The awards were presented during the WWEX Group Partner Channel Conference and highlighted carriers that consistently delivered strong service, communication, and collaboration throughout the year.

Why Carrier Performance Matters to Drivers and Fleets

For truck drivers and fleets moving freight through WWEX Group’s network, these awards reflect the carriers that set the bar for operational consistency and customer service.

“Strong carrier relationships are the foundation of our ability to serve shippers at scale,” said Mike Grayson, CRO and executive vice president, WWEX. “Our carrier partners aren’t vendors — they’re collaborators. Their performance, communication, and commitment to service directly impact our customers’ success, and these awards reflect how critical that partnership is to our network.”

According to the company, the Carrier Awards are designed to recognize partners whose reliability and accountability help keep freight moving efficiently across complex supply chains.

2026 WWEX Carrier Awards Winners

The 2026 award recipients span multiple regions and service categories within the less-than-truckload and parcel sectors:

• West Coast LTL Carrier of the Year: Estes
• National LTL Carrier of the Year: XPO
• LTL Carrier Partner of the Year: R+L Carriers
• Southeast LTL Carrier of the Year: ACT Logistics
• Midwest LTL Carrier of the Year: Dayton Freight
• Northwest LTL Carrier of the Year: PITT OHIO
• Partner of the Year: UPS

Each carrier was selected based on performance metrics, service reliability, and collaboration across WWEX Group’s shipper network.

Inside WWEX Group’s Carrier Network

WWEX Group works with a broad carrier base that includes more than 75 LTL carriers and over 45,000 truckload providers nationwide. The network consists of regional, national, and specialty carriers, allowing shipments to be matched based on lane coverage, service requirements, and performance history.

This approach gives drivers and fleets access to consistent freight opportunities while helping shippers maintain service reliability across a wide range of markets.

Collaboration Remains Central to Future Growth

As freight networks continue to evolve, WWEX Group says long-term success depends on strong partnerships throughout the supply chain.

“The future of logistics is built on collaboration,” Grayson said. “As supply chains become more complex, success depends on partners who are willing to work together, adapt quickly, and hold each other to a higher standard. Our carrier relationships are central to building a stronger, more resilient network for the long term.”

For truck drivers and carriers operating within the WWEX ecosystem, the 2026 Carrier Awards signal which fleets are leading through performance, consistency, and partnership in a changing logistics environment.

America’s Road Team was established in 1986 to recognize professional truck drivers who have demonstrated exceptional safety records and a commitment to representing the industry with integrity. With the support of their companies, Captains volunteer their time to participate in public outreach efforts that help explain the role trucking plays in everyday life.

The 2026 2027 class represents 13 states and includes four military veterans, one independent contractor, and drivers from both small fleets and large national carriers. Together, the group brings 51 million miles of safe driving experience to the program.

Volvo Trucks Celebrates 25 Years Supporting America’s Road Team

Volvo Trucks remains the program’s sponsor and will mark 25 years of partnership with America’s Road Team this October. During their two-year term, the Captains will travel the country in ATA’s Interstate One Image Truck, a Volvo VNL 860 pulling an American flag themed trailer. The trailer features a mobile classroom and a state of the art truck driving simulator used for education and outreach.

“Volvo Trucks is honored to continue our long-standing sponsorship of America’s Road Team and to take part in this week’s selection of the 2026–2027 Captains,” said Volvo Trucks North America President Peter Voorhoeve. “This year at MCE marks 25 years of Volvo’s proud support of America’s Road Team, a milestone that reflects our deep respect for professional drivers and our commitment to safety, professionalism, and leadership across the trucking industry. America’s Road Team is one of the most visible groups of professional truck drivers in the country, and we believe their hard work and dedication pays.”

How the 2026 2027 Captains Were Selected

ATA conducted the final round of selections from January 18 through January 20 at its headquarters in Washington, DC. During this process, drivers were evaluated on more than just miles logged or years of experience.

