* California - Heavy Duty Trucking Names 2016 Truck Fleet Innovators
-- The editors of Heavy Duty Trucking magazine have announced the 2016 HDT Truck Fleet Innovators, four fleet executives being recognized for their leadership and forward thinking in areas such as driver recruiting and retention, fuel economy, maintenance and more... This year's honorees are:
* Joyce Brenny, president and CEO, Brenny Transportation, St. Cloud, Minn.: "...she has developed a graduated training and mentorship program designed to smoothly bring – and keep – younger drivers in trucking..."
* Randy McGregor, Fleet Manager, Transway Inc., Holland, Mich.: " ... Extensive research and testing has helped him develop a combination of spec’ing and driver training that has allowed him to run 6x2 axle configurations on all power units, despite operating primarily in northern-tier states... "
* Gerald “Gerry” Mead, senior vice president of maintenance, U.S. Xpress. It’s crunching data to determine a total fluids cost per mile (not just fuel), testing solar panels to help handle “hotel loads” on trucks, being on the forefront of beta-testing new fuel-savings technology, or building a highly motivated team of technicians, as U.S. Xpress’ first senior VP of maintenance, he is pushing the top execs’ mantra of innovation throughout the equipment spec’ing, management and maintenance arena for the 6,000-truck fleet.
* John Sliter, president and COO, V3 Transportation, Brunswick, Ohio: He developed a highly collaborative and transparent “recruiting experience” that involves the owner-operator and/or the fleet owner he drives for on the front end “so they feel they are part of the solution, not just one component in the process.”
