Description of selection criteria
In keeping with highwaySTAR’s mandate, we are looking for a well-rounded, community-minded
company driver or owner-operator who is active outside the trucking industry and takes the
image of the industry personally. While driving record, years of service, and driving habits are
important; they will be considered along with other aspects of the driver as a whole.
All nominees will be awarded points based on the extent of their community and industry
involvement, efforts to improve our industry’s image, general outlook on life, safety record, and
years of service.
Nomination forms will be reviewed by a panel of editors and contributors to highwaySTAR
magazine. A short-list of finalists will be peer-reviewed by a panel of drivers and owner-operators
from across Canada.
