COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - As one way to say thank you to associates for their efforts that have made 2021 an outstanding year, Averitt Express recently celebrated "Operation: Thank You Week" with events taking place at facilities throughout its network. 

"Operation: Thank You Week" included daily drawings for prizes such as grills, tents, fire pits, patio furniture and other summer items. Additionally, facilities hosted their own giveaways, drawings, food trucks, grab-and-go meals and more. 

"Our associates' efforts have simply been incredible," said Barry Blakely, Averitt's vice president of operations. "We have seen increased freight levels, and areas of our network continue to face challenges resulting from COVID-19.
