After two tough days of judging some superb entries, the shortlist for the 2015 Motor Transport Awards has been announced.

DPD once again leads the pack, being shortlisted for four awards, while Cemex is up for two. The pallet networks are well represented, with Pall-Ex shortlisted in four categories, and Palletline, Palletways (UK) and Pallet-Track making one appearance each.

The Apprenticeship category sees manufacturers, dealers and operators go head to head, with Cartwright, Cemex UK, Nagel Langdons, Norbert Dentressangle and Northside Truck & Van all shortlisted.

In the Fleet Truck category, Daf is shortlisted twice with the LF and XF, but faces stiff competition from Scania, MAN and Mercedes-Benz.

And 2015 will definitely see a new winner of the Haulier of the Year, with Conway Bailey Transport, O'Donovan Waste, Potter Logistics and Simon Gibson Transport in the running for the blue riband award.

The winners will be announced at the Grosvenor House Hotel on 1 July so book your place now to be there on the biggest night in road transport.
