Those ceremony dates and times are:
- June 20 at 6:30 p.m.: Danny and Cindy George – TA Wheat Ridge, Colorado – “Danny & Cindy George Wheat Ridge Travel Center”

Nominations are now open for TravelCenters of America’s 2019 Citizen Drivers program, an initiative meant to honor truckers for their careers, along with their work outside the industry through good citizenship, safety, community involvement and leadership. Anyone can nominate a truck driver. Nomination forms, rules and additional information is available from TA online. TA will accept nominations through Sept. 30.
