TMC Transportation of Des Moines, Iowa, has honored Dana Starrett with the Driver of the Quarter Award for the fourth quarter of 2004.
Starrett is eligible for future Wheel Master awards, which are given at the end of the year to a previous Driver of the Quarter award recipient.
The Driver of the Quarter and Wheel Master Programs were created to recognize TMC’s best drivers. Drivers earn “Driver of the Quarter” recognition based on years of service with the company, safe driving record and overall quality performance. The same criteria are used to choose a Wheel Master recipient.
TMC is owned by Annett Holdings Inc. Annett Holdings is also the parent of four other divisions: KTL, based in Joplin, Mo; Fortune Xpress, an owner-operator division also located in Des Moines; Yellowstone Trucking, based in Coeur d’ Alene, Ida.; and PFT, based in Champaign, Ill.
