Averitt has added another athletics program to its growing event and production logistics portfolio. The Cookeville, Tennessee based carrier recently began a partnership with Kennesaw State University to support the school’s football operations through dedicated equipment transportation.
The partnership is being handled by Averitt’s On Tour Logistics division, which specializes in moving equipment for sports, entertainment, and live events. Service for Kennesaw State’s football program began earlier this season and is focused on ensuring team equipment is delivered safely and on time throughout the schedule.
“With this partnership, Averitt is proud to provide dependable transportation for Kennesaw State University athletics,” said Danny Crooks, Averitt’s vice president of corporate transportation. “Our team is committed to delivering reliable service that helps support the program’s success both on and off the field.”
Supporting College Athletics Through Specialized Logistics
Under the agreement, Averitt’s On Tour Logistics team is responsible for transporting football equipment as the program continues to expand. The service reflects the increasing role specialized trucking plays in collegiate athletics, where timing, handling, and reliability are critical.
Averitt pointed to its geographic footprint as a key advantage in supporting the partnership.
“With a strong presence across Georgia and throughout the Southeast, Averitt is well-positioned to support Kennesaw State’s team and help ensure their equipment arrives safely and on schedule,” Averitt said. “The company has extensive experience serving athletics programs and other customers across the region.”
Broader Transportation Capabilities Across the Southeast
Beyond event and athletics logistics, Averitt continues to operate a broad transportation network across the Southeast. The company provides over the road and regional less than truckload services for a wide range of customers, including other university programs.
Similar transportation support is already in place for Tennessee Tech University, demonstrating how carriers are increasingly applying traditional freight expertise to specialized and time sensitive moves.
For drivers and carriers, partnerships like this highlight how event logistics and athletics transportation have become a steady segment of specialized freight, requiring coordination, regional knowledge, and dependable execution rather than long haul volume alone.
