Anniversary Video Highlights Averitt’s People-First Culture and Vision for the Future
(UCBJ) — Averitt continues its 55th anniversary celebration this month, marking more than five decades of growth, innovation and service that began in the Upper Cumberland and continues to impact customers and communities across North America. The milestone is being recognized with the release of a special anniversary video that reflects on the company’s history while highlighting the culture and values that will carry it into the future.
What started in 1971 as a small trucking operation has grown into a leading transportation and supply chain provider offering less-than-truckload, truckload, warehousing, international logistics and integrated supply chain solutions. Throughout that growth, Averitt has remained headquartered in Cookeville, where it continues to be one of the Upper Cumberland’s largest employers.
The anniversary video focuses on the company’s future and recognizes associates for their roles in helping to shape Averitt over the past 55 years. It also reinforces the company’s long-standing philosophy, “Our Driving Force Is People,” and its ongoing commitment to investing in associates, technology, facilities and innovation.

“Fifty-five years is an important milestone, but what matters most is the people behind it,” said Gary Sasser, chairman and CEO of Averitt. “Everything we’ve accomplished has been possible because of the associates, customers and communities that have supported us along the way. Our culture has always centered on people, and that foundation gives us tremendous confidence moving forward. We are proud of our past, but we are even more excited about our future.”
As it begins its 56th year, Averitt continues to focus on long-term growth through investments in its people, network infrastructure and technology, while maintaining the values that have guided the company since its earliest days. The anniversary serves as both a celebration of the past and a reminder that the next generation of success will be built on the same principles that have defined Averitt for more than five decades.
