The winners in the opening round of National Tank Truck Carriers’ 2025 North American Safety Contest have been named.
NTTC will reveal the three 2025 safety champions April 22 during its 2026 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland.
“The Grand Champion designation reflects outstanding performance across a range of safety metrics, including accident frequency, compliance history, and safety program implementation.”
The North American Safety Contest is open to all for-hire-carrier and private-fleet NTTC members in good standing. Members compete in floating mileage-class categories based on relative size. The contest is conducted in two rounds to determine the safest carriers and fleet.
In Round 1, also known as the Competitive Safety Contest, the association recognizes Grand, Honor, and Merit award winners in their respective classes.
Each division includes five mileage classes evenly distributed by the number of participating companies. In the for-hire contest, Classes 1-5 are in the Harvison division, with Class 1 as the highest mileage class, and Classes 6-10 are in the Sutherland division, with Class 10 as the lowest.
All Round 1 placers have the lowest accident frequency in their class, as verified by independent auditors, NTTC reported. Grand award winners move on to Round 2. In that round, judges critique them across nine areas: Driver qualification, driver training, driver management, worker safety program, accident and incident response, safety and training organization, vehicle and tank inspection, vehicle and tank maintenance, and industry engagement.
