A. Duie Pyle wins American Trucking Association’s President’s Trophy

Apr 06, 2026

A. Duie Pyle (Pyle) announces its recognition as an American Trucking Association (ATA) President’s Trophy winner. After securing five previous wins in the medium-sized carrier class, Pyle made its debut in the 100-million-mile category this year, earning the top industry honor on its first attempt in the large carrier class.

The ATA President's Trophy is the most prestigious safety award for motor carriers in the United States, recognizing one winner in each of the three classes based on annual miles driven. Earning it requires passing through a multi-stage judging process, beginning with a comprehensive data submission and verification round, moving into a deep examination of a carrier's programs, culture and training and culminating in a final review that determines the single best safety program in each class.

“Safety across the country’s most challenging freight corridors requires a collective effort that goes far beyond the driver’s seat. At Pyle, every team member takes personal responsibility for the accountability and excellence our customers expect,” said Peter Dannecker, VP of Risk and Integrated Resources at Pyle. “Winning the ATA President’s Trophy in our debut year as a large carrier validates years of investment in our people and a culture that keeps safety at the core of everything we do.”

Pyle’s commitment to safety is built into every part of its operations, from comprehensive training and proactive maintenance to advanced 360-degree camera systems. By investing in these programs, the company ensures its 102-year legacy of accountability continues to set the standard for the U.S. supply chain.
