Tech award nominations open

The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) has today opened nominations for the 2019 Craig Roseneder Award, recognising technical and maintenance excellence in the trucking industry.

“Focussing on innovation, industry involvement and mentoring, the Craig Roseneder award recognises the dedication and exceptional skill of Australia’s workshop personnel,” ATA Chair Geoff Crouch said.

“This award highlights the amazing people who work hard to keep our trucks safe on the road,” he said.

The award winner will receive a fully-paid trip to the US to attend the US Technology and Maintenance Council’s 2020 Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition.

The prize includes return airfares, registration to the event, five nights accommodation, partners’ program registration if applicable, $1500 spending money and complimentary registration to the 2020 ATA Technology and Maintenance Conference.

“This award celebrates our unsung workshop heroes and gives them the recognition they deserve,” Mr Crouch said.

“There are so many hardworking men and women in our industry. I’m sure we all know someone deserving of this award,” he said.

The award winner will be announced at the ATA’s 2019 Technology and Maintenance Conference, held October 14-16 at Melbourne Docklands.
