Individual Member of the Year Award


The UTA Dealer Group is proud to honor individuals who stand out in our industry and embrace the UTA Code of Ethics.

There are 3 categories:

  • Dealer - Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
  • Dealer - Independent Truck (Non-OEM)
  • Vendor/Supplier

Requirements for qualification:

  • Current paid UTA Member
  • UTA member for more than 2 years
  • In the industry for at least 5 years
  • May not be a current board member
  • Must attend the UTA Convention
  • May only receive once in 5 years

These awards have made a positive and powerful impact on our membership. Those who have received this award, as well as all nominees, have paid that accolade forward. They have done this by highlighting their companies and their role as UTA members. We expect the same positive impact to continue growing in the years to come. 

The 2024 awards will be presented at the 25th Annual UTA Convention in Orlando, Florida.
