The National Private Truck Council recognized 18 private-fleet truck drivers with its National Driver All-Stars award for excellence in customer service, safety, community service and adherence to company and regulatory standards.

The award was co-sponsored by International Truck and Navistar and was presented at a ceremony during the NPTC’s National Safety Conference, which took place from Sept. 10-11. The NPTC created the National Driver All-Stars program in 2009 to recognize NPTC fleet-member drivers based on how they perform against internal customer service metrics.

The award takes into account several standards that fall under the categories of customer service, safety, compliance with company standards and regulatory compliance. Within these categories, things like appearance, number of DOT-reportable accidents, attendance and community services all factor into receiving the award.
