Nominate your Route Driver now!


Nominations will be made online, using a questionnaire designed to be fast and easy, while giving the experience of the nominated route driver. The questionnaire will address the route drivers' abilities in regard to sales, safety, customer service and overall performance.


Prize will be awarded to the nominee — not the nominator.


Quarterly finalists will be featured in one page profiles in Automatic Merchandiser (AM) magazine in 2010. The 2010 Route Driver of the Year winner will be profiled, along with the winner's company in the April, 2011 issue of AM.


Every nominee will receive a baseball cap embroidered with the AM, Kraft Vending & OCS logos and the words: Route Driver of the Year NOMINEE.


Each quarterly finalist will receive a $250 cash prize. The 2010 Route Driver of the Year will receive a trip for two to Chicago to receive their award at an event sponsored by Kraft Vending & OCS -- estimated trip value of $1,400; and a flat screen television – estimated value $1,500.


Employees of Automatic Merchandiser and Kraft Foods Global, Inc. and their immediate family members are NOT eligible to win the Route Driver of the Year Award.
