This quarter we offer full coverage of the Alabama Trucking Association's busiest season, featuring a cover story on Alabama Driver of the Year Dan Thompson of FedEx Freight, who's logged more than 2.5 million miles without an accident in an impressive 38-year driving career.
Along the way, Thompson has earned several awards and accolades, including FedEx Freight’s 25-year Master Driver Award. He serves on the company’s President’s Safety Team and Road Team. He's also a member of the ATA's own Road Team, speaking to hundreds of students each year about road safety and how to drive safely near large trucks.
Also, there's coverage our safety council's recent SMMC Fleet Safety Awards; ATA's Annual Meeting in April; and of course, a full report on the recent Alabama Truck Driving Championships where FedEx Freight's David Hawk earned the event's top prize.
