TravelCenters of America (TA), part of the BP portfolio, announced its 12th annual Citizen Driver Award honorees at the Mid-America Trucking Show last month. Craig Daniels of Columbus, Georgia, Jay Hosty of Diamondhead, Mississippi and Darryl Tolle of Cynthiana, Kentucky were selected, according to a press release. 

TA said the award recognizes professional drivers who demonstrate a high level of respect to the truck driving profession through leadership, good citizenship, safety, health and wellness and community involvement. 

"It is a true privilege to recognize professional drivers who exemplify the highest standards of professionalism, safety and citizenship. Their dedication extends far beyond the road—through community service and volunteering, they give back in meaningful ways, strengthening the communities they serve. It was a true honor to celebrate their hard work, generosity, and unwavering impact," said Senior Vice President of Fleet Sales Michael Stuewe, who presented the awards at a special ceremony. 

According to TA, Citizen Driver honorees may select a TA, Petro Stopping Center or TA Express location to be dedicated in their name. A bronze historical marker with the driver’s picture and story will be installed on the front of the building, and a dedication ceremony is held with their closest family and friends. In addition, TA makes a $2,500 donation to each winner’s charitable organization of choice.
