MTA-Custom Truck Sales Inc Industry Excellence Award – The MTA annually recognizes 10-15 drivers who epitomize excellence in the trucking industry. These drivers have demonstrated a commitment to the trucking industry, safety, and customer service. They may have performed acts of outstanding bravery or courage, risking their own lives to save others. These are the drivers that every fleet manager and company owner is glad to have as members of their team; these are also the professional drivers other drivers look up to. From this pool of drivers, the annual Volvo Trucks Canada Driver of the Year is chosen.
