highwaySTAR of the Year Nomination Form

Please tell us what makes your nominee more than a little bit special and truly deserving of this award. We're looking for someone who is more involved in the industry and community than is utterly necessary, and is dedicated to professionalism with a clear commitment to safety and efficiency operation.

We'd like to recognize the whole person for all they do in life, not just the person behind the wheel, so tell us the whole story: their unique approach to work, their problem solving skills and business skills; examples of extraordinary customer service; also, tell us about unique hobbies or extra-curricular interests including community involvement, volunteer work, etc.

We can only judge your nominee by what you tell us. You're welcome send us any additional documentation (photos, awards, letters, press clippings, etc.) to support your nomination.

You may fax this form to (416) 614-8861, e-mail to rolf@highwaystar.ca, or mail any additional information to:

highwaySTAR of the Year Selection Criteria

In keeping with highwaySTAR magazine's mandate, we are looking for a well-rounded, community-minded company driver or owner-operator who is active outside the trucking industry and takes the image of the industry personally. While driving record, years of service, and driving habits are important, they will be considered along with other aspects of the driver as a whole.

To qualify, individuals must be full-time company drivers or owner-operators with a valid Canadian commercial vehicle driver's licence (tractor/trailer or straight truck).

All nominees will be awarded based on the extent of their community and industry involvement, efforts to improve our industry's image, general outlook on life, safety record, years of service.

All nomination forms will be reviewed by highwaySTAR's editors and panel of our contributors. A short-list of finalists will then be peer-reviewed by a panel of drivers and owner-operators from across Canada.
