Heavy Duty Trucking magazine is seeking nominations for the 2020 HDT Emerging Leaders awards, bestowed upon a group of young trucking industry leaders working at fleet companies and already making a difference in their fields.

Young professionals who are influential, innovative, and successful, who can point to outstanding accomplishments and leadership qualities, and who have a passion for the trucking industry, will be featured in HDT's December issue.

Emerging leaders will be under 40 years of age and work for a for-hire, private, government, or vocational fleet. The award nomination is open to those employed in any aspect of a fleet’s business and all levels, whether management, maintenance, sales, marketing, safety, IT, training, or elsewhere.

Whether nominees are in the top management position of a company, a shop foreman, or the IT person who led a key data transition, as long as they are making a difference in the trucking industry, they are eligible for nomination.

Leaders honored as an HDT Emerging Leader will be featured in an article in our December issue. The nominee must be under 40 years old as of Jan. 31, 2020. Self-nominations are also being accepted.
