Averitt Named on Forbes List of America's Best-in-State Employers 2023

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Averitt, a leading transportation and logistics company based in Cookeville, Tenn., proudly announces its inclusion on the Forbes list of America's Best-in-State Employers for 2023. Averitt has received this award in both North Carolina and Tennessee. This accolade is presented by Forbes in partnership with Statista Inc., a renowned statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

Forbes and Statista surveyed 70,000 workers at companies with a minimum of 500 employees across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Participants were asked to recommend their employers to others and evaluate various aspects, including working conditions, diversity, compensation packages, potential for development, and overall company image. Averitt stood out in this rigorous, employee-based evaluation, showcasing the company's commitment to sustaining a positive work environment for its employees. The recognition is a testament to Averitt's dedication to fostering a workplace that values diversity, offers competitive compensation packages, and provides opportunities for professional growth and development. Averitt has thrived through dynamic industry changes and economic shifts for over 52 years. Sixteen percent of associates have dedicated over two decades to the company, exemplifying the enduring commitment and loyalty within the organization.

"We are honored to be recognized as one of America's Best-in-State Employers by Forbes and Statista. Our commitment to our people goes beyond words; it is reflected in our actions and our continued efforts to create a workplace that fosters growth, inclusivity, and success," said Elise Leeson, Averitt's vice president of human resources.

Averitt's commitment to creating a positive work environment for its employees played a pivotal role in earning this recognition. The company has implemented several initiatives to enhance the employee experience that are of tangible value to employees, including promoting from within, offering top-tier pay packages, Profit Sharing Plan, and a robust benefits program. This recognition highlights Averitt's ongoing investment in cutting-edge facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, incorporating the most advanced safety technology available. Averitt offers over 100 secure facilities in 21 states, including thousands of parking spots, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its dedicated workforce.
