Over the years, the editors of Heavy Duty Trucking have been honored with 29 Neal Awards and 39 additional finalist/certificate of merit honors, as well as the Grand Neal Award.

The Jesse H. Neal Awards were created in 1955, by what was then the American Business Press and today is Connectiv, to recognize and reward editorial excellence in business publications. They are named after the association's first managing director, who remained active in promoting the B2B industry throughout his life.

All Neal entries go through a two-tiered screening process to reach the final judging round. Entries are scored in three areas: journalistic enterprise, extent of service to the field, and editorial craftsmanship. A panel of judges, 12 to 18 professionals knowledgeable in all aspects of business journalism, makes the final decisions.
