Best of 2010

OOIDA's media stacked some significant lumber at the Truck Writers of North America 2010 Communications Awards banquet last night -- including taking home the Best of 2010 award. Land Line Now News Anchor Reed Black and Senior Sound Engineer Barry Spillman took home the Best of 2010 award with their news piece on the Convoy of Steel. The piece was certainly a favorite of Land Line Now and Land Line Magazine staffers at the time Reed and Barry crafted it, and the judges agreed. The following are the additional awards presented to Land Line and Land Line Now.
