The Next Generation in Trucking Association has launched its second annual Career Catalyst Awards, expanding the program to recognize a broader range of companies working to build the industry’s future workforce.
Announced March 23 in Louisville, Ky., the awards will again highlight fleets and organizations creating meaningful career pathways for young people entering trucking and related fields.

Following a 2025 debut that recognized 16 fleets, the 2026 program introduces two categories: one for trucking employers and another for industry partners, including dealerships, technology providers, and service companies.