Candidates were judged on their ability to clearly communicate about trucking, safety, and transportation issues, as well as their overall driving records. The selection panel included trucking industry executives and members of the trade press, ensuring the final group reflected both operational excellence and the ability to represent the industry publicly.

Once selected, the new Captains received their signature navy blue America’s Road Team blazers and immediately began their work as ambassadors. Their focus over the next two years will be on improving public understanding of trucking and reinforcing the industry’s commitment to safety and professionalism.

Supporting the Mission of America’s Road Team

Trucking professionals and industry partners can support the work of America’s Road Team by following the Captains throughout their two year term and engaging with them at major industry events, conferences, and community visits. ATA also encourages industry members to follow the team’s journey on Facebook, where updates from the road and event appearances are shared.

“America’s Road Team Captains exemplify the highest standards of safety in our industry, helping to elevate trucking’s image by sharing their experiences and leading by example,” said ATA Chief Operating Officer Dan Horvath. “These respected leaders craft compelling safety messages and demonstrate how the trucking industry offers meaningful, rewarding careers. Through their participation in community events, conferences, and industry engagements, they fulfill the mission of America’s Road Team.

The study is titled “Quantifying the Benefits of Creating New Truck Parking Spaces” and will gather about one thousand completed surveys from drivers. The goal is to better understand what the parking shortage costs in real terms and what improvements would actually deliver measurable benefits.

FMCSA pointed out that driver parking has stayed at the top of the industry concern list for years. In the American Transportation Research Institute’s reports, parking reached the number two spot in 2023 and 2024 and moved to the number four spot this year. Drivers have repeatedly told the industry how serious the shortage is, and now FMCSA wants data that reflects exactly how much impact the problem creates.

The agency also acknowledged that “many government, safety, and industry organizations are working to create more truck parking spaces,” but noted that “there is a lack of research on the actual precise monetary benefits of new truck parking spaces.” The benefits the agency wants to measure include:

• Decreasing carriers’ costs
  • Increasing drivers ‘ well-being
  • Reducing the number of crashes

FMCSA explained that past surveys never captured certain data with enough accuracy. According to the notice, researchers still need strong national statistics showing how often drivers do the following:

• Park in unauthorized areas
  • Shut down early to secure a legal space
  • Leave their routes searching for parking
  • Run past hours of service limits trying to find parking

The agency says the new survey results will be paired with other research to help estimate the full value of creating additional parking in different regions. The goal is to support decision-making among both public and private groups that determine where new parking should be built.

FMCSA also outlined several questions it hopes this study will help answer, including:

• How many trucks park in authorized and unauthorized spots per day across the country
  • What methods offer the most cost-effective way to increase capacity
  • Which truck parking information systems do drivers rely on most
  • How many drivers use reservations, paid parking, or other parking services on a routine basis

Several thousand drivers from different parts of the industry will receive the online survey, which takes about twenty-five minutes to complete. FMCSA expects roughly one thousand usable responses.

The agency is requesting feedback on its plan for the survey, including whether the survey is necessary, how it could be improved, and ways to ensure the collected information is clear and useful. Comments can be submitted for sixty days at www.regulations.gov by searching Docket No. FMCSA 2025 0787.

For now, the study is moving forward, and FMCSA says it wants real insight from working drivers. With parking continuing to shape daily schedules and trip planning, many drivers may welcome the chance to weigh in directly on an issue that affects them every single day.

Key Highways Where Truck Drivers Face the Toughest Challenges

The I-285 beltway envelops Atlanta and is infamous for snarls, particularly around the junctions with I-20 and I-675. Picture merging into lanes clogged with a mix of daily commuters and heavy freight trucks—quick decisions and careful spacing become necessary. Drivers on this stretch frequently report encountering sudden slowdowns that sometimes lead to collisions if caution lapses.

Downtown’s very own lifeline for traffic, the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector, demands utmost focus. Trucks face constant lane drops and tight exit intervals, especially when rush hour fills the asphalt with bumper-to-bumper traffic. Navigating this section requires staying alert for impatient drivers and unexpected stops.

