The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), in collaboration with the presenting sponsor Great West Casualty Company and supporting sponsor Assured Partners, recently disclosed the triumphant entities across 18 divisions in the 48th annual TCA Fleet Safety Awards competition.
Last year, Bison Transport was announced as the top honoree and was granted the grand prize in the extensive fleet category.
These awards spotlight truckload carriers exemplifying an extraordinary commitment to safety by attaining the lowest accident frequency ratios per million miles within six mileage-based divisions.
The 18 division winners are poised to compete for two grand prizes, one distinguishing a carrier with an annual mileage of less than 25 million miles and one surpassing 25 million annual miles. The grand prize victors will be officially announced at Truckload 2024 in Nashville, scheduled from March 23 to 26 at the Gaylord Opryland. Additionally, all winners are set to receive acclaim at TCA’s 2024 Safety & Security Meeting from June 2 to 5 in Indianapolis.
