ATA STATE ASSOCIATION RECOGNITION SUMMA CUM LAUDE AWARD
Each year the American Trucking Associations accepts applications for a State Association Recognition Program. Safety Programs are judged by a team of motor carrier professionals who carefully examine what the association submits in regard to the depth and breadth of their Safety Programs. Groupings of like-sized associations are made and award recipients are selected from each grouping. We are proud to report that The Tennessee Trucking Association submission received a grade of Summa Cum Laude in our category. We received our award at the State Association Recognition Awards Luncheon on September 22, 2011 in Albuquerque, NM. The award is on display at the TTA headquarters. We thank all members of the Safety Management Council and the Maintenance Council who helped us receive this recognition. Without your efforts it would not have been possible.
