Less-than-truckload carrier Averitt announced it has partnered with Best Overnite Express for service coverage in the West.
The addition of Irwindale, California-based Best Overnite to Averitt’s network of partner carriers is expected to improve service and transit times for customers shipping freight to and from the West Coast.
Best Overnite provides direct coverage in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. It will now have access to Averitt’s robust South and Southeast network of 143 terminals.
Averitt said the partnership reflects its “longstanding approach to delivering consistent, high-quality service through a network of carefully vetted carrier partners.” Averitt is consistently listed as a top-five LTL carrier in Mastio & Co.’s annual value and loyalty survey.
“The addition of Best Overnite Express further strengthens this network, enhancing Averitt’s ability to provide seamless LTL solutions across the country while maintaining the service standards customers expect,” a Wednesday news release said.
Cookeville, Tennessee-based Averitt provides a full suite of freight transportation (including truckload, dedicated, and distribution and fulfillment) and supply chain management services. The company operates a fleet of roughly 5,000 tractors and 15,000 trailers.
“This partnership is a win for customers on both sides of the country,” said Kent Williams, Averitt executive vice president of sales and marketing, in a news release. “Best Overnite’s local expertise and commitment to reliable service align well with our values, and we’re excited to offer a stronger, more seamless shipping experience coast to coast.”
