Since I went with sports analogies in my last two posts about this year’s North American safety champions—sorry, former sportswriter, can’t help myself—I decided to stick with the theme. And that makes Gemini Motor Transport, the primary fuel hauler for Love's Travel Stops, the Kansas City Chiefs of bulk haulers because it’s the first company to win back-to-back National Tank Truck Carriers championships in 24 years. Unsurprisingly, the last tank truck company to accomplish this rare feat is the winningest bulk transporter in NTTC’s long history, Groendyke Transport, which hoisted consecutive Heil trophies in 1999 and 2000. Against the odds: Gemini celebrates rare safety feat Gemini Motor Transport recorded a lower accident frequency last year than in 2022, when the primary fuel hauler for Love’s Travel Stops earned the first private-fleet championship in National Tank Truck Carrier’s North American safety contest. But Gemini executives didn’t expect to repeat, believing the competition was too stiff, and judges were unlikely to celebrate the same fleet in consecutive years. They were happily mistaken. “Frankly, I was quite shocked,” said Brent Bergevin, Love’s executive vice president of transportation. “Very seldom does anybody win these things back-to-back.” Gemini beat the odds with an accident frequency of 0.255—which is lower than the 0.282 it recorded in 2022, despite covering nearly 7 million more miles in 2023—to secure its third Heil trophy in seven years and become the first two-time reigning safety champion since Groendyke. And Groendyke’s leaders, who view Gemini and Phillips 66 as fellow petrochemical “royalty” in Oklahoma, weren’t surprised. Follow the link for more: https://lnkd.in/gXMJzQbv
