The Canadian carrier hit that towering tank truck target only four years later. Tandet attained its 2018 Heil Trophy in the Sutherland division, reserved for carriers who traveled less than 15 million miles, and the Oakville, Ontario-based bulk carrier group this year emerged with a 2022 trophy in the Harvison division for operators who traveled more than 15 million miles. Tilley credited several acquisitions that expanded Tandet's fleet and propelled it into new markets, like hot products; and praised his team for keeping safety top of mind amid rapid growth. Tandet claimed its first NTTC championship with an accident frequency of .150 per million miles-and repeated with lower .053 accident frequency for 2022. In addition to claiming the Grand Award in the new Class 5 mileage category, Tandet-a member of the 7-mil-lion-mile club in 2018-earned the Grand Award in Class 5 in the Personnel Safety Contest with an incident frequency of 0.00 and was recognized for safety improvement over the previous year. Finally, Dave Herdman, a veteran safety manager at Tandet, was named NTTC Safety Professional of the Year in the Harvison division. As Tilley indicated, "Dave helped design our safety system when we started as a tank truck carrier 30-plus years ago. Others have enhanced our safety programs as we have brought on new service lines, but Dave was the guy who helped set our standards. His drive to extend that philosophy for Tandet to be the best in a bigger operation has helped tremendously. |
