About the Heil Trophy & Safety Contest

The NTTC Competitive Safety Contest is open exclusively to its for-hire tank truck carrier members and private fleet members in good standing. Participants are grouped into mileage-based class categories to ensure fair competition based on organizational size.

The competition spans two rounds. Round 1—focused on identifying the top carriers in various mileage categories—closed on January 29, 2024, with winners being revealed today, February 19. These winners progress to Round 2, taking place February 20 through March 5.

During Round 1, carriers received accolades in three categories—Grand, Honor, and Merit—within their respective mileage classes. Round 2 will determine the ultimate Heil Trophy winners across three divisions:

• Harvison Division (Over 15 million miles)

• Sutherland Division (Under 15 million miles)

• Private Fleet Division

The final Heil Trophy recipients will be unveiled during NTTC’s Annual Conference in Tampa, Florida, scheduled for April 21–24, 2025.
