Quality Carriers, the leading bulk liquid chemical trucking company in North America, is proud to announce that three of its long-time Independent Contractors have been named P&G Carrier Drivers of the Year: Eric Hartman, Hector Martinez, and Olivia Alfarano.
Eric, Hector, and Olivia were named Drivers of the Year because of their commitment to safety, quality of service, and miles driven for P&G.
“Our professional drivers are the heart and soul of our company,” said Randy Strutz, President of Quality Carriers, Inc. “I am pleased that P&G saw fit to recognize Eric, Hector, and Olivia for their exceptional efforts. The work they do for P&G is remarkable, and I am proud to have them on our team.”
Nicholas Ceffalia, Terminal Manager at T-173, shared, “Eric is the definition of a ‘pro’s pro.’ In an industry where variables constantly change, Eric provides a rare level of reliability, evidenced by his perfect 100% on-time delivery rate for P&G this past year. But his impact on my team goes far beyond the metrics. As a Fleet Owner, Eric leads by example, often stepping up to mentor other drivers on complex technical issues. He doesn’t just deliver loads; he elevates the standard of our entire fleet. Beyond the wheel, his dedication to his church and his commitment to foster care and adoption speak to a level of character that makes us incredibly proud to have him representing Quality Carriers.”
TaraAnn Goodney, Specialist – Driver Operations at T-139, highlighted, “Hector is an outstanding owner operator at Quality Carriers and a true example of what a professional driver should be. Known for his strong commitment to safety, Hector consistently prioritizes the well-being of others on the road and the environment. He takes pride in representing the company, building positive relationships everywhere he goes and serving as a friendly, reliable face of Quality Carriers.
Hector is always willing to lend a hand, often assisting fellow drivers with guidance and sharing valuable tips for other drivers going to P&G plants and customer locations. His easygoing nature, strong work ethic, and positive attitude make him a respected and trusted teammate. Over the past four years, it has been a pleasure to work alongside him. His dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for the job truly has set him apart as a model driver and a devoted family man.”
Joshua Albert, Terminal Manager at T158, shared, “Olivia is a phenomenal team player and a consummate professional. She is an extremely dependable driver, but more importantly, she is a phenomenal person. She has a great work ethic, and can always be trusted to get the job done. I’m grateful to have her on our team, and proud that she has been recognized for this award.”
Eric, Hector, and Olivia traveled to the 2026 Logistics Summit to attend P&G’s award ceremony and receive their awards. Quality Carriers is proud to have these Independent Contractors on its team, and will continue to provide award winning service to P&G in the future.
