The nomination deadline is Oct. 29 for the 2011 Overdrive TCA Owner-Operator of the Year. The winner will be presented at the annual meeting of the Truckload Carriers Association, March 4-7, 2012, in Orlando, Fla.

The contest is open to all owner-operators who log a majority of their miles in the truckload segment. Nominees are judged on safety, professional accomplishment and contributions to the industry and their community.

The finalists will be featured monthly in Overdrive as Overdrive TCA Owner-Operators of the Month.
