Nominations are now open for the 2017 Craig Roseneder Award, which recognises technical and maintenance excellence in the trucking industry.

Sponsored by Castrol Vecton, the award is one of the prestigious National Trucking Industry Awards and celebrates the men and women who work behind the scenes in the trucking industry’s workshops.

The award is open to individuals with a minimum five years’ experience working full time in the Australian trucking industry for a trucking company, supplier or commercial workshop as a workshop manager, mechanic, or support person within the maintenance field for heavy vehicles.

This year’s award recipient will receive a fully paid trip to Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the US Technology and Maintenance Council’s 2018 Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition. This includes return airfares to the USA, full conference registration, five nights premium conference accommodation, partners’ program registration (if applicable) and AUD $1500 spending money.

The recipient will also receive complimentary registration to the 2018 ATA/ARTSA Technical and Maintenance Conference.

Last year’s award winner, Cade Robinson, said, “I was extremely honoured to be selected for the award. Attending the TMC conference in the US was an educational, memorable and humbling experience, and it inspired me to expand my knowledge and explore even more opportunities within this industry.”

Nominations must be received by Friday 22 September. Self-nominations will not be accepted.

The award will be presented at the Castrol Vecton Awards Dinner on Tuesday 17 October as part of the ATA/ARTSA 2017 Technical and Maintenance Conference (TMC2017).
