Drivers of the Year Awards 2019
Presented by The National Association of Small Trucking Companies

Nominate Your Best Driver Here

Every member of NASTC has a best driver. We want to know who he or she is. It is very important for you to recognize your drivers for the hard work they do and let them know how much they are appreciated. By nominating your best for the NASTC Drivers of the Year Award you are sending a great message not only to that individual but also to all your other employees, customers and the public that your company is proud of the safe, quality people you employ. We are big proponents of incentive and award programs and know many of you are also. Regardless of how much time you spend recognizing your personnel internally, it just isn’t the same as nominating a driver for “National Recognition.”

Every nominee will receive a personal letter of appreciation and certificate congratulating him or her on being selected by you for recognition. Finalists will be invited to attend our Annual Conference in Nashville in November along with their spouse or a guest. Last year our finalists received $100.00 cash, jackets, hotel accommodations provided by NASTC, commemorative Driver of the Year plaques, and an array of Driver of the Year gifts provided by NASTC and our affiliate vendors valued at over $1,500. In addition, the Drivers of the Year, their guests and their two company representatives spend Friday evening at one of Nashville’s premier location, the historic Grand Ole Opry. Finally, the drivers and their companies are honored at an award ceremony at the NASTC Driver of the Year banquet. The drivers and their companies are given their commemorative plaques and gifts, as well as honored for their distinguished accomplishments within the transportation industry.

Finalists are selected for the award based on several factors, but each and every one that is nominated is a winner as far as we’re concerned. The fact that you have selected your best for national recognition makes him or her a winner. The nomination process does not cost you anything. If your driver is selected as a finalist, however, we will expect you to go to the expense of getting them to Nashville for the Fall Conference and come with them. It will be some of the best money you ever spend on your drivers.

Nominations are limited to one driver per company.

All nominees will receive a letter of appreciation and certificate from NASTC.

Finalists will be honored with special awards and gifts at our Annual Conference.

Deadline for Nominations is August 30, 2019
