Applications to enter the Truckload Carriers Association’s Driver of the Year Contest are open now, through Oct. 25. Carriers can nominate their own drivers or owner-operators for consideration. For more information or to nominate a driver, visit truckload.org/DOY.
The competition is intended to recognize drivers with strong safety records who’ve also improved the image of trucking and served their communities. The owner-operator award also recognizes best business practices.
The 2021 Owner-Operator of the Year and the 2021 Company Driver of the Year will each win $25,000. Two finalists in both categories, four other drivers total, will win $2,500 each.
The six finalists will attend TCA’s annual meeting, Truckload 2022, in Las Vegas, March 19-22, where the winners will be announced.
The Owner-Operator of the Year contest is produced by TCA and Overdrive. TCA and Truckers News produce the Company Driver of the Year contest. The contests are sponsored by Love’s Travel Stops and Cummins.
