The American Trucking Associations is on the lookout for professional drivers to join America’s Road Team – a dedicated squad that promotes excellence in truck driving. For over two decades, this initiative has been made possible through Volvo Trucks North America and its sponsorship of these exceptional individuals with superior skills and remarkable safety records. They will serve as ambassadors across media platforms, meet elected officials, and inform the public about career opportunities all while highlighting their profession’s commitment to safety.
“Since the first America’s Road Team was named in 1986, these men and women have exemplified the very best our industry has to offer,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “These proud and patriotic Americans embody what makes our industry the greatest in the country: commitment to service, safety, and professionalism. They are the best spokespeople trucking has and we eagerly await welcoming the next group of drivers into this elite fraternity.”
“At the core of everything we do at Volvo Trucks is safety,” said Magnus Koeck, vice president of strategy, marketing, and brand management at Volvo Trucks North America. “The men and women who are the Captains of America’s Road Team share that core belief with us as demonstrated by millions of safe mile accomplishments, superior driving skills, and dedication to making the trucking industry better every day. We are proud to align with them and continue demonstrating the value of safety that we at Volvo Trucks believe in.”
Nominations will be accepted until September 5, and ATA members are encouraged to nominate professional drivers with exceptional interpersonal skills, outstanding safety records, and a passion for their industry.
