EMBROIDERY
Putting on a uniform
is a big deal. It
shows that you’re
committed to quality
and excellence. And
when that uniform is
Averitt Red, it means
that you’re the face of
a team that puts pride
in going above and
beyond the call of duty
for our customers.
I’m proud to put on the
same colors as you, to
represent the culture
and values that have
been the Averitt calling
card since 1971. After
all, when it comes
to professionalism,
customer service and
teamwork, we’re All In.
ALL IN
Simply put, there’s no “halfway” in the Averitt world.
We’re in it for the long haul. Literally and figuratively.
And that goes for each and every one of us.
But a culture like that doesn’t just happen. It’s borne of the kind
of passionate, dedicated people we’re proud to call our family.
On a team like ours, where everyone is committed to the same
goals and vision of success, it’s easy to draw strength from one
another. And easy to take pride in what each of us does on a daily
basis to move the company forward.
We never lose sight of the fact that to your customers and the
world at large, you are Averitt. You’re the face of our company. Which is why we’re committed to giving you the best resources
and gear we possibly can.
Because when it comes to showing our pride in having you as
team members…
WE’RE ALL IN.

EVERY COACH KNOWS THAT
A deep bench is the key to
better performance.
By keeping enough of these essential uniform items
on hand, you can help your clothes last longer and
look better. We suggest you always have the following:
five shirts, five pairs of pants, two hats, at least one
outerwear item, a pair of black shoes, a pack of socks,
one belt, and a pair of gloves.
So ensure that you’re always ready for action, while
making the most of your uniform allowance.

These clothes represent far more
than just Averitt. They showcase
your pride in what you do. So here
are a few handy references to give
them the care they deserve.
25
uniform care
Make sure your clothes are in
it for the long haul as well.
PRODUCTIVITY CAN BE MESSY.
So here are a few tips on removing some of the
most common stains.
Taking proper care of your clothes will help them last
substantially longer.
Grease & Oil
Blot any excess with a napkin or paper towel. Then work
baking soda or cornstarch into the stain to draw it out.
Launder with heavy-duty detergent.
SOME GENERAL HINTS:
Rotate your wardrobe. The best way to make your clothes last is to wear them less
often. That means having enough options in your wardrobe to swap out either
individual garments or entire outfits. For ideas on which garments to buy, see our
Essentials collection on page 23.
Coffee & Tea
Rinse with peroxide, white vinegar or club soda.
Blood
Choose the right size. Aside from overall comfort and appearance, there’s another
reason to make sure your clothes fit properly: Wearing the wrong size can make
them wear out far more quickly. Use the measuring guide on page 30 to ensure
you’ve got the right size.
Follow the laundry directions. Sounds simple, we know. But it’s very common for us
all to just “go through the motions” when doing laundry. So take the time to read
the individual garment labels to learn the best way to clean each piece.
Listen to Ben Franklin. It was as true back then as it is today: “A stitch in time
saves nine.” By mending a tiny tear with a few stiches right away, you can
avoid having to make major repairs down the line. (Or worse yet, replace the
garment altogether.)
Start by rubbing the fabric against itself under COLD water. (Avoid
hot water, which will set the stain.) Then wash as usual.
deodorant
These are notoriously tough stains to remove. So the best
approach is to avoid them altogether by waiting until
your deodorant is dry before getting dressed. But if you
find yourself with these telltale stains, try pretreating
the area with liquid detergent and letting it sit several
minutes before washing as normal.
Ink
Douse the area with either aerosol hairspray or rubbing alcohol.
Then blot. Sponge detergent on the stain before washing.
Skip the skimpy hangers. Skinny wire hangers are particularly nasty to clothes. Not
only do they make shirts lose their shape, but also over time they can stretch out
and damage the shoulders. So be sure to use good-quality hangers.
Give ’em room. Avoid crowding clothes into your closet, as it only creates wrinkles
that have to be removed. And too much ironing only adds to the wear and tear on
your clothes.
Don’t fade away. Anti-fade detergents contain ingredients that corral the chlorine
ions in water — which means colors stay true. So choose these formulas to keep
your Averitt Red as vibrant as possible and your dark pants and shorts from
washing out. You can also add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to your laundry
to help keep colors in and odors out.

