64th Annual President's Cup Golf Tournament
ATA Fleet Manager of the Year
Carolyn Sievers, Reliance (RTS) William T. Gimbel Sportsmanship Award Honoree
This past March, Rebecca “Becky” Pitts, Fleet Manager at Metals USA, received the 2017 Alabama Trucking Association (ATA) Fleet Manager of the Year award. The award recognizes dedication to highway safety, including driver compliance requirements, and roadside inspections. In operation since 1938, the ATA represents state trucking operations and promotes fair and reasonable regulation of the trucking industry. Each year, a group of fleet safety veterans and experts evaluate applications from managers in the over 100 companies of the ATA. “For fleet safety professionals, this is a big deal,” said Don Taylor, Director of Fleet Safety at Reliance. “This is a coveted award.” Becky has been a Metals USA team member since 2014 and oversees fleet safety management for all 13 MUSA locations with fleets which span the entire country. She also serves as secretary/treasurer of the ATA Gulf Coast Chapter. “It’s a passion for me,” said Becky of fleet safety. “The most important thing for me is that drivers come home to their families every night. And when I’m out on the road, I want to be safe, too.”
Approximately 300 President's Cup Golf Tournament attendees were met with blue skies and cool breezes last April as they gathered at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, California, for a weekend of world-class golf, relaxation, and a good time with fellow Reliance family members. Golfers were out on the green early Saturday morning, and the tournament winners were announced that evening at the annual Hawaiian-themed banquet dinner. Congratulations to Henry Borrero, Laura Anderson, Steve Hale, Sam Lightbody, Mike Matsunaga, Travis Moraine, and all our other winners! This year, in addition to the golf awards and door prizes, a special honor was presented to Carolyn Sievers of RTS. The William T. Gimbel Sportsmanship award recognized Carolyn's long and
dedicated volunteerism at the golf tournament. Carolyn was a regular at the early morning golf and pre-banquet registration tables, always eager to greet familiar and new faces alike. Attending her last golf tournament weekend and entering full-time retirement after 40 years of service to Reliance, Carolyn received a standing ovation as she accepted the award from Karla Lewis, our Senior Executive Vice President and CFO – and her personal friend. We wish Carolyn all the best! If you're looking to relive the weekend, visit the President's Cup Golf Tournament page on RELIANCEroots to flip through an online photo book. And don't forget to mark your calendars for a special 65th Anniversary President's Golf Tournament – April 12-14, 2019. See you next year!
