The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), along with competition sponsor Great West Casualty, recently revealed the 18 division winners in the 46th Annual TCA Fleet Safety Awards competition.

These annual awards identify truckload carriers that have demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to safety through presenting the lowest accident frequency ratios per million miles in each of six mileage-based divisions.

“TCA’s members continue to show that prioritizing safety is the best business decision,” said John Lyboldt, TCA president. “We are extremely honored to recognize these 18 companies for their impressive safety records over the last year, and we look forward to presenting them with these awards at our upcoming Annual Convention in March.”

The 18 division winners now are invited to compete for one of two grand prizes—one for carriers with a total annual mileage less than 25 million miles, and the other for carriers with mileage greater than 25 million miles.

Grand prize winners will be announced at Truckload 2022: Las Vegas—TCA’s 2022 Annual Convention—set for March 19-22 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

All winners also receive recognition at TCA’s 2022 Safety & Security Meeting June 5-7 in Nashville.
