Nominations will be accepted until 5 p.m. Nov. 10. The winner will be announced at TCA’s annual convention March 25-28, in Kissimmee, Florida.

In addition, Truckers News’ sister site Overdrive is seeking nominations for the Owner-Operator of the Year award, which also comes with a $25,000 cash prize.

 Nominations can be submitted at this link.

Company drivers must be nominated by the motor carriers that employ them, while owner operators may be nominated by themselves, spouses or by carriers they have been leased to for a period of three or more years.

A panel of judges will select the three finalists for each contest, to be announced in January. Each of the six finalists will receive an all-expense-paid trip to attend TCA’s Annual Convention, scheduled for March 25-28, at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, where one grand prizewinner will be selected for each contest.
