ATA safety panel honors ABF, Dupre, TCW/Tennessee Express

ABF Freight System, Dupré Logistics and TCW/Tennessee Express have been awarded the American Trucking Association’s President’s Trophy for the best overall safety program.

ATA’s Safety Management Council awarded the honors at its Safety and Human Resources National Conference and Exhibition at Rogers, Ark., this week.

The ATA President’s Trophy annual recognizes the three companies whose fleets have been judged to have the best overall safety programs from the Truck and Industrial Safety Contests.

These Contests judge motor carriers from across the U.S. on safety accomplishments and safety records relative to others within their operation type and size and honor them for superior safety achievements, outstanding commitment to industry-wide safety and extensive promotion of safety among all highway users, the ATA said

ABF Freight System of Fort Smith, Ark., won in the 100 million miles annually category, Dupré Logistics of Lafayette, La., won in the 25-100 million miles category and TCW/Tennessee Express won in the under 25 million miles category.
