These prestigious awards highlight the essential role of safety, celebrate professionalism in the trucking sector, and emphasize the core principles of effective safe driving programs, as noted by the LMTA.
“The LMTA Foundation is proud to shine a spotlight on these companies and their commitment to safety,” said Renee Amar, executive director of the LMTA Foundation. “Their dedication to improving highway safety sets a high standard for the industry and makes a real difference on Louisiana’s and the nation’s roads.”
