Bulkmatic, a bulk trucking and rail logistics specialist headquartered in Griffith, Indiana, recently claimed the American Trucking Associations’ prestigious President’s Trophy. Bulkmatic, the first dry bulk carrier to receive the award, ranked as the top carrier in the 25-to-50-million mile category.
“We’re incredibly proud to receive this recognition, as safety is at the heart of everything we do at Bulkmatic,” Brian Daugherty, Bulkmatic president, said in a news release. “This award reflects the hard work and passion of every employee, especially our drivers and safety team members.”
ATA, the nation’s largest national trade association for the trucking industry, awards the President’s Trophy annually to only the top motor carrier in each of three categories based on miles traveled. Each demonstrates superior safety performance across key areas such as driver qualifications, safety management, vehicle maintenance, and accident records. The rigorous selection process, conducted by a distinguished panel of industry leaders, law enforcement, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration officials, highlights Bulkmatic’s commitment to safety.
“For trucking, safety isn’t just a box to check—it’s at the heart of what we do,” said Chris Spear, ATA president and CEO. “These professionals lead by example, showing what real dedication and attention to detail looks like day in and day out. Congratulations to the recipients of this award as well as to every nominee. They reflect the high standards and integrity that define our industry.”
