Meet the Owner-Operator of the Year -- a window on the Las Vegas awards banquet

Overdrive Radio

While we're busy covering the various comings and goings at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, this week, find in this week's podcast a window on the big awards banquet out in Las Vegas earlier in the week with the Truckload 2022 conference of the Truckload Carriers Association. There, Prime-leased Glen Horack took home the Owner-Operator of the Year award, making good on his fourth time as an award finalist. Robert Howell, driver for Doug Andrus Distributing, took home the Company Driver of the Year award. You can find plenty more in terms of scenes from the event via the Wednesday report at https://www.overdriveonline.com/owner-operator-of-the-year/article/15290016/owneroperator-takes-home-25k-with-top-honor But for this edition of Overdrive Radio, sit back and take it all in as we run through the stories of six finalists, three each in owner-operator and company driver categories. How it works is, after an introduction by new TCA president Jim Ward, the candidates’ stories are told in brief, followed by a video interview conducted in Las Vegas with each finalist that was broadcast on two massive screens flanking the stage. The Owner-Operator and Company Driver of the Year programs are sponsored by Cummins, Inc., and Love's Travel Stops.
