Post Date - Oct 12, 2026

At Averitt, building a great career means having the support, opportunities and resources to go as far as you want. We're excited to share that our commitment to creating that environment has earned us national recognition once again.

Averitt has been named a 2026 Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation by the Women In Trucking Association (WIT), earning a place among the program’s prestigious Elite 30!

This recognition reflects what we work toward every day: creating a workplace where women have opportunities to build rewarding, long-term careers, both behind the wheel and throughout our organization.

What Does It Mean to Be Among the Elite 30?

Each year, the Women In Trucking Association recognizes companies that demonstrate a commitment to making transportation a rewarding career choice for women. The selection process considers important workplace qualities, including supportive company cultures, competitive compensation, benefits, work-life balance, training and opportunities for career advancement.

Companies are also evaluated through industry voting, with the 30 companies receiving the highest number of votes earning a place in the Elite 30. Being recognized among this group is especially meaningful because it reflects the value the transportation community places on creating workplaces where women can succeed.

For Averitt, it's an honor that reinforces our commitment to providing opportunities and supporting our associates throughout their careers.

Building Careers With More Possibilities

A rewarding career looks different for everyone. Some associates want a dependable driving position that provides more time at home. Others are looking for opportunities to develop new skills, take on additional responsibilities or move into leadership. At Averitt, we believe those choices matter.

Our driving opportunities include local, dedicated and regional positions, providing a variety of schedules and career paths to fit different goals and lifestyles.

And opportunities don't stop behind the wheel. Our promote-from-within philosophy encourages associates to explore new roles, develop professionally and continue growing within the company.

Whether an associate is building a career on the road or exploring opportunities in operations and leadership, our goal is to provide a foundation for long-term success.

Support That Makes a Difference on the Road

For women pursuing professional driving careers, the right equipment, facilities and support can make a meaningful difference in their daily experience. That's why Averitt places a strong emphasis on safety, comfort and convenience throughout our network.

Our associates have access to more than 100 service centers across 21 states, with amenities designed to make time on the road more comfortable. Depending on the location, these include private showers, washers and dryers, exercise rooms and secure parking areas.

Our facilities also feature security measures such as automated ID access, cameras and on-site personnel. We provide modern, well-maintained equipment and uniforms tailored for female associates.

These investments reflect a simple belief: When associates have the resources and support they need, they can focus on doing their jobs safely and confidently.

Recognizing the Women Who Help Move Averitt Forward

While we're excited about this award, the people behind it are what make the recognition meaningful. Women contribute to Averitt's success in a wide range of roles, from professional driving and operations to customer service, administration and leadership. Their experience, dedication and perspectives help strengthen our team and the service we provide to customers every day.

Since 1971, Averitt has grown by investing in its people and building a culture centered on teamwork, respect and opportunity. That commitment continues as we look toward the future and create more opportunities for associates to build careers they can be proud of.

To the women who are part of the Averitt team today, thank you for the contributions you make every day. This recognition belongs to you, too.
