This esteemed award recognizes tank truck operations in North America with the best safety program and record for the year. Part of our mission is to champion safety and success in the tank truck industry, and this award recognizes the gold standard.

The Competitive Safety Contest is for all for-hire tank truck carrier members and tank truck private fleet members of NTTC and in good standing with the association. Carriers and private fleets compete in mileage class categories of relative size. The Competitive Safety Contest portion is conducted in two rounds to determine the safest tank truck for-hire carrier or tank truck private fleet. In round one, three awards, Grand, Honor, and Merit will recognize each for-hire carrier and private fleet in their respective mileage class. Round two will determine the North American Champion in three divisions; the Harvison Division (over 15 million miles), the Sutherland Division (under 15 million miles), and the Private Fleet Division. Each Division's Grand Champions will be announced at NTTC's Annual Conference this year in Las Vegas (May 4-7, 2024).
