May 05, 2025

Bulkmatic, a North American leader in bulk trucking and rail logistics, announced May 5, 2025, that the company received the President's Trophy from the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the highest safety honor from the organization. Bulkmatic ranked as the top carrier in the 25-to-100-million-mile travel category and is the first ever dry bulk carrier to receive the award from ATA.

"We're incredibly proud to receive this recognition, as safety is at the heart of everything we do at Bulkmatic. This award reflects the hard work and passion of every employee, especially our drivers and safety team members," said Brian Daugherty, president, Bulkmatic.

The ATA, the nation's largest and most comprehensive national trade association for the trucking industry, awards the President's Trophy annually to only the top motor carrier in each of three categories based on miles traveled. Each demonstrates superior safety performance across key areas such as driver qualifications, safety management, vehicle maintenance, and accident records. The rigorous selection process, conducted by a distinguished panel of industry leaders, law enforcement, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) officials, highlights Bulkmatic's unwavering commitment to safety.
