Anyone closely associated with trucking knows there is no shortage of amazing people who work as truck drivers. Heading into its fourth year, the TA Petro Citizen Driver Award program seeks to honor those truck drivers who are making trucking and the world around them a better place.
Nominations are being sought for the 2017 Citizen Driver Awards. Anyone can nominate a professional truck driver for the award and the nominations are being accepted until Sept. 30.
A panel of judges composed of trucking professionals will focus on the following criteria when reviewing nominees: citizenship, safety, health and wellness, community and leadership. Qualifications are not limited to the above criteria.
In December, judges will choose the finalists and honorees. Distinguished finalists and honorees will each receive recognition and a package of various goods and services. Some will be selected to have their favorite TA and Petro location named after them, including plaques, name banners and a dedication ceremony. Winners will be announced at the 2017 Mid-America Trucking Show.
