NPTC Honors 52 Certified Transportation Professionals® (CTP)

ARLINGTON, VA – Fifty-two transportation professionals achieved the prestigious designation of Certified Transportation Professional® (CTP) by the NPTC Institute, the educational and professional certification arm of the National Private Truck Council (NPTC). The graduates were honored during a ceremony at the Annual Education Management Conference and Exhibition held April 28-30, 2013 in Cincinnati.

Since the CTP designation was first introduced in 1993, more than 1,000 fleet and transportation professionals have earned the right to add CTP after their name. CTPs are raising industry standards, and in turn, increasing the respect and prestige of the fleet and transportation profession.

“These new Certified Transportation Professionals have demonstrated the knowledge and ability to understand complex operational and regulatory issues, identify and evaluate potential costs and savings, and develop systems and practices that best meet their company’s transportation needs and objectives,” said Bedford Monday, CTP, Chair of the NPTC Institute Board of Governors that oversees the program.

“The CTP designation is a benchmark of excellence earned by a special few, but available to any fleet or transportation specialist will to make the necessary commitment of dedicated effort.”

Each year, Fleet Owner magazine sponsors the CTP Top Graduate Award. This year’s Top Graduate was presented to Josh Botnen, CTP, Senior Product Manager for DriveCam, Inc. His primary area of focus is data and analytics, and he is Pragmatic Marketing certified as a product manager.  Previously, he served as Data Analytics Manager for the company.

Prior to joining DriveCam, Botnen focused on analytics, market segmentation, and market analysis in the banking, healthcare, and real estate industries. He holds a Master’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Montana, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and German from Saint Olaf College.
