LAS VEGAS — The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) proudly announces that the 2012 grand prizewinners of its highly coveted National Fleet Safety Awards are Brian Kurtz Trucking, LTD, of Breslau, Ontario, and Bison Transport of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The 37th annual awards, sponsored by Great West Casualty Company, were presented Tuesday, March 5th, during TCA’s Annual Convention held at the Wynn Las Vegas. Brian Kurtz Trucking, represented by Brian Kurtz, president, won the award for truckload companies in the small carrier division (total annual mileage of less than 25 million miles), while Bison Transport, represented by Rob Penner, executive vice president and COO, won for truckload companies in the large carrier division (total annual mileage of 25 million or more miles). Both carriers will be recognized again during TCA’s upcoming Safety & Security Division Annual Meeting, to be held May 19-21, 2013, at the Westin Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana.

“Safety doesn’t just happen by chance — it takes a lot of hard work. It also requires a group effort,” said Chris Burruss, TCA’s president. “From the senior leadership to the administrative support personnel, to the safety directors and the drivers themselves — the entire team from both Brian Kurtz Trucking and Bison Transport should be commended … you are the safest fleets in North America!”
