Truckload Carriers Association Names National Fleet Safety Awards

The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has announce the division winners for its 2014 National Fleet Safety Awards, the highest safety honor a carrier can earn each year from the group.

Award winners have been selected based on achieving the lowest ratio of accidents to total fleet mileage during a 12-month period.

“The TCA National Fleet Safety Award is a great program that annually recognizes the safest carriers on the road,” said Dustin England, chairman of TCA’s Safety & Security Division and the vice president of safety/compliance for C.R. England, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“Year after year, the program promotes the safe driving standards of our industry and sets the safety performance bar for all carriers to strive for.”

To be considered for the awards, members submit an online application detailing their accident ratio during the eligibility period. Based on these ratios, carriers placing first, second, and third in each of six mileage-based divisions (listed below) are honored.

These 18 division winners are subject to an audit for ratio accuracy and invited to compete for one of two grand prizes – one for carriers with annual mileage of 25 million or fewer miles, and another for carriers with annual mileage of more than 25 million miles.

The division winners and grand prize recipients will be recognized at an award ceremony to be held during TCA’s Annual Convention, March 8-11, 2015, at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida.
