RACKING UP THE HONORS
Averitt Recognized With 5 Quest For Quality Awards An important part of our track record for success is a culture of teamwork. And this year’s Quest for Quality Awards demonstrate just how true that is. Because of your commitment to teamwork and the way you deliver outstanding service, we earned an incredible five Quest for Quality Awards! These awards are based on feedback from thousands of customers, and they are announced each year by Logistics Management, one of the most respected and widely read publications in the transportation industry. The winners were determined by criteria such as performance, value, technology, customer service, equipment and operations. This year, we were recognized in the following categories:
“We are honored to be recognized again by the shipping community for our continued dedication to quality and service,” says President and Chief Operating Officer BARRY BLAKELY. “Our team is committed to ensuring reliable and quality service to our customers, and we are eager to continue delivering on that promise.” The 2023 haul marks the 25th consecutive year we have been recognized with at least one Quest for Quality Award. It also represents another step forward in our consistent streak of excellence, after we earned four Quest for Quality Awards in each of the last four years. In fact, no other carrier in the South has earned more Quest for Quality Awards than Averitt! Thank you again for your efforts that make milestones like these a reality. Your dedication truly makes a difference, and our customers continue to take notice!

GROWING FOR THE FUTURE
Charleston Expansion Part Of Our Continuing Commitment
We’re proud of our longtime track record for growth and stability, and one reason we’re able to do that is investing in our facilities and infrastructure. As part of that commitment, we recently expanded our Charleston facility!
The enhancements include an extra 35,000 square feet of warehousing space, as well as additional parking and fuel tanks that will help support 12 new associates. This investment helps us stay prepared for increased demand for bills moving in and out of the Port of Charleston. When we can accommodate more demand from our customers, we’re able to build more density in our core footprint and move more freight throughout our network! “Expansion in port cities like Charleston is always a plus, not only for Averitt but for both our current and potential customers, as well as the port authorities themselves,” explains ED SMITH,
our Vice President of Distribution & Fulfillment. “The South Carolina State Port Authority has been an incredible partner for Averitt, and as we expand and grow, so does their ability to attract more import and export container volumes, knowing they have an extremely qualified carrier that can ensure these containers are processed in a safe and timely manner.” Charleston Service Center Director JEREMY CRAWFORD is also excited about the possibilities that are available at his facility. “One, we have more space that allows us to bring on more volume with our existing customers,” he says. “Also, it helps us be able to expand to other customers that maybe in the
past we had to tell them no because we didn’t have room. We’re able to open it back up to them and bring them on board.” The Port of Charleston is one of
the nation’s most strategic logistics hubs, so we’re thrilled to see how this investment helps us meet the needs of our customers now and keep us strong for the future. T m
