First Guard fleet safety winners

FLEET INSIDER

Trucking insurer First Guard Insurance Company announced the winners of their 2011 fleet safety awards. The criteria used to select the winners included low claims experience over the past year in addition to a superior commitment to safety. Each winner has owner-operator fleets: Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio; Beelman Truck Co. of East St. Louis, Ill.; M.C. Tank Transport Inc. of West Chester, Ohio; and Northwest Logistics Heavy Haul of Oklahoma City, Okla.
