The editors of Heavy Duty Trucking are seeking nominations for fleet executives who “think outside the box” to honor as HDT Truck Fleet Innovators for 2023. Nominations are due on or before March 3.
To be eligible for a nomination, nominees must be a leader or executive at a trucking fleet running Class 8 trucks. They may be honored because of one specific innovation, or for fostering an overall culture of encouraging innovative thinking at their company.
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.
