The Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association and the Wisconsin Safety Management Council recognized professional truck drivers on Saturday, March 12th for their continuous dedication to safety. The event was held in Sheboygan, WI at Blue Harbor Resort.
In order to be eligible for the recognition and induction to the Presidents Safe Driver Club, drivers must maintain three years of safe driving. Their MVR must remain accident free, either off or on duty. MVR’s are submitted and reviewed yearly. These drivers are the best of the best representing the trucking industry. Safe distancing practices and protective measures were implemented during the luncheon.
Thank you to our generous sponsors, speakers and attendees. It was a great luncheon honoring and celebrating our highway heroes!
Luncheon photos were captured by the talented Jenn Koss.
