Congratulations 2025 Award Winners!
Tennessee Trucking Association Awards
We award companies and members from across the Association for their hard work and commitment to excellence every year.
The Tennessee Trucking Association recognizes industry excellence through a variety of annual awards honoring drivers, safety leaders, maintenance professionals, allied partners, and young professionals.
The Driver of the Year Award is presented during the Truck Driving Championships (TDC) held in the spring, while all other awards are presented at the TTA Annual Convention in September.
Together, these awards celebrate professionalism, safety, leadership, and commitment to advancing Tennessee’s trucking industry.
Thank you for representing the trucking industry and for all you do to keep our highways safe!
