The Rick Austin Memorial Dispatcher of the Year Award, Sponsored by CPC Logistics Canada

The Rick Austin Memorial Dispatcher of the Year Award wasestablished in 2018 as a tribute to the memory of Rick Austin, Fleet Dispatcher at CPC, who passed away suddenly on March 15th of 2017. Rick was assigned to the John Deere Fleet.

This award is designed to help recognize the exceptional, and often under-appreciated, efforts of dispatchers who have made an outstanding contribution to their company in the past year or over the course of their career.

PMTC President Mike Millian stated “The PMTC and its members are truly honoured to be asked by CPC Logistics Canada to facilitate the recognition of efforts by dispatchers who go above and beyond the call of duty to help ensure the drivers, and fleets that employ them, are the safest operators that they can be. The fact that we can be part of celebrating the memory of a truly great individual to recognize these efforts makes it that much more special.”
