Several member companies of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association (PMTA) were recognized for their outstanding commitment to highway safety during the 2026 Fleet Safety Awards Luncheon, sponsored by Great West, An Old Republic Company. The awards luncheon was held at the OMNI William Penn in Pittsburgh as part of PMTA's Annual Membership Conference (AMC). 

The annual Fleet Safety Awards program honors carriers that have demonstrated exceptional safety performance, professionalism, and operational excellence throughout the year. Winners are selected by the Safety Management Council’s Awards and Recognition Committee with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police and Great West. Awards are presented in mileage-based categories and are determined using a company’s accident and violation history over the course of the year.

In an industry where safety is the foundation of every successful operation, these awards represent far more than statistics. They reflect a company-wide culture of responsibility, accountability, training, and commitment to protecting both drivers and the motoring public.
