SEATTLE, WA -- September 13, 2021 -- Convoy, the nation’s most efficient digital freight network, today unveiled the winners of its third annual Haul Stars Awards, which recognize and honor the most elite truck drivers and carriers who have hauled loads with Convoy this year. Coinciding with National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, these awards celebrate this essential group of professionals who transport the vast majority of physical goods to businesses and consumers every day.
New this year, each of the 15 Haul Stars award winners will receive their own custom commemorative baseball-style trading card, highlighting their accomplishments, along with a complete set of cards featuring all the 2021 winners, a $500 Convoy Fuel Card, a collection of Convoy merchandise, and a note from Convoy founders Dan Lewis and Grant Goodale thanking them for their hard work.
“For decades, truck drivers have delivered the goods and materials that make our everyday lives possible,” said Convoy Co-Founder Grant Goodale. “For every item in our homes there’s a truck driver on the front lines loading, hauling, and unloading goods, night and day, throughout the pandemic. Convoy believes it’s important to celebrate truck drivers everywhere this week and express our gratitude for the essential service they provide to all Americans. These awards are a fun way to showcase some of the best truck drivers on the road in America.”
The 2021 winners were selected based on a variety of performance metrics from Convoy’s Haul Stars program, a membership group representing hundreds of the most elite and highest performing carriers from Convoy’s network of more than 300,000 trucks.
The 2021 Haul Stars award categories and winners include:
