At the signature event of the Truckload Carriers Association’s (TCA) annual convention—its annual award banquet—the organization and its partners Overdrive magazine and TruckersNews.com announced the 2015 professional truck drivers of the year.

The prestigious annual contests, sponsored by Love’s Travel Stops of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with Cummins Inc. of Columbus, Indiana, recognize the top company drivers and owner operators in the U.S. and Canada who provide reliable and safe truck transportation in moving the nation's goods. The overall winners are selected from the finalists based on safe driving, efforts to enhance the public image of the trucking industry, and positive contributions to the winners’ local communities. For the owner operator candidates, business skills are also judged.

The Owner Operator of the Year is Edward “Mark” Tricco of Brandon, Manitoba, who is leased to Bison Transport of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Company Driver of the Year is Danny Smith of Shelbyville, Tennessee, who drives for Big G Express, Inc., also of Shelbyville, Tennessee. (More)
