Last year's winners were motor carrier honoree Baylor Trucking Inc., Milan, Ind.; industry supplier honoree Mack Trucks, Greensboro, N.C. as well as the Minnesota Trucking Association and the Tennessee Trucking Association both winning the state association award.
Submissions will be evaluated by an impartial panel of judges based on creativity, execution and reach/impact. Submissions must be submitted by September 28, 2012. Winners will be announced during ATA's annual Management Conference & Exhibition Oct. 7-10 in Las Vegas.
This year's award is sponsored by TMW Systems Inc.
