ATA Hands Out ‘Good Stuff’ Awards

LAS VEGAS — YRC Worldwide, Travel Centers of America and Petro Stopping Centers and the Nevada Trucking Association each received Mike Russell “Good Stuff” Trucking Image Awards from American Trucking Associations.

“These groups are being honored for their efforts to bolster trucking’s prestige in this country,” said ATA President Bill Graves.

“We all know just how much trucking does every day to keep America’s economy rolling and our highways safe, and with programs like ‘Good stuff, Trucks Bring It,’ and the efforts of these organizations, more Americans are being made aware of our hard work as well,” Graves said.

The motor carrier award was given to YRC Worldwide, who launched a campaign focused on their workforce, sustainability efforts and involvement in their communities and the industry.

Travel Centers of America and Petro Stopping Centers received the award in the supplier category for a campaign establishing the professional truck driver as a highway hero.

The Nevada Trucking Association was chosen as the state association winner for its campaign focusing on safety across the state.

The award is named in honor of the late Mike Russell, a trucking industry supporter and former ATA vice president of public affairs. It is sponsored by TMW Systems.
