Averitt recently completed several facility upgrades at its corporate campus and Driver Support Center.
Averitt’s Wellness Center, which originally opened in 2010, is an on-site health clinic exclusively designed for Averitt associates, spouses, and dependents. Medical professionals at the Wellness Center provide various health services, including acute and primary care, wellness and health promotion, health coaching, disease management, medication dispensing, and technology to support the delivery of care and coaching. Services are provided at no cost to Averitt associates and their families, covered by the company’s health insurance.
Averitt completely renovated the building to allow for expanded services for its associates.
“The enhanced Wellness Center is part of our ongoing commitment to invest in our team and provide comprehensive care and support for our associates,” said Elise Leeson, Averitt’s VP of human resources. “In addition to having more space, we've also increased our staff, adding behavioral health services and physical therapists, further investing in the holistic health of our people.”

Averitt has also expanded the outdoor recreation area located at its corporate campus. The area features new amenities such as:

- Putting greens
- Shaded outdoor seating areas
“These new outdoor amenities are designed to help our team unwind, recharge, and maintain a healthy work-life balance,” Leeson added.
The company has also recently opened a new Driver Support Center at its Cookeville-area service center.
The expansion will allow Averitt to provide over-the-road drivers with the comforts of home, including a lounge, exercise and break areas, showers, and laundry machines. The company operates 18 other similar facilities for its 4,000-plus drivers throughout the country.
Additionally, the Cookeville-area maintenance shop has been updated with a new office and breakroom, an updated parts room, and new bathrooms, further enhancing the working environment for the company’s maintenance professionals.
