CFI, Cheema Freightlines, and Trans-System Highway Angels named finalists

Public voting for the 2022 Highway Angel of the Year Award is now open

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia:

Since its inception in 1997, TCA’s Highway Angel program has recognized professional truck drivers for the exemplary courtesy and courage they have shown others while on North America’s roadways. TCA, its Presenting Sponsor EpicVue, and Supporting Sponsor DriverFacts, are honored to recognize nearly 100 recipients a year, with over 1,300 to date.

Highway Angels are nominated by their employers, fellow professional truck drivers, or the motorists they’ve assisted and saved.

Beginning today, January 18, the public is encouraged to cast their vote for the professional truck driver who best embodies the spirit of the program. The voting deadline is next Friday, January 27.

The finalists for the 2022 Highway Angel of the Year Award are:
