Nominations for the National Trucking Industry Awards 2017 now close on May 5, 5pm.
The Australian Trucking Association has extended the time so that all state and territory associations and trucking operators can nominate exceptional members of the trucking industry.
“We have had an encouraging number of expressions of interest as well as enquiries,” ATA chief executive officer Ben Maguire says. “We want to ensure that everyone has the additional time to consider and nominate deserving candidates for all categories of the honour roll in 2017.
“I urge everyone to consider those that make a substantial contribution to the trucking industry and nominate them for an appropriate award today.”
Awards open for nominations include Outstanding Contribution to the Trucking Industry, National Trucking Industry Woman of the Year, National Professional Driver of the Year, and the National Training Excellence Award.
“These awards recognise people and businesses who make a significant and positive impact to the trucking industry,” Maguire says.
The awards will be presented at Trucking Australia 2017, June 21-23, at the Darwin Convention Centre during the gala dinner on the June 23 Foundation Sponsors Day.
The Don Watson Memorial Award and the TruckSafe John Kelly Memorial Award will also be presented on the night.
