New Hamburg, ON – January 21, 2025 — The Erb Group is proud to announce its first-place distinction in the 2024 TCA Fleet Safety Awards, recognized for its outstanding safety efforts in the Division IV category (25-49.99 million miles).
The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA), along with presenting sponsors Great West Casualty Company and Assured Partners, announced the 18 division winners in the 49th Annual TCA Fleet Safety Awards competition in January.
These yearly awards recognize truckload carriers that exhibit an exceptional dedication to safety by achieving the lowest accident frequency ratios per million miles within six-mileage-based divisions.
“Our drivers play a vital role in upholding our values of safety, respect, and excellence in every mile they travel. We are proud of their commitment and hard work, which have earned us this recognition. Their dedication to safety is essential to building a safer, more efficient industry and ensuring secure roads for everyone to travel. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together this year, said Randy Steckly, Vice President of Driver Services at The Erb Group.
Dave Heller, TCA’s Senior Vice President of Safety and Government Affairs, emphasized that the award submissions and ratios are growing tighter and tighter as a testament to the programs and technology that motor carriers are using to improve upon their safety performance. Involvement in TCA and other industry associations have demonstrated and proven the very notion that there are no secrets in safety and our industry’s fundamental goal of eliminating fleets vehicle accidents and fatalities on our roadways is an objective that we are ultimately striving for.
“I congratulate these 18 motor carriers that have led the way this year and the tireless efforts of every motor carrier in our industry that constantly strive to improve upon their operations by continuously placing safety first,” said Heller.
The 18 division winners are now invited to compete for one of two grand prizes – one for carriers with a total annual mileage of less than 25 million miles, and the other for carriers with mileage greater than 25 million miles. Grand prize winners will be announced at Truckload 2025 in Phoenix, AZ – TCA’s 2025 Annual Convention – set for March 15-18 at the Phoenix Convention Center. All winners will also receive recognition at TCA’s 2025 Safety & Security Meeting on June 8-10 in Louisville, KY.
