As a non-profit whose principal mission is to improve highway safety, ICSA invests much of its resources in training, messaging and information designed to help its members operate safely. As we approach a milestone of 5,000 members, ICSA will launch its new safety recognition program effective with the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Each quarter, ICSA’s safety team will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes to a fleet and an individual owner/operator who meets specified criteria. First place winners each quarter will receive a $500 fuel card; 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive useful ICSA merchandise gifts.
While the safety team is finalizing final requirements, carriers who wish to be considered for safety awards must meet at least the following minimum criteria:
• ICSA membership dues paid up and an active member profile set up in safecarriers.org
• SmartDrive camera(s) installed and active
• SmartDrive score under 50 for the quarter
• Enrolled in ICSA’s approved drug testing consortium and hair testing completed
• No claims
After the 4th Quarter winners are named, an annual winner will be chosen from the four quarterly winners as the overall 2022 awards. The 2022 winners will receive a $1000 fuel card along with other prizes. Watch your email and the March Landing Gear newsletter for complete details.
