  • XPO Logistics hosted its 6th annual "Fill the truck for veterans, kittens, and pups" campaign in Rockford, Ill., in December. At the event, XPO collected pet supply donations for local animal shelters and raised funds for the Circle of Change Veterans' Dog Program, a nonprofit that helps veterans work through their PTSD and other psychological issues by working with troubled dogs.
  • Mallory Scheurer of ABFOvercoming anxiety about the unknown, Mallory Scheurer, senior manager of process development and compliance for Fort Smith, Ark.-based ABF Freight, spent a morning last October rappelling down the tallest building in Fort Smith to raise money for cancer patients. Scheurer raised more than $3,000 through her participation in the annual Over the Edge fundraising event, which benefits the Donald W. Reynolds Cancer Support House, by rappelling 130 feet down the Arvest Bank Tower.
  • Vipar Heavy Duty, an independent aftermarket truck parts distributor, fulfilled the 2018 holiday wish lists of more than 30 children "adopted" by Vipar staff members through the Boys and Girls Club of Rockford, Ill. In addition to supporting the Boys and Girls Club, the company contributed food, party supplies, and decorations to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry to help food-bank patrons treat their children to a birthday celebration.
  • Averitt employeesIn the last quarter of 2018, associates of freight transportation company Averitt Express logged more than 4,100 hours of community service as part of Averitt's annual "40 for 40 Community Challenge." All together, associates from 87 facilities across Averitt's system donated their time to clothing, food, toy, and blood drives. This annual event began in 2011 as a way to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary. Each year since, each facility across its network has been encouraged to donate 40 hours of service to various charitable causes between October and December.
