Westlake,

of America LLC (TravelCenters), operator of the TA® and Petro Stopping
Centers® travel center brands, is now accepting nominations for the
2019 Citizen Drivers.
The program, launched in 2013, is designed to recognize professional drivers
who evoke public respect for the truck driving profession through good
citizenship, safety, community involvement, health and wellness, and leadership.
Anyone
– fleet owners and executives, co-workers, friends, family members, trucking
organization members, trucking industry customers – may nominate a professional
driver for the honor. Nomination forms, rules and other information can
be found at www.ta-petro.com/citizendriver.
Nominations will be accepted through September 30, 2018.

The
2019 Citizen Driver honorees will be announced at a special ceremony. Over
the course of five years, there have been 31 Citizen Drivers and each have
had the TA-Petro site of their choice named after them in their honor.
“We
always enjoy this time of year, when the nomination period opens in search
for our next set of Citizen Drivers. We encourage everyone that knows or
works with professional drivers to think about who stands out and nominate
them. It’s an honor, every year, to get to know the nominees and to read
the stories that have made an impact on the people they interact with every
day,” said Barry Richards, President and COO of TravelCenters.
Our
industry-expert judging team had a difficult time narrowing down the 2018
nominees to a group of finalists, and eventually honorees. Five nominees
became Citizen Drivers and had a TA or Petro location of their choice named
for them. The signs will be changed at these locations and dedication ceremonies
will take place over the coming weeks. The ceremony dates and times are:
-
June 20,
6:30 p.m. – Danny & Cindy George – TA Wheat Ridge, CO – “Danny &
Cindy George Wheat Ridge Travel Center”
-
June 22,
1:00 p.m. – Ingrid R. Brown – Petro Oklahoma City, OK – “Ingrid R. Brown
