A. Duie Pyle’s maintenance key to award-winning safety operations

The Pennsylvania-based LTL carrier won the ATA’s highest safety award for the fifth time, and that culture permeates the fleet’s shops as well.
All fleets say they put safety first, but only three each year can win the American Trucking Associations’ President’s Trophy, which recognizes the fleets with the ultimate commitment to highway safety. And for the fifth time, A. Duie Pyle proved they prioritize safety by earning the trophy for the mid-level category.
Categories are broken down by miles driven: under 25 million, 25 million to 100 million, and over 100 million. Winners are selected by judges comprising fleet safety experts and commercial vehicle enforcement personnel, after placing in the top three in their category in the ATA Truck and Industrial Safety Contest. Fortune Transportation, based out of Windom, Minnesota, won the Under 25 trophy and FedEx Freight earned the honors for the “over 100 million mile” segment.
