    John F. Winchester Award Luncheon

    Honoring Award Recipient Bill Messenger, Campbell’s Express


    Please join us as we honor and recognize Bill Messenger for his many years of dedicated service to the Association and the trucking industry. Bill serves as President of Campbell’s Express and Vice President of Pitman Warehouse. Campbell’s Express is a longtime member and valued supporter of the New Jersey Motor Truck Association.


    Bill Messenger exemplifies the spirit and dedication of John J. Winchester. A committed member of the New Jersey Motor Truck Association for more than 20 years, Bill has been a steadfast advocate for the trucking industry and the Association’s mission. He joined the NJMTA Board of Directors in 2009 and the Executive Board in 2017. Bill served as Association President from 2021–2023 and most recently as Chairman of the Board from 2023–2025. Throughout his tenure, he has actively supported and promoted NJMTA programs while continuing to champion the industry’s interests and advocate against burdensome regulations in Trenton.


    John F. Winchester was one of the founding members of the New Jersey Motor Truck Association and was in attendance for the first meeting held in December 1914.

     

    He was the association’s first Secretary/Treasurer serving from 1914-1916. In 1920 he was elected to his first two-year term as President and would go onto serve a second term from 1929-1933 and a last term from 1933-1938.

     

    Winchester became the association’s historian and thanks to his efforts he provided an oral history and a collection of association memorabilia. His dedication to the association and the trucking industry was a life-long endeavor.


    In 2006 the New Jersey Motor Truck Association’s Executive Committee decided to establish an award in his honor. The John F. Winchester Award is presented to a member that has a long record of service and dedication to the association and has made significant contributions to promoting the welfare of the New Jersey trucking industry. This is the highest honor to be bestowed upon an association member.

     

    The John F. Winchester Awards Luncheon will be held on May 7, 2026, at Noon at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe.


    Looking forward to seeing you at the luncheon!
