FedEx Express and other carriers were honored at the Arkansas Trucking Association Conference during the awards luncheon on May 17 in Little Rock, Ark.
The association recognized winners in six categories, as well as an overall grand champion celebrating the safest fleets among the Arkansas Trucking Association member companies.
FedEx Express earned the top award for the second consecutive year. In 2022, the company logged over 11 million accident-free miles on Arkansas highways
“When 87% of Arkansas communities rely on trucking to deliver their goods, safety has to be one of the top priorities as fleets travel the state,” said ATA President Shannon Newton. “FedEx Express deserves this honor for the second year in a row because they set a high standard of safety, and the numbers reflect that. The records of the recognized companies are a testament to the thousands of drivers, safety and maintenance professionals who make it their mission to safely move America’s freight.”
