NASHVILLE, Tenn. — American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council announced the first-ever honorees of its inaugural service provider excellence award at the 2025 Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition.
The TMC Distinguished Service Provider Award was launched to highlight exceptional service providers within the trucking industry. The TMC board of directors stepped in to fill the role of award committee for this first year. Going forward, a committee of past winners will make the selection.
“The award is designed to recognize outstanding service to the council by service provider category members, similar to our Recognized Associates Award,” TMC General Chairman Amanda Schuier said. “For this first year only, we are permitting the selection of outstanding former service provider members who presently hold another category of TMC membership.”
Schuier introduced the winners during an awards ceremony held at the conference. The event included various award recipients from across the industry. TMC selected a total of five service providers as its first-ever winners for this newest award. They are:
- Peter Savage with Clarke Power Services
- Kenneth Calhoun with Altec Industries
- Chas Voyles with International Motors
- Jill Gingrich with Premier Truck Group
- Homer Hogg with TravelCenters of America
