Two Canadian drivers took top honors Tuesday night at the Truckload Carriers Association annual meeting, each winning a 2013 Ram 2500, sponsored by Chevron Delo and Cummins. The competition is managed by TCA and Overdrive, which is published by CCJ publisher Randall-Reilly.
Terrance Smith was named 2013 Owner-Operator of the Year. He lives in Miramichi, New Brunswick, and is leased to SLH Transport, based in Kingston, Ontario.
Jack Fielding was named 2013 Company Driver of the Year. He lives in McKellar, Ontario, and drives for Bison Transport, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In addition to the Cummins-powered trucks, the winners will receive a year’s supply of Chevron Delo oil.
Truck drivers’ “hard work deserves our thanks, respect, and admiration,” said Randy Brillhart, heavy duty commercial channel manager, North America, for Chevron Lubricants. “Being a sponsor of the TCA Driver of the Year Awards is one way we at Chevron attempt to show our support for this industry and those that exemplify all that is good about it.”
“These drivers exemplify excellence amongst their peers,” said Amy Boerger, general manager, field sales and support for Cummins. “We are honored to play a part in thanking them for their outstanding service and commitment to the trucking industry.”
The three finalists for each award attended TCA’s meeting in Grapevine, Texas, just outside of Dallas.