On Interstate 20, frequent construction zones and narrowed lanes add to the stress, notably near entertainment hubs like Six Flags and further east towards Conyers. Even State Route 400, though less of a highway, presents its own hazards in northern suburbs where space is at a premium and commuters don’t always yield easily to larger vehicles.

Patterns in Traffic Flow Drivers Need to Know

Traffic congestion in Atlanta rarely follows a neat schedule anymore. Recent shifts have stretched peak congestion far beyond the traditional morning and evening rushes. Surprisingly, Thursdays now witness heavier traffic jams than Fridays, compressing the week’s busiest driving periods. Midday traffic snarls have also grown, prolonging times drivers spend inching forward on congested routes.

In addition to stop-and-go patterns, speed limits seem to fluctuate unexpectedly throughout the city’s roadways, demanding that drivers stay precisely attentive to changing signs. Aggressive driving behaviors from other motorists further increase the pressure, making defensive driving more critical than ever.

Strategies for Safer and More Efficient Truck Driving in Atlanta

Savvy drivers understand that timing is everything in this city. By scheduling trips outside of peak congestion, they avoid most of the frustrating delays. Employing GPS devices or apps specifically designed for commercial vehicles empowers drivers by providing real-time updates on road restrictions and active construction.

Maintaining increased space in heavy traffic smooths reactions to sudden stops or merges. Coming prepared for abrupt lane drops, especially on the Perimeter and Downtown Connector, helps reduce collision risks.

Communication plays a role, too. Drivers who update dispatch about possible delays keep expectations clear and avoid last-minute surprises for everyone involved. Keeping an eye on traffic alerts also enables on-the-fly reroutes, shaving off precious time and reducing stress.

Atlanta’s traffic maze undoubtedly tests truck drivers’ skills and patience. However, understanding when and where congestion strikes, paired with smart driving tactics, can transform a daunting drive into a manageable one. With foresight and focus, drivers can keep themselves safe and deliveries on track in this bustling city.

“Whether operating a company truck, a leased truck, or owning a truck, National Carriers appreciates these three outstanding delivery experts,” said Ed Kentner, director of media at NCI. Each has an exceptional safety record and puts the motoring public’s well-being at the forefront of all they do. Together, these men uphold the high standards of the ‘Elite’ fleet.”

The newly announced finalists are Rafael Murillo, Willie Grady III, and Bernard Talimeliyor. Each earned the title of Driver of the Month for May, June, and July, along with a $1,000 bonus. They now join the running for NCI’s Driver of the Year, which includes a $10,000 award to be presented in March 2026.

Rafael Murillo – May Driver of the Month

Based in Liberal, Kansas, owner-operator Rafael Murillo hauls freight in NCI’s national refrigerated fleet. Murillo first joined the company as a student driver and worked his way up, excelling behind the wheel while earning a reputation for exceptional customer service. After gaining experience as a company driver, he advanced to become an owner-operator, a role where he continues to thrive.

Willie Grady III – June Driver of the Month

Willie Grady III, of Keene, Texas, was recognized in June for his consistent performance as a lease operator. Since joining NCI in 2020, Grady has built a strong track record delivering across the Midwest and Southern states. With a reputation for reliability, strong safety standards, and a positive attitude, he is admired by colleagues and customers alike.

Bernard Talimeliyor – July Driver of the Month

Operating a company truck in the national refrigerated division, Bernard Talimeliyor has also secured a finalist spot. A retired U.S. Army veteran originally from the South Pacific island of Yap, Talimeliyor now lives in Irving, Texas. His cross-country hauls keep frozen goods moving safely and efficiently coast to coast, reflecting the professionalism that NCI celebrates.

These three drivers join a growing list of finalists announced earlier this year, with the ultimate Driver of the Year honor still to come. NCI’s recognition program highlights the company’s commitment to safety, customer satisfaction, and the individuals who keep freight moving nationwide.

Years of Advocacy and a Tragic Catalyst

Finding a safe, legal place to park has been a daily struggle for truck drivers across the country. For much of the 21st century, the lack of parking has left drivers with few good options, forcing many to risk their safety. It wasn’t until advocacy organizations spoke up—most notably the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA)—that federal and state leaders began to take the problem seriously.

