Farmers farm out trucking to Averitt
Averitt Express will provide dedicated freight transportation for the Tennessee Farmers Co-op, the Cookeville, Tenn.-based trucking company said. Averitt will haul produce to distribution centers and retail centers.
The Farmers Co-op previously operated its own private fleet, but the seasonality of its freight shipments led the company to outsource its trucking operations.
“It was difficult to have enough transportation resources during peak times. During the slowest times, we had too many resources and were looking for a way to use them,” Gary Lowe, the Co-ops logistics manager said in a statement.
