NOTS Logistics is proud to announce that we have been named the 2025 Small Fleet Motor Carrier of the Year by the Illinois Trucking Association (ITA). The award was presented during the ITA’s Annual Meeting & Expo in Bloomington, Illinois—a gathering that brought together trucking leaders, executives, and partners from across the state for three days of networking, education, and celebration.
This recognition is a true honor and a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and excellence demonstrated by our entire team. Selected among numerous carriers, including four other top-tier nominees, NOTS Logistics stood out for our commitment to safety, quality, and innovation—values that have guided us for more than four decades.
“We offer gratitude and sincere thanks to many on receiving this award—specifically our highly trained and quality CDL drivers, our support staff, and our leadership individuals,” said Andy Kirchner, President and CEO of NOTS Logistics. “Safety and quality are the determining factors for this recognition, and our team continues to raise the bar in both areas. This achievement reflects the commitment, professionalism, and pride of every member of the NOTS Logistics family.”
According to Matt Hart, Executive Director of the Illinois Trucking Association, “These award winners, small fleet or large fleet, represent the very best of our industry. They exemplify leadership, innovation, and a deep commitment to their communities and employees. We are honored to recognize their contributions to trucking in Illinois.”
The ITA Annual Meeting & Expo serves as one of the state’s premier trucking events, featuring educational sessions, policy discussions, and recognition of outstanding achievements. The awards ceremony is always a highlight—shining a light on companies and professionals who are driving the industry forward with innovation, safety, and leadership.
