The ATA has named three exceptional workshop professionals as finalists for its 2024 Craig Roseneder Award.
Generously supported by Castrol, the award recognises technical and maintenance excellence in the trucking industry’s workshops and is part of the ATA’s National Trucking Industry Awards program. The winner will join an exclusive group of 25 trucking workshop legends.
Chris Montgomery (CMV Truck & Bus, Derrimut, VIC), David Re (Nationwide Towing & Transport, Noble Park North, VIC) and John Jenkin (Tatiara Truck & Trailers, Bordertown, SA) were selected as finalists by a judging panel that included representatives from industry, regulators and the ATA’s Industry Technical Council.
“Since 1998, the Craig Roseneder Award has honoured the professionalism and commitment of the men and women in Australia’s trucking workshops. Through their dedication to safety, training and excellence, our award winners have made an enormous contribution to our industry and Australia,” ATA Chair Mark Parry said.
“With their superb technical skills and great dedication, Chris, David and John have demonstrated that they are worthy finalists for the award,” he said.
This year’s award winner will receive a fully paid trip to attend the 2025 US Technology and Maintenance Council Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition, to be held in Nashville, Tennessee from 10-13 March 2025, including full registration, return airfares, accommodation and AUD1,500 spending money.
The prize also includes complimentary registration to the 2025 Australian Trucking Association Technology and Maintenance Conference.
The winner will be announced on Tuesday 22 October 2024 at the Castrol Awards Dinner, to be held at Crown Aviary, Melbourne, as part of the 2024 Technology and Maintenance Conference.
The ATA will also present the Castrol Industry Achievement Award on the night. This award recognises technical innovation and achievement; the winner is selected from a range of exceptional people who do not need to nominate to be considered.
