Alaska West Express received the American Trucking Associations’ President’s Trophy, the organization’s highest safety honor awarded to a motor carrier in the ‘under 25 million miles’ category each year. Alaska West Express earned the award based on its outstanding safety performance, safety initiatives, and community outreach efforts while providing heavy haul and bulk trucking in Alaska and throughout the U.S.
The award was accepted by the Alaska West Express team at the ATA annual Safety, Security, and Human Resources Conference in Oklahoma City. “We are proud of this award and of the Alaska West Express employees that are dedicated to creating a culture of safety inside and outside our company each day,” said Tyler Bones, Alaska West Express Director of HSSE. “Our personnel operate in some of the harshest climates and most remote locations in the country while transporting heavy haul and oversize loads, which makes safety even more challenging. We appreciate the ATA recognizing our company’s commitment to the highest safety standards.”
“We haul a variety of commodities, including hazardous chemicals, on one of the country’s most rugged gravel roads – over 510 miles between Fairbanks and the North Slope oilfields,” noted Alaska West Express President Matt Jolly. “This award represents the hard work, professionalism, and integrity of our managers, operations teams, drivers, freight handlers, and mechanics to maintain safe operations to serve our customers in the energy, mining and construction industries.”
