Fleet Safety Awards Program

Safety Recognition Program

Honoring the outstanding men and women of trucking and the companies which exemplify the highest degree of professionalism and safety in the industry.

California Trucking Association is the leading association for the trucking industry and each year recognizes the state’s ground-breaking safety programs and talented professionals. The Fleet Safety Awards honor companies developing and implementing superior safety and loss prevention programs through management commitment, employee involvement and program innovation.

An independent panel of judges, comprised of government agencies and safety professionals, reviews the self audit results that are provided by the participating companies.  The panel looks at how the company organizes its safety programs, as well as training, driver supervision, preventive maintenance, and the overall record of accident reduction.  A field audit is then performed by a safety professional to insure the accuracy of all winning entries.


Fleet Safety Professional of The Year

The California Trucking Association’s Fleet Safety Professional of the Year award is a program sponsored by CTA’s Safety Department designed to recognize truck fleet safety managers whose accomplishments are truly outstanding.  The purpose of this award is to promote the highest standards on fleet safety programs as well as the qualifications and performance of safety professionals in the commercial vehicle transportation industry.

The nominee must be a full-time employee who is responsible for directing the safety activities of a commercial vehicle fleet.  In this capacity, the fleet safety manager must be responsible for the implementation and administration of the company’s safety program.  All nominees must have a minimum of three (3) years experience as a fleet safety manager with a company that is a member in good standing with CTA.