A pivotal moment came after the murder of truck driver Jason Rivenburg, who lost his life when he was forced to stop overnight at an unsafe location after being turned away from an early delivery. That tragedy led directly to Jason’s Law in 2012, which tasked federal agencies with assessing and reporting on national truck parking availability.

When the initial survey results landed in 2015, they reinforced what drivers already knew: truck parking was woefully inadequate. But improvements were slow, and a follow-up in 2020 confirmed that little headway had been made.

Legislators Push for Solutions

Driven by the survey results, lawmakers and OOIDA renewed their campaign for action. In 2020, Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.) introduced the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act—a proposal to allocate $755 million specifically for building new, free parking spots for truckers.

OOIDA threw its weight behind the bill from the start. “Growing up in a family trucking business, I know how hard it can be to find a safe place to stop and rest,” Bost explained, emphasizing why he has “led efforts in Congress to expand truck parking and fight for common sense reforms that make life easier and safer for truckers.”

The measure faced obstacles in Congress, and although it stalled in committee, support grew steadily. OOIDA spurred drivers into action through Calls to Action and their FightingForTruckers.com website, while Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh continued providing congressional testimony on the issue. Over several sessions, the bill’s list of Democratic and Republican co-sponsors increased as awareness spread.

DOT Launches the “Pro-Trucker Package”

Momentum built as a new federal administration entered office. On June 27, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy laid out the department’s “Pro-Trucker Package,” a series of reforms aimed at truck driver well-being and safety.

A major highlight of the package is the $275+ million commitment to expand truck parking across the U.S. The 2024 round of grants already included $180 million for Florida, providing more than 900 much-needed spaces along Interstate 4, a perennial trouble spot for parking.

“These steps not only improve the daily lives of truckers across America but also enhance safety for everyone on the road,” said OOIDA President Todd Spencer.

Other DOT efforts in the package include pulling back on speed limiter regulations, updating the hours-of-service rules to offer drivers more flexibility, and modernizing digital resources such as the National Consumer Complaint Database for drivers.

Importantly, the DOT will also be labeling truck parking as a “national priority” under Jason’s Law, which will unlock access to grant programs that can move additional parking construction projects forward.

A Turning Point for the Trucking Community

For truckers, this $275 million initiative is more than just government spending—it’s long-overdue recognition of their crucial work and the unique challenges they face. Solving the parking problem addresses a critical safety concern and helps drivers spend more time moving America’s freight, not searching for a place to park.

The Road Ahead

The shortage is not solved overnight, but this level of funding marks a historic step forward. OOIDA and supporting lawmakers plan to keep pushing for additional resources and program improvements to ensure truckers’ continued safety and comfort.

With fresh investment and a renewed focus on truck driver needs, the industry is poised for safer roads, smarter regulations, and more secure rest for those who keep goods moving nationwide. All eyes will be on how these changes unfold and on the benefits delivered to drivers and the traveling public alike.

It’s a reflection of the pride our people take in their work and the purpose that drives us every day.”

Supporting Packers Operations and Expanding Collaboration

Over the past nine seasons, Paper Transport has played a vital role in the Packers’ logistics, hauling game equipment across the country for every away game. This expanded partnership, however, goes beyond transportation by incorporating initiatives in talent recruitment and increasing brand visibility. Together, these organizations aim to foster a culture of excellence while building strong foundations for future generations.

“After a scant 0.1% decline in January, which wasn’t bad considering the harsh winter weather and California wildfires, truck tonnage had a robust gain in February,” said Bob Costello, Chief Economist at the ATA. “This outcome fits well with our growing optimism for the truck freight market after a two-year recession. Some of the gain in February was due to accelerated imports early in the year as shippers rushed to bring products into the U.S. before tariffs hit. Even accounting for this, the first two months of the year were positive, all things considered, indicating that the freight recovery has indeed begun.”

