Nomination Deadline Extended for HDT Emerging Leaders

Just a few more days to nominate accomplished trucking fleet professionals under 40 who are making an impact and helping lead the industry forward for the HDT Emerging Leaders award. Deadline extended to October 20!

Heavy Duty Trucking has extended the deadline for nominations for its 2026 Emerging Leaders awards. The awards recognize up-and-coming professionals under 40 who work for for-hire, private, government, or vocational fleets operating Class 7 or 8 trucks.

Candidates may work in any area of a heavy-duty trucking fleet’s business, including operations, management, maintenance, safety, sales, marketing, information technology, driver recruiting, or training.

Nominees should hold some type of leadership position, but they don’t need to work in the executive suite. An Emerging Leader could be anyone from a shop foreman or safety manager to a member of the C-suite.
