The American Trucking Assn (ATA). is seeking nominees for its Mike Russell “Good stuff” Trucking Image Award. The award honors those who have generated positive awareness of the trucking industry.

Deadline for submissions is Sept. 14, 2009. Entries will be judged by a panel on creativity, execution and reach/impact. Winners will be announced at ATA’s Management Conference & Exhibitions, Oct. 4-7, in Las Vegas.
