ecordo Jackson of Charles G. Lawson Trucking in Montgomery was tapped the Alabama Trucking Association’s Driver of the Year at last month’s ATA’s Safety & Maintenance Management Council’s Fleet Safety Awards. According to his supervisor, Lawson Trucking fleet safety director Debbie Henderson (also this year’s First Runner Up for Safety Director of the Year), Jackson has worked in trucking for more than 35 years — 23 of those with Lawson. “He has one of the most intense jobs today as a professional driver pulling a food grade, non-baffled tanker,” Henderson wrote in her nomination letter for Jackson. “Not only is the equipment a task, but he is responsible for the food product safety also. He has received numerous awards over the years, and Driver of the Year Recordo Jackson recently received a 23-year safe driving and loss prevention award from Great West Casualty Co.” Jackson has participated in ATA’s annual Truck Driving Championships several times, placeing 5th in 2007, 4th in 2008, and 3rd in 2010 in the tanker division (He placed 5th in for Driver of the Year in 2009). He has been married to Beatrice for 20 years and has three children. He is a member of Beulah Primitive Baptist Church, serving as trustee, usher, and sings in the male choir. “He is and has always been loyal and takes special care of our customers,” Henderson adds. “He is an exceptional driver and deserves to be recognized for his years of dedication to the trucking industry.” First Runner Up was Jeffrey Wilson of Osborn Transportation, Inc. in Gadsden; and Second Runner Up was Larry Thomas, also of Charles G. Lawson Trucking.
