best long-term decisions for Our Customers, Our Associates and Our Future. Your dedication, our team culture and our long-term plan continue to deliver success. We’ve experienced record Profit Sharing numbers in recent years, and those results remain

very strong. I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish, because it truly is a team effort. Thank you for making Averitt a team that’s built for the long haul. I’m more excited than ever to see what we can do together in the future.
