Hey, everyone. My name is Chris Yawn, and I'll be taking over Averitt social media this week. Since joining Averitt back in two thousand fourteen, I've become quite popular around here. I've been on several Averitt flyers. I have been on a Averitt podcast. I've got a guest in here today. Hadn't been with with us on a podcast before. I've got Chris Yawn. How are you doing, Chris? Doing good. I've been featured on an Averitt promotional video. My name is Chris Yawn, and I started at Averitt in two thousand fourteen. Well, the reason that I And I even earned a space on the driver advisory council, which is a small group of drivers kinda like the knights of the round table that's it it meets up and solves to resolve problems that we have in our company and come up with solutions to, resolve those problems. I'm not gonna say I'm the best person for the job, but if the boot fits. Right? What? I can't what? I can't wear this? How about the sword? Can I keep the sword? Hey. Can I keep alright? Anyway, come with me for a week, and I'll be giving you some insight of what it's like as an Averitt driver. You'll be riding along with me for the whole week. I'll be taking pictures of things that I do and little video clips of what I do. So, hopefully, you enjoy the ride. And if you have any questions, please comment below or ask questions or, you know, whatever. We will be monitoring that. I will be monitoring that, and I'll do my best to help you out. Alright? See you soon.