Tonnage Data Highlights

The advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index rose to 115.2 in February, up from the January reading of 111.9. Using 2015 as the base year (set at 100), the index also grew 0.6% compared to February 2024. This marks the second consecutive year-over-year increase, a milestone last achieved in early 2023.

However, the unadjusted index, which measures raw tonnage changes without seasonal adjustments, painted a slightly different picture. February saw a decline to 104.8, reflecting a 4.7% drop from January’s value of 110.0.

Building on these insights, the ATA recently updated its seasonally adjusted index, incorporating revisions spanning the last five years during its annual review process.

The Significance of Trucking in the Economy

The trucking industry remains a vital component of the U.S. economy and a reliable indicator of its overall health. Trucks are responsible for moving 72.7% of all domestic freight tonnage, carrying a wide range of goods, from retail products to manufactured materials.

Last year, the industry transported 11.27 billion tons of freight, generating $906 billion in revenue. This impressive figure accounts for 76.9% of earnings across all modes of transport.

The ATA’s tonnage index focuses on contract freight data, rather than the spot market, and is based on surveys conducted among its membership. These figures are preliminary and often revised in subsequent monthly reports, which include detailed analyses of trends and comparisons.

The Beginning of an Industry Game-Changer

It all started on a cold February morning in 1990 when J.B. Hunt’s first intermodal load departed Chicago, marking the debut of a trailblazing partnership between trucking and rail companies. This collaboration was the brainchild of J.B. Hunt founder Johnnie Bryan Hunt and Santa Fe Railway President Mike Haverty (now BNSF Railway). Aptly named “Quantum,” the service embodied a forward-thinking approach that promised a lasting impact on the freight transportation industry.

“Intermodal started as an idea to bring two services together and create a customer-focused, efficient solution,” said Shelley Simpson, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt. “This dream was brought to life by teams working closely together, never losing faith in the belief of a better way to move freight, one rooted in integrity, respect, safety, and excellence. It changed freight transportation forever and set the company on a path of continued innovation, sparking 35 years of growth and expansion.”

From Humble Beginnings to Market Leadership

The service that began with just 150 trailers has grown into North America’s largest intermodal operation. Today, J.B. Hunt Intermodal (JBI) boasts a fleet of over 122,000 company-owned containers and 6,500 tractors. The groundbreaking concept of double-stacking containers proved pivotal, enhancing efficiency while significantly cutting load and unload times—a benefit that attracted a steady stream of customers over the years.

By the early 2000s, intermodal service had evolved to become a distinct business unit within J.B. Hunt. This strategic shift allowed the company to dedicate its focus to enhancing service quality and operational performance. By 2003, JBI had become J.B. Hunt’s largest revenue generator—a title it still holds today.

The milestones kept coming. JBI moved more than one million loads in a single calendar year for the first time in 2010, and by 2018, that number had climbed to an impressive two million loads annually. Fast forward to 2024, and the company shattered records yet again, setting new benchmarks for quarterly, monthly, and weekly intermodal volumes.

Partnerships That Drive Progress

Over its 35-year history, J.B. Hunt has built enduring relationships with all major rail providers across North America. These partnerships have been essential to refining operational efficiency and introducing innovative features. Notably, the company established onsite terminals and express gates to streamline service for its customers.

Expanding to meet international freight demands, J.B. Hunt opened its first transload facility in 2021. These have since grown to serve key ocean ports and the largest land entry point into the U.S. Additionally, a significant collaboration in 2023 saw J.B. Hunt team up with BNSF Railway and GMXT to launch a Mexico service via Eagle Pass, Texas. That same year, the company reintroduced its iconic Quantum service to serve the evolving needs of highway freight clients.

Sustainability at the Core

J.B. Hunt Intermodal is leading the shift from over-the-road freight transport to rail, which offers a far more sustainable alternative. Rail transport reduces a shipment’s carbon footprint by an average of 65% compared to traditional highway trucking. Over the last decade, JBI’s efforts have prevented the emission of approximately 30 million metric tons of CO2e. This environmentally-conscious approach forms a key part of the company’s commitment to sustainable growth.
