The AMSA Fleet Safety Awards recognize overall safety; improvement in safety, and creativity and leadership in safety program design.  

Mileage Awards are are judged in four categories.  An award is given to the carrier in each mileage category that has the best weighted combination of the lowest DOT recordable accident rate per million miles of vehicle operation and the lowest vehicle and driver out-of-service rate. 

The Fleet Safety Improvement Award recognizes a carrier demonstrating the best three-year trend of improvement in its DOT recordable accident rate, rather than just the best improvement over the prior year. 

The Safety Initiative Award is given to a carrier whose single component of its safety program does the best job of improving its overall safety and risk management position.  
 
Agents and unaffiliated movers are specifically encouraged to independently enter the contests.  Winners have their accident and violation data audited and disclosed to maintain the integity and credibility of the competition.
