"It is a thrill for me as President of Reimer Express Lines to have our driver, Larry Radons, of our Regina Service Center win the Grand Champion Award in the Canadian National Truck Driving Championships held in Regina on September 15th. He represents all that is professional about our drivers in our company and our industry. He has won before indicating the type of talent he has and more particularly the consistency in his driving skills. He has developed excellent safety habits as we teach all our drivers to do, but it comes out without exception when he competes with the best that Canada has. I congratulate him and Harvey Gording for their 1st place wins in the competition and love telling our customers the type of drivers that we have at Reimer Express Lines."
To compete, each entrant had to be accident free for 12 months prior to the championships. At the Nationals, competitors completed a written test, a pre-trip inspection and a driving maneuverability competition. Reimer Express had five drivers compete at nationals out of the total 35 competitors.
