After the nomination period, Goodyear will narrow down the candidates to three finalists, and a panel of trucking industry media representatives will select the winner.
The three finalists will receive expense-paid trips to the 2019 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, where the winner will be announced.
