Overview
Averitt is an asset-based transportation and supply chain company headquartered in Cookeville, Tennessee. Founded in 1971, it operates a network of more than 100 service centers — with particular density across the southern United States — and serves shippers in industries such as retail, manufacturing, automotive, and healthcare.
Averitt's services span LTL (including standard, expedited, and guaranteed-by-noon options), full truckload (dry van and flatbed), dedicated fleet, intermodal, drayage, temperature-controlled transport, and cross-border shipping to and from Canada and Mexico. It also offers warehousing, distribution, pool distribution, final mile, and international ocean and air forwarding. Its fleet consists of modern, company-owned tractors and trailers operated by company drivers.
Shippers commonly turn to Averitt for LTL freight, where its Southeast network is especially strong, as well as for truckload, dedicated, and distribution services that benefit from the company's single-provider model. Averitt is a practical fit for companies that want to consolidate LTL, truckload, warehousing, and international forwarding under one carrier to simplify their supply chain.
