HDT considers nominees from for-hire, private, or government fleets, and in any department, including equipment, maintenance, safety, sustainability, operations, and IT. See examples of past winners.

Award winners will be profiled in a cover story in the May 2023 issue of HDT. Then they will be HDT’s guests at the Heavy Duty Trucking Exchange event in Scottsdale, Arizona, September 6-8, where they will be presented with their awards and participate in a panel discussion. In addition, HDT’s editors often turn to current and previous Innovators for their insight on issues throughout the year.
