The ATA has today opened for the 2024 Craig Roseneder Award for Technical and Maintenance Excellence.
Sponsored by Castrol, the award is part of the ATA’s annual ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Trucking Industry Awards.
“Since 1998, the Craig Roseneder Award has honoured the professionalism and commitment of the men and women who work behind the scenes in Australia’s trucking workshops,” ATA Chair Mark Parry said.
“The award is open to any individual who works full-time in the Australian trucking industry for a trucking company, supplier or commercial workshop as a workshop manager, mechanic or provides support within the maintenance field for heavy vehicles,” he said.
Past Craig Roseneder winner Dennis Roohan said, “The ability to rub shoulders with people who have 40, 50, 60 thousand pieces of equipment in their fleet is unbelievable. The knowledge that you gain from talking to these people how they run their maintenance, how they run their teams of people is invaluable.”

The winner will also receive an introduction to the US conference team to assist them in getting the most out of the experience from both a presentation and participation standpoint.
The prize also includes complimentary registration to the 2025 Australian Trucking Association Technology and Maintenance Conference.
