The first round of the competition for the National Tank Truck Carriers’ Heil Trophy, awarded to the safest tank truck operations in North America, is complete. The top finishers in three different divisions have been named.
The Competitive Safety Contest is open to all for-hire tank truck carrier members and tank truck private fleet members of NTTC who are in good standing with the association. Carriers and private fleets compete in mileage class categories based on relative size.
The contest is conducted in two rounds. Round 1 of the 2024 competition application period closed on Jan. 29, and winners are announced today, Feb. 19. Those winners will advance to Round 2, which runs from Feb. 20 to March 5.
In Round 1, three awards — Grand, Honor, and Merit — recognize carriers in their respective mileage classes. Round 2 determines the Heil Trophy winners in three divisions: Harvison Division (over 15 million miles), Sutherland Division (under 15 million miles), and the Private Fleet Division.
The Grand Champions for each division will be announced during NTTC’s Annual Conference 2025 in Tampa, Florida, April 21-24.
