The nomination deadline for Heavy Duty Trucking’s 2016 Truck Fleet Innovators award program has been extended until this Friday, Dec. 11.
The Truck Fleet Innovators award honors the industry’s most innovative fleet executives, those proven trailblazers who prevent ideas and solutions to combat trucking’s most difficult problems.
HDT is looking to recognize leaders who are pushing the envelope on issues such as driver retention, fuel economy, sustainability, equipment specs and maintenance.
Of the nominations we receive, three to five executives will be honored as our 2016 HDT Truck Fleet Innovators and will be featured and profiled in the March 2016 issue of the magazine. They will also be featured on a panel discussion at the 2016 Fleet Forum, which will be held at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Ky., on March 30, 2016.
Nominations may be submitted by fleets, suppliers, dealers and associations as well as by our own editors. The winners will be determined by HDT’s editorial staff.
To nominate yourself or someone else, please use our online nomination form and answer a few questions about yourself and the nominee.
