Minnesota Driver of the Year award goes to trucker with 4 million safe miles

Published:

This week, the Minnesota Trucking Association (MTA) recognized the efforts of a professional driver who has millions of safe miles under his belt.

On January 21, 2025, the MTA named Roger Zima the 2024 Minnesota Driver of the Year for his outstanding driving record, contributions to highway safety, and community involvement.

Zima has more than four million safe miles in his 39 years as a professional driver.

“This award is a great way to honor the best in our industry. Driving safely is no easy task, especially considering his daily driving conditions like congestion, driver distractions, and the added challenges of Minnesota winters. Having over 4 million safe driving miles is an outstanding accomplishment,” says John Hausladen, MTA president.  “We’re proud to award Roger for this achievement.”

Zima drives for Foltz Trucking, headquartered in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Founded in 1958, Foltz is family-owned and operated.

“Roger is a prime example of an employee that lives and breathes the core values and principles of Foltz Trucking,” said Ken Foltz, Foltz Trucking.  “Roger does it right every trip, every day, every week, and every year.”
