Daniel C Phillips, a driver for GenOx Transportation Inc, recently received the Driver of the Year Award from the Texas Trucking Association.
This award is presented to the driver who has exhibited an outstanding deed of heroism or highway courtesy, an outstanding contribution to highway safety, and/or a long record of safe and courteous driving. The driver must have an exemplary driving record and represent the best aspects of the driving profession.
A professional driver for 46 years, Phillips has kept a clean record with no accidents or tickets while traveling six million miles cross country. “I made a promise many years ago that when I leave home I’m going to come back the way I left,” Phillips said. “I’ve fulfilled that promise.”
Upon learning of Phillips’ award, Kevin Mathews, president and CEO of GenOx said, “What an honor to have one of our drivers, especially someone I’ve known for over 20 years, win the Driver of the Year award from the Texas Trucking Association. Dan is a great reflection of our culture at GenOx. He is a good, professional customer-oriented individual. We have many safe drivers who want to be just like Dan in attaining 46 years of safe driving.”
Earlier this year, GenOx won the Fleet Excellence Safety Award from the Compressed Natural Gas Association. GenOx invests heavily in the safety and comfort of its drivers. This focus has resulted in a driver waiting list of 80 safe and experienced drivers who want to work for GenOx.
