The award was presented March
5th during the association's Annual
Convention, held at the Wynn Las
Vegas. The Past Chairmen's award

organization. Contrary to the title of the
award, the awardee does NOT have to
be a past chairman of the association.
"I have to say that Don Freymiller
is a charismatic leader and strong
driver advocate who built an excellent
company from the ground up. Over
the years, he's readily stepped forward
to share the lessons he has learned
throughout his career with people or
organizations that might benefit from
his knowledge. He's a true 'trucker',"
said Robert Low, TCA's 201112 chairman and the founder and
president of Prime, Inc., Springfield,
Missouri. "In fact, he's the role model
that every trucker aspires to be."
