DISTRIBUTION TECHNOLOGIES EARNS HIGHEST
SAFETY HONOR FROM
NATIONAL TANK TRUCK CARRIERS
Carrier Improves Safety Performance for
Fifteenth Consecutive Year
Newbury, Ohio - For the sixth time in the past two decades,
Distribution Technologies Inc. (DistTech), an established
industry leader in dedicated and common carriage for liquid
bulk commodities, has earned the Outstanding Performance
Trophy in the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC) Tank Truck
Safety Contest. DistTech was selected from a group of 13
carriers that won the Grand Award in their respective mileage
categories for calendar year 2005.
The Annual NTTC Safety Contest honors carriers whose safety
management programs produce exemplary results. The Outstanding
Performance Trophy is presented annually by Heil Trailer
International to the carrier that is judged to have the
best all-around safety program in the tank truck industry
during the previous year.
With an accident frequency of only .032 per million miles
for 2005, DistTech won the Grand Award in the 35-45 million
miles class in the Competitive Safety Contest and the Improvement
Award in that same mileage category for the Personnel Safety
Contest. The carrier also received a 15-year Improvement
Award. DistTech will accept the awards at NTTC's Annual
Conference in San Antonio May 7-9.
"To win the prestigious Outstanding Performance Trophy
for the sixth time since 1987 is definitely a testament
to the intense focus that our driving force maintains on
safety every single day," said John Rakoczy, Chief
Operations Officer for DistTech. "We're proud of our
entire fleet for being recognized as the best of the best
in our industry."
In addition to consistently being recognized by the NTTC
for fleet safety, more than 53 of DistTech's drivers have
achieved at least one million miles of accident-free miles
throughout their driving careers.
