The nomination period for Heavy Duty Trucking's 2016 Truck Fleet Innovators is drawing to a close, with only a week left to submit nominations.
Each year, HDT honors a handful of the industry's most innovative fleet executives – leaders who are blazing trails with innovative ideas and solutions to problems such as driver retention, fuel economy, sustainability, equipment specs and maintenance, and are pushing the envelope with technology.
Of the nominations we receive, three to five leaders will be honored as our 2016 HDT Truck Fleet Innovators and will be featured and profiled in the March 2016 issue. They will also be featured on a panel discussion at the 2016 Fleet Forum to be held March 30, 2016, at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Ky.
Nominations can be submitted by fleets, suppliers, dealers and associations as well as by HDT editors. The winners will be determined by HDT’s editorial staff.
