ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The Truckload Carriers Association has selected 18 division winners for its 2025 Fleet Safety Awards.
These annual awards recognize truckload carriers that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to safety by achieving the lowest accident frequency ratios per million miles within six mileage-based divisions.
The competition is sponsored by Great West Casualty Co. and Arthur J. Gallagher.
“We’re proud to support TCA’s Fleet Safety Awards and the carriers recognized this year,” said Andy Engardio, transportation vertical leader at Arthur J. Gallagher.
“These companies are investing in their drivers, prioritizing safe operations and holding themselves accountable every day,” he continued. “We congratulate this year’s winners and appreciate TCA’s continued leadership in promoting safer roads for everyone.”
The 18 division winners can now compete for one of two grand prizes — one awarded to a carrier with total annual mileage of less than 25 million miles, and the other to a carrier with mileage exceeding 25 million miles. The two winners will be announced at Truckload 2026, TCA’s 2026 Annual Convention, scheduled for Feb. 28-March 3 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
All division and grand prize winners will also be formally recognized at TCA’s 2026 Safety & Security Meeting, scheduled for June 7-9 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
“Great West Casualty Company is proud to sponsor the TCA Fleet Safety Awards, which recognize motor carriers for their dedication to a safety mindset and a culture of risk control,” said Steve Ponder, senior vice president at Great West Casualty Company.
“These motor carriers truly stand out across the trucking industry,” he continued. “The awards honor those who promote safety through meaningful investments in technology and training, and Great West Casualty Company is honored to recognize their achievements.”
