“These drivers have earned this honor based on their commitment to our safety culture, customer care, and quality service,” said David Lowry, BME president. “These winners are a great example of the dedication and drive our contractors show, and we’re proud to honor them for their service.”
General Freight Driver of the Year: Charles A. Hacker of Golconda, IL joined Bennett Motor Express in 1997, and was previously honored with the June 2009 General Freight Division Driver of the Month award.
