Jack B Kelley wins first Outstanding Performance Trophy

With an impressive frequency of just .166 accidents per million miles for 2008, Jack B Kelley Inc, Amarillo, Texas, won the Outstanding Performance Trophy in the National Tank Truck Carriers 2008 Tank Truck Safety Contest. This is the first time the specialty gases hauler has won the prestigious NTTC award.

Jack B Kelley was selected from a group of 23 carriers that won the Grand Award in their respective mileage categories for the calendar year. The carrier also is taking home the Grand Award as the winner in the “24 to 33 million miles class” in the Competitive Safety Contest and a fourth year improvement award.

The management team leading the winning company includes Ken Kelley, chief executive officer; Mark Davis, president; and Lee Drury, safety director.

The Outstanding Performance Trophy is awarded annually by Heil Trailer International of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and is presented to the carrier judged to have had the best comprehensive safety program in the tank truck industry during the previous year.

Contest judges this year were: Charles Hochman, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration; Joe DeLorenzo, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration; Tom Schick, American Chemistry Council; and Trooper Scott Maguire, Massachusetts State Police.

NTTC conducts four annual safety contests. These include a Competitive Safety Contest in which carriers compete in separate mileage classes; the Safety Improvement Contest in which a carrier competes against its own record for the previous year; a Personnel Safety Contest that is based on injuries per hours worked; and the Outstanding Performance Contest.

For 2008, the cumulative DOT accident frequency for participants in the NTTC's Annual Safety Contest was 0.544. This represents a slight increase over an average frequency of 0.513 accidents per million miles traveled in 2007. It is important to remember that that these figures are for the companies that participated in the safety contest, not for the tank truck industry overall. In the contest year 2007, NTTC had 99 entrants traveling 2.54 billion miles; and last year those numbers reflect 91 entrants accumulating 2.44 billion miles.

Awards to safety directors in charge of the winning programs were presented at the NTTC Tank Truck Safety Council annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia, in April. Winning companies will be recognized at NTTC's 61st Annual Conference & Tank Truck Equipment Show in San Diego, California, May 10-12.