A FEW GUIDELINES:
1. BLOT, DON’T RUB. Rubbing not only damages the fibers, but it
also it can remove dyes and spread the stain.
2. ACT QUICKLY. The faster you act, the better the chance of
saving the garment.
3. KNOW YOUR LIMITS. It’s easy to make oil-based stains worse.
Sometimes it’s best to get it dry-cleaned.

uniform care
REPAIR OR RECYCLE?
SHOE CARE TIPS.
If your shirt has seen better days, find out how you can
bring it back to life or if you should send it to a new home.
Proper care not only helps ensure your shoes look their best
but also helps them last longer.
Breaking them in
REPAIR
STAINED COLLAR - Next time you wash it, pretreat the
collar with hair shampoo. Keep it from happening
again by wearing it only once between washes.
Stains under the arm - Try dissolving a few
denture-cleansing tablets in a bowl of
warm water, or use a bit of OxiClean.
®
Missing buttons - You probably
knew this one, but a needle and
thread are the only tools you need.
RECYCLE
Frayed collar - You could have a collar repaired,
but it’s not worth the time and money.
Frayed cuffs - Getting the cuffs replaced is just
as expensive as getting a new shirt and not nearly
as rewarding.
Very few shoes fit perfectly right out of the box. With
most, there’s a “getting to know you” period, as they
soften and conform to your feet. So be sure to allow
adequate time for that to happen.
Shoe trees
If you wear dress shoes, shoe trees can be an enormous
help in maintaining the quality of your footwear. That’s
because the moment you take them off, leather shoes
begin to dry out and contract. By inserting shoe trees
as quickly as possible after taking them off, you help
extend both the life and the look of your shoes.
Leather
It’s important to polish your leather shoes at least once a
month — especially if you wear them on a regular basis.
Start by wiping any excess dirt or dust off the surface with
a damp cloth. Then apply a thin coat of polish with a soft
cloth, being sure to keep it moving in a circular motion.
Let the polish dry for a few minutes, then use a polish
brush to finish the job.
Repairs
Even the best care can’t prevent all footwear problems. But
don’t give up on your shoes as soon as they start to show
a little wear and tear. A cobbler can often fix minor issues
and keep you from having to replace the shoe altogether.
Faded color - You’ve worn all the Averitt Red out
of it. That’s good, but it’s time to move on.

MEASURE TWICE, ORDER ONCE.

HOW TO MEASURE MEN.
neck - Measure around the base of the neck, where a collared shirt
would fit.
Chest - Measure across the fullest part of the chest, under the arms
and across the back.
Waist - Measure over the shirt at the waistline, where pants are
normally worn. Tighten the tape as snug as you prefer pants to fit.
inseam - After adjusting the pants to the position normally worn,
measure from the crotch to the top of the shoe (or desired length).
You never outgrow
the fundamentals.
The strongest and most productive teams are
built on a solid (and courteous) foundation.
Pitch in - Yes, we all have our assigned tasks. But we can also
each use a hand once in a while. And one key to a strong team is
having members who continually look out for the little things they
can do to help the group as a whole.

matter how tight a team may be, there are always going to be
things that set us apart. But what separates strong teams from
weak ones is how well they embrace and use those differences to
improve themselves and others.

SAFETY
The best safety
equipment on earth
is sitting right
between your ears.
There’s a lot more to safety than
just wearing steel-toed boots or
back support. Because looking
sharp isn’t worth much if you
don’t stay mentally sharp as well.
It’s important to remember that
ours is a business of constant motion,
whether it be vehicles, people or materials. So it’s
important to always pay strict attention to your
surroundings and to what you’re doing.
Be aware. Be mindful. And help keep yourself — and
the entire Averitt team — safe.
