At Ruan, recognition is not just a tradition; it is a vital part of who we are. It reflects how much we value the remarkable individuals and teams who drive our success every day. Our Driver of the Year and Operation of the Year programs were established to recognize those who embody Ruan’s core values through their dedication and outstanding performance.
The Driver of the Year program, which began in 2009, starts with nominations of more than 100 top drivers from across the country. From that group, a select few are chosen for the Winners’ Circle and invited to Des Moines each September, where we celebrate their achievements and announce the overall winner.
In 2012, we launched the Operation of the Year program to highlight the exceptional work done by our operations teams. This year, 11 teams were selected as finalists, and the top three have earned a place in the Winners’ Circle. The top operation will be revealed during our annual awards ceremony.
Over time, both of these programs have continued to grow and evolve. Their purpose remains the same: to recognize and celebrate safety, service, and excellence throughout our company. At Ruan, we believe outstanding work should never go unnoticed.
Congratulations to our 2024 Driver of the Year and Operation of the Year Winners' Circles.
