The KAPA-KRMCA Safety and Environment Committee is proud to show continued support for the truck drivers within our industry that make our businesses a success. We are, once again, calling for nominations from our membership for the KAPA-KRMCA Driver of the Year. This award recognizes and acknowledges the great contribution that professional drivers make to our industry and to our state. We have expanded the contest by adding the category Rookie of the Year. 

The judging criterion for this award includes all mixer drivers who have driven for at least 12 consecutive months covering the time period from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019 are eligible. The Rookieof the Year must have driven for a least one year, but no more than two years by October 31, 2019. Contract drivers may be included in the program.

This year’s winner will be honored and recognized at our annual meeting January 8-10, 2020, at the Olathe Convention Center in Olathe, KS. Winners will also receive a cash award of $250.  This program is designed to promote safety and motivate your personnel.
