Media Release
NatRoad, the largest trucking industry association in Australia, is calling for nominations for their annual NatRoad Awards. These prestigious awards, sponsored by NTO, recognise individuals in our industry who are making a significant impact. The Awards will be presented at the NatRoad Connect 24 Cummins and PACCAR & Dealer Industry Fund Gala Dinner, as part of NatRoad Connect 24 in September.
The Awards are focussed on operators, support people and up-and-coming young people in the industry, ensuring everyone involved in Trucking can be recognised.
“This year, we are also renaming our award to recognise outstanding young people in honour of Sam Sali, from S Sali and Sons, who passed away in January,” Warren Clark, NatRoad CEO said.
“Sam spent many years driving trucks before moving to the management side of the business and becoming heavily involved in industry advocacy. Sam was a driving force behind such initiatives as the restructuring of the Long Distance Drivers Award and the introduction of enterprise bargaining to the industry. He was an inspiration to many.”
Nominate someone from your business for one of these three categories, sponsored by NTI:
Professional Driver of the Year Award – this award recognises a driver’s achievements and professionalism. It highlights exemplary safety performance, commitment to excellence, customer service, and efforts to promote the industry.
Excellence in Operational Support of the Year Award – this award honours an individual who has shown a strong commitment to the road transport industry and exceptional customer service. Their positive attitude, job enthusiasm, and leadership potential should reflect well on themselves, their employer, and the industry.
Sam Sali National Young Driver Award – this newly named award, in honour of one of NatRoad’s founding fathers, Sam Sali, celebrates an inspirational young professional (30 years and under) in the road transport industry.
